Playing at a theater near you July 24, 2017 at 12:57 PM UTC #
I went to see Dunkirk this weekend and it was a great picture.  I will say that the score made everything very intense.  The sound was very loud and the seats seemed to shake along with the action on the screen. 
I definitely recommend this picture.

It must be an incredible film to warrant its own thread.

This thread was created for new movies in the theaters. Not just for this one picture. Hopefully, you will see something in future that will bring you back to this thread.

I assumed this thread was created specifically for discussing Dunkirk, since we already have a long running movie thread.

Been there, Dunkirk.
It was ok, 6/10. I can never remember any characters from Nolan movies after I've watched them, but I often remember and appreciate scenes and locations and misc shots.

Everytime, I see the name of that movie, I think it is a new Dunkin Donuts release.

I would have to think, something involving lesbians and chocolate?

The score from Dunkirk seems to just be an orchestra playing higher and higher notes until the credits. It made the entire movie very intense. I was relieved when the movie was over. Thought it was awesome. I liked Inception and Interstellar better, but I am always happy with a new Nolan movie.

Using music in movies to get people to feel a certain way seems like a cheap ploy

Because there isn't music playing in real life you mean? Film is an art form, yo.

It seemed likes the recommend movies thread was more about movies on video.  There was a recent post of Slumdog Millionaire and that was up for best pic like 8 years ago.  Great movie, but recent releases need their own thread.

It is great to see another Nolan pic.  Something historical and something he wrote, directed and produced.  A great reprieve from all the remakes and action hero movies.
