Off the top of my head (movie people have probably seen these, no one else probably has):
Confessions of a dangerous mind
Magnolia
Orgazmo
Battle royale
Infernal Affairs
Old Boy

That’s why I watched it as well. She is just so beautiful. IMO her face is the best part of that movie though…
And as for Inland Empire… if you’re a Lynch fan, you sort of HAVE to watch it just so you can converse intelligently about his films. I think he’s having a big laugh at all of us over that too.

Case in point, I tried watching “2001: A Space Odyssey” the other day. I couldn’t do it. I got 90 minutes into it when I decided it was just a classical music video set to really bad “special” effect.
Really, who cares about space? I’m over it.[/quote]
Not everyone is a movie fan.

I mentioned this in the other “Movies” thread, but fans of Gretchen Mol should watch The Notorious Bettie Page. Gotta love an actress that doesn’t have a problem with nudity AND has a nice rack. Not a bad movie, but not great either.
Forever Mine also shows off her assets, but that one is a bad movie.
Aw, heck. I forgot these:
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai -
Forest Whittaker plays a hitman who lives by the code of the Samurai. He becomes targeted for assassination by the mob.
Chopper - Eric Bana plays notorious Australian criminal Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. This was Bana’s breakout role and led to him being cast in The Hulk.
Stander- Thomas Jane plays Andre Stander, a South African police officer who robbed nearly thirty banks during the 1980s.
No more from me. I think I’ve exceeded my quota for now…

Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell, my favorite movie. So many one liners. Also the prequels to it. Evil dead and Evil dead 2. Not as great but classics none the less.[/quote]
ED2 was the best. I watch all of these at least every month or two.
This isn’t really a movie, but if anyone likes funny ass anime, you should check out Goldenboy. It’s about this dude that rides around Japan on his bike learning about life and striking out with hot chicks.
Boondock Saints
Lucky Number Sleven
Two movies that are both good views (IMO) but not too many people have seen them
Tropa de Elite- Film about the Brazilian equivalent of SWAT (BOPE) in Rio de Janeiro. By the producer of City of God. Equal parts The Departed and Die Hard and based off a true story, I can tell you from personal experience that EVERYTHING the cops do in this film (from killing other cops who sell arms to torturing drug dealers to all sorts of badassery) is for real. You’ll never forget the end scene.
I just watched My name is Bruce. Another Bruce Campbell movie. If you’re a Bruce Campbell fan, it’s a great movie. If not you probably won’t like it much.
-
Phantasm-Low budget horror that works.
-
The Grifters-Jon Cusak, Annette Benning, and Anjelica Huston are all awesome.
-
Raising Arizona-Nicholas Cage’s best movie ever. Probably my favorite Cohen Brothers movie, Miller’s Crossing another of theirs is pretty good also.
-
This is Spinal Tap-I never deploy without this movie, a constant riot.
-
A Perfect World-Clint Eastwood/Kevin Costner movie that reminded me Costner is a great actor.

Bastard.
Der Untergang.
The Warriors, anyone???
Warriors, come out and play.
Agreed - awesome movie.
Definitely enjoyed Hard Candy. Two other movies that I thought I’d see on the list but haven’t.
1-Diggstown- Stars Jimmy Woods, Bruce Dern and Lou Gossett Jr. Basically about 2 guys who bet money on 1 man to win 12 boxing matches in 24 hours. Awesome ending (IMO). I’d definitely recommend it.
2-Poolhall Junkies- The only actor I know by name in this movie is Christopher (God) Walken. It’s basically a more modern version of The Hustler, more humor. Also a great flick.
I’d recommend both
