[u]Audition[/u]-strange Japanese ‘love’ story. [u]Spun[/u]-the best representation of the amphetamine high ever commited to celluloid. [u]Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas[/u]-one of Johnny Depp’s best. Benicio Del Toro also rocks. [u]Shadow of The Vampire[/u]-strange, atmospheric film dealing with the filming of Murnau’s Nosferatu. [u]Dig[/u]-the best rockumentary ever made. Shows the complete hedonistic abandon of the Brians Jonestown Massacre. [u]Metallica: Some Kind of Monster[/u]-Metallica ‘out-Spinal Tap’ Spinal Tap. Every scene makes you cringe. [u]Kozure Okami[/u]-The Lone Wolf and Cub series of films. A must for all samurai/martial arts fans [u]Ran[/u]-Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning film. A samurai version of King Lear. [u]Tasogare Seibei[/u]-a widower who tries to protect his one true love from a violent husband. Set in feudal Japan. Stunning.
I’ll stop there before T-Nation start to run out of room on their server.
Loved the first two. Had mixed feelings about Audition. Supposedly it was the inspiration for “Hostel”. Definitely better than “Hostel”, that’s for sure.
Definately BAXTER(the French one). It’s about a Bull Terrier who kills his owners. Funny and twisted at the same time. Check it out, if you can find it.

I took your advice and came to realize you must be retarded. That was the second worst movie I’ve ever seen.
It’s funny Some Kind of Monster was mentioned. I saw it recently for the first time (since VH1 has been playing the hell out of it). I thought it was interesting, but it was pretty pathetic. Not a side of a metal band you really wanna see.

Good choices. Funny Games is one whacko movie … very disturbing and a good idea to watch that as a reality check when thinking what martial art to study.
“The Core” - I really liked that. It wasn’t perfect science but it was damned interesting, had a human touch, was adventurous etc… a fine movie.

Fresh was a truly good flick. Has that kid been in anything else?
Everyone here should check out boiler room also. I saw a flick last night called “Dallas 362” that was really good, probably partly 'cause it somewhat reminded me of my knuckleheaded youth.
I just rented “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” this weekend. I remember it getting so-so review when it came out, and don’t know why.
It starts out kind of slow, but that’s just for 10 minutes. It then kicks into high gear for the rest of the movie. The dialogue is great and Downey and Kilmer have an excellent repoir.
If you like film noir, you’ll like this movie. If you like the Fawcett Gold Medal PB “pulps” of the 50s and 60s , you’ll love this movie. If you like Raymond Chandler, you’ll really get a kick out of it.

Speaking of French, how about Henry, Portarit of a Serial Killer. That was one twisted flick.
