[HugS™]

As for foreign films I really enjoyed:

The Orphanage
The Lives of Others

For war films:
Apocalypse Now

For a good biopic:
The Aviator (Scorcese)

Crime Dramas (Since apparently you don't like the Dark Knight):
Goodfellas (Favorite all around)
Heat
Fargo
Seven
Miller's Crossing

Sports Films:
The Wrester (Amazing, thought not really about the sport of wrestling)

Comedies:
The Big Lebowski
Burn After Reading
Team America
Knocked up/40 year old virgin/Forgetting Sarah Marshall

I could go on but I don't think you'd make much use of a bigger list. I'm sure categories will do you fine, Kira.

 

[Lovage]

yes!

fargo fukken ***** how could i forget about that movie

i rented it from the library

 

[AzN_Lep]

Coen Brother's fan Hugo?
The Big Lebowski is probably one of my all-time favorites

when i was a child i woke up in the middle of the night and came out into the living room to find my dad watching a movie. i asked him "daddy what are you watching" and he told me Predator, and then described the plot of the movie to me over the roar of the guns. then i saw the black guy get ***** and i closed my eyes and ran back to my room and didnt sleep for a long long time

Think of the positives at least it wasn't porn.

 

[Cheeri-Oats]

Libraries are incredible.

 

[Corrupted Mind]

Superbad, Dirty Harry, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Matrix.

 

[Zenting]

[asob4]

anyting with james cagney is AMAZING
i suggest any of his films, especially the public enemy

a good perverse movie is the dreamers, very good indie flick.

a lot of the older movies (depression era) are some of the best films made, i suggest watching anything from that time period.

 

[JTB]

The Truman Show
Battle Royale (Japanese)
28 Days Later
Pulp Fiction (durrrr)
The Princess Bride
Back to the Future 1+2
Matrix Trilogy
The Green Mile

are all movies I really like.

Pixar also makes some amazing movies IMO.

[Frames]

just saw City of God, i really enjoyed it if you haven't seen it gogogogogo

random side note - it was nice meeting lovage/zhu/mango at RoM cali is so chill i wanna go

 

[Lovage]

omg city of god is the bomb

 

[The Greater Leon]

how was watchmen?
anyone?

 

[Frames]

i thought watchmen was an average movie but nothing special i didn't hate it but i didn't really like it either

 

[sprint2k]

a lot of people said some good movies and some okay movies imo

here are some to add:

alladin
lion king
pocahontas
mulan

a beautiful mind
good will hunting
hotel rwanda
the visitor
memento

shadow of the colossus was a pretty epic movie too if i say so myself

 

[Lovage]

thats what i've heard from most people
my brother and i are really big fans of the comic, he saw it and hated it. the story of watchmen is way too long and complex to really frame in a 2 hour movie. apparently the DVD version will be over 4 hours and will include an animated version of the black freighter pirate story (the comic that kid was reading during watchmen that runs along side the main story) narrated by leonidas from 300 LOL should be tight

Pretty sure I'm watching it right now . . .

 

[killer tofu]

Lots of **** and man ***.

 

[VANS]

up until yesterday, i thought Silence of the Lambs was a musical, like Sound of Music, or Singing in the Rain

boy was i wrong @_@

maybe i should watch at least one of them

 

[The Greater Leon]

im on a first name basis with buffalo bill irl

[embracethe12]

i'd **** me.

 

[Nasty_Nate]

It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again

also lovage/atlus im me a link to watch watchmen

IM: Lime827

 

[SuperRad]

watchmen kicked copious amounts of *** and i loved the book

thats the way most of my friends felt too

 

[asob4]

watchmen did a pretty good job of covering most of the comic
the ending made me mad though >:o

 

[Atlus8]

I just finished Watchmen and it was good. (Not great)

 

[The Greater Leon]

i dont know if i want to go see it or not

 

[debaser]

i dont know if i want to go see it or not

It's basically just a reconstruction of the comic with a slightly altered ending and shortened up a lot. And even then the different ending ends up producing the same results and gets the same themes across and what not.

just read the comic. If you've already read it, then read it again

 

[asob4]

if you just like to see what it's like in movie form, go see it
if not then **** it

i think it was great though
