I like Shaun's list. I'm going to add American Gangster. That movie was pretty awesome.

Good movie, Dan. I was actually intending to put that on there, but while adding movies, it slipped my mind.

i hated layer cake's release ending. a lot. i choose to imagine the alternate ending as the real ending.

John Carpenter's The Thing: classic scifi-horror that focuses on paranoia and atmosphere
High Fidelity - should be in your top 5 list of movies

The Thing is so awesome.

Right now probably Tropic Thunder was probably the best comedy I've seen in a while. For movies on video, I'd have to go with Into the Wild most recently seen.

just watched Ghost World last night. Great movie i'm sure everyone can relate to in some way

also, since you're taking a film class you'll probably end up analyzing a david lynch film, in which case you should take a fistfull of acid and start writing. I couldn't tell you one fucking thing that happened during Lost Highway; to me it was just a series of moving pictures with creepy Robert Blake popping up at times. If cohesive sotrylines were a white woman David Lynch would be Kobe Bryant

Natural Born Killers - Tarentino

Mullholland Drive - David Lynch

That should be enough for you to write a few 10 page papers in a film class.

That movie would be perfect for a class... although, I think the subject matter would be questionable in a school setting.

Either way, the movie is awesome. The ending is classic.

Pirates

Saw the Magnificent Seven. It is awesome. I've only seen two Steve McQueen movies, but I think I'm going to be seeing (27, hopefully) more.

Also, it made me want to see Seven Samurai.

@ the first half of your post:
you should watch the seven samurai

@ the second half:
oh.

Anyone know of any places that have these movies to rent? I went to Blockbuster with some of these in mind but they only had Layer Cake and Equilibrium.

They didnt have The Thing, Natural Born Killers, or Shawshank Redemption. Those are the ones that I wanted really to check out :/

Netflix. Get with the times.

Check the warbls. The warbls have everything.
/I haven't rented a movie in over a year.

The Thing is a movie to own, fuck renting it. Shawshank redemption is usually on TV three times a week

edit: Kung Fu Hustle is also worth getting. It's a superhero movie in the sense the Matrix was, except the fight scenes are dream-like, Crouching tiger hidden dragon-style. Speaking of the Matrix, Keanu Reeves is apparently dating China Chow, who was in The Big Hit starring Mark "Marky Mark" Walberg. My advice is to avoid seeing The Big Hit, as it is SIDS in movie form

Here's another great movie:

Dead Poet Society.

Memento was pretty good, plot gets intertwine and confusing at times, but it's rather good.

Regarding Henry - movie about a guy who loses his memory. Written by JJ Abrams.

Just watched Iron Man again on DVD. So good!

buffalo soldiers

i liked it

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull...

it's... alright. He jumps from one vehicle to another an awful lot for an old man... but it's not bad.

He surivives a new-klee-er explosion in a refrigerator .... not bad ? BAD ! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Shawshank Redemption is the best movie ever.

HEY! It was a Lead Refrigerator.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best Indiana Jones movie. End of story.

I disagree. Shawshank Redemption is a very good movie, but I think the Boondock Saints is better.

-dan

I disagree. Boondock Saints is a very good movie, but I think The Big Lebowski is better.

I disagree. The Big Lebowski is a very good movie, but I think Chasing Amy is better.

You know what, I am just going to agree with that.

Dammit, you guys completely missed the Billy Madison quote.

-dan

p.s. The Princess Bride > *

Short Circuit

Basically Wall-e before Disney.

Fight Club.

End of thread!

Transformers: The Movie?

/Leonard Nimoy, not Shia la Beuf
//Orson Wells, not Bernie Mac

No disassemble Johnny 5!

-dan

Alien Quadrilogy - $30.00 on amazon......book it!

<3

Ferngully, Indian in the Cupboard, Princess Mononoke is some awesome.

Wall E

Great fucking film! Not as magically awesome as Toy Story, but probably 2nd in Pixar's list of awesomeness.

Does this mean I can list my favorite anime movies now?

edit: I didn't introduce anime... Princess Mononoke is so good.

OMG, did you see the newest South Park? Rather funny on this regard, but not their best work.


Anywho, my film professor sorta has me on a Coen Brother Craze, so I watched Miller's Crossing and found it to be wonderful. Prepare to get more Coen Brother reviews as i mow through their stuff.

The Big Lebowski
O Brother Where Art Thou
Raising Arizona

All good.

I have to see Burn After Reading yet. Anyone see that?

Raising Arizona was fucking hilarious. I think my favorite movie of all time would go to the Super Mario Brothers Movie. No matter how bad it was, it's still special in my heart (and my VCR).

Jaws
Tremors
Titan AE
Star Wars

anyone?


Maybe not the best of movies (except Jaws) but still up there in the list.
