<div class="quote_poster">authentiq Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Very. Nice. List . Those would be on mine as well, you seem like a movie buff. Some others movies I suggest you check out: - Apocalypse Now - City Of God (VERY good movie) - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - Lawrence Of Arabia (Oh, I wish I could this on 70mm) - Chinatown - Requiem for a Dream - Taxi Driver</div> 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...
Half-Baked is a classic, so is easy rider, donnie darko....oh and American History X is one of my favorites.

You didn't read page 3, post #43. Yea so 2 posts/100 or 3 if you include yours.
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.

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"??
<div class="quote_poster">TheBlackMamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Fight Club is a good movie, but I think a lot of people overrate it.</div> 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.

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.

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.
