American History X was a better film than Crash, too. It had a great performance from Ed Norton.</div>


Hell yeah. Norton's performance was amazing. Great movie.
 
Donnie Darko
From Dusk Till Dawn

Great movies with a darker and unexpected edge.

Damn, man, you're a real movie buff, good choices.
Check out In The Heat Of The Night you would like it
 
I love movies man. They portray so much. Little movies like Click to complex movies like Momento, if it's a good movie, I'll probably love it.

I've always been into movies though, it's strange. Nobody else in my family watches movies like me, just the more popular ones.

I'll be sure to check that movie out.
 
if u want a good foreign film to watch with your girl, try "mr and mrs. iyer"
 
Saw Grudge 2 last Saturday. Wasn't really that scary and had a stupid ending. Didn't like it.

Apocalypse Now is a great movie. Been waiting for awhile now to pick it up, I'll probably get it with some gift cards.

I've heard great things about City of God, I really need to check this out.

Dr. Strangelove....was a good movie, I've seen it twice.

I haven't seen Lawrence of Arabia, I'll check that out.

I've heard great things about the last three, also. I almost picked up Taxi Driver today, I'm a huge on Robert De Niro, great actor.
 
I'm absoloutely shocked, appaled, and dissapointed. I actually went through the whole thread. The only person to even mention fight club was junoon.

I expected it to be mentioned atleast every 3 posts...

You didn't read page 3, post #43.

Yea so 2 posts/100 or 3 if you include yours.
 
I just saw Lucky Number Slevin. Very enjoyable movie.
 
I saw Lucky Number Slevin 2 or so weeks ago. I didn't really like Morgan Freeman's character that much (or I felt he overracted on some parts) but I thought Josh Hartnett did a great job. Although the movie became kind of hard to follow at some points, it was a pretty good spending of 2 hours or whatever the length of the movie was.

If you like those plot-twist type movies, Along Came A Spider is an excellent movie as well.
 
ATL was a surprisingly good movie. I saw Final Destination 3 recently as well. Cheap thrills for Halloween.

EDIT: If you like documentaries Grizzly Man and Murderball are really good.

Fight Club is a good movie, but I think a lot of people overrate it.
 
What is that movie called, I watched it in my class, it is something like "Millions" I think, and also, did anyone watch a movie called "Friday"??

I agree - the whole "they're really the same person!" twist was so obvious and kind of a cop-out.
 
-Troy (for entertainment purposes) - I thought Erica Bana portrayed Hector perfectly, he was bad ass.
-Black Hawk Down - Once again, Eric Bana's character was great; surprisingly good movie.
-Band of Brothers - great mini-series
-Lord of War - I love Nicolas Cage's character, and I'm not a big Cage fan
- Donnie Brasco
-Ronin
-Batman Begins - This movie stayed true to the comic books, and I love Batman
-Casino - I can't believe I left this movie off my lists

Disney Movies
-Lion King
-Aladdin

BTW, Lion King on Broadway was f'n amazing. Truley a must see.

I agree, it ruined the movie for me. My friend raved and raved and raved and raved and raved about Fight Club, so I picked it up cuz it was on sale for $9.99. I thought it was such a waste of money. Good movie, but not up to the standards I expected.
 
Shinobi, it's kind of a love story. Only in japanese, but I love the action sequences and all the Shinobi's abilities.
 
watch "HOOP DREAMS", its three hours out of your life and u'll be enriched for it. fyi- chuck swirsky, the raptor play by play guy calls a game in it.

Didn't like Eyes Wide Shut huh? I'm a huge Kubrick fan too... Still haven't seen Paths of Glory yet though, read some great reviews on it.

It's cool how you mentioned Eraserhead. I just bought it recently but haven't gotten around to watching it cuz ppl have been telling me it maybe a little too abstract for my liking. But since it seems like your tastes are similar to mine, I think I may finally check it out now....

Good that you mentioned Why We Fight too. It's a must for all americans who aren't familiar with the military-industrial complex.


Since everyone's listing some movies I guess I should list some too. Here's some recent ones I've watched that I highly recommend:

- Thank You For Smoking
- The Descent
- Half Nelson
- Old Boy (Korean flick)
- Before Sunrise & Before Sunset (don't usually like chick flicks, but these two are brilliant imo)
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
 
Eraserhead is a great favorite. I'm planning to be him for a Halloween party on Monday. As for Eyes Wide Shut, I think Cruise ruined it. He's never been a favorite of mine, aside from Magnolia, all his other films I can't stand. I like getting lost in an actor, with him, he's just too big of a name for me to shy away and say, "well this is a good character." As for Paths of Glory, I liked it but not one of his stronger works definitely. It's based on a book that's very similiar to All Quiet on the Western Front, so that's where the lines crossed as that is one of my favorite books. I have too many limitations and baracades when selecting something noteworthy. I'm picky.

I've been meaning to see Half Nelson, I hear Gosling is brilliant in it. Of course, Old Boy (a classic). I gotta rent that one again.
