:awinky:

Good list,

Pi especially i bought on dvd months ago and have been waiting to be in the right frame of mind to watch it. I saw Darren Aronofsky's other movie, Requiem for a Dream, and it was one of those movies which was just so full on.

I'm a big fan of movies that 'effect' you. It might not be a 'good' movie or a 'bad' movie, but if it emotionally moves you in some way (good or bad), I find it to be most satisfying.

Requiem for a Dream was one such movie.
Punch Drunk Love.
American Beauty.
Trying to think of others, but this hangover is clouding my mind.


And I cant help but put a plug in for my most favourite movie of all time, Ferris Beullers Day Off. When I was growing up, i wanted to be JUST like Ferris, to the point where i started skipping school during grade 12, and eventually bought a convertable
:agrin:

By the way, is anyone here big into manga? And more importantly, has anyone seen the latest remake of AppleSeed? Im dying to see it, but it will probably be years before its released down under.

My top 10, in no particular order

Gattaca
Minority Report
Heist movies like Oceans 11/12, The Italian Job etc
Charlies Angels
Usual Suspects
Bourne Sepremacy/Identity style moves
Dogma
Gia
Matrix
Shrek/Finding Nemo

The book was better. Errr .. nevermind. [/b][/quote]
Aren't they always?

Jesus I should be flogged for leaving "The Big Lebowski" off my list. :D

as should we all

Movie night tonight:

Garden State - I really liked this. Didn't love it, but it was a funny, breezy movie. 4 stars

We Don't Live Here Anymore - I wanted to like this movie and it had a lot of potential, but it was very slow and boring most of the time. And I swear I think Laura Dern is one of the most unattractive females ever. 3 stars

Well last night i watched Latter Days which is a drama about a gay mormon missionary and a gay guys relationship, was an okay movie but nothing worth recommending.

Just saw Disneys Home On The Range wasnt overly impressed by that one either :(

movie night her as well

Watched Garden State again and still loved it
watched Anchorman again and still laughed my ass off

I guess it was repeat movie night

later, after the kids are in bed, we're going to watch ichi The Killer, the wife hasn't seen it yet, hehehe

Yeah, I really like that flick too. Have to grab it next time I buy DVDs.

Oh, you're the guy that liked that movie. I just dont like Will Ferrell.

Christ, speaking of great movies forgotten ..

Planet of the Apes (original)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Sting

Oh, you're the guy that liked that movie. I just dont like Will Ferrell. [/b][/quote]
He is definately either you 'like' him or you 'dont like him' kinda comedian. Personally, I loved Anchorman, but I think that the Brick the Weather Man in that movie (Steve Carell) stole the show.

"I love lamp"
"I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like the guy said... my tummy itches"

I didn't like Anchorman either and I love Will Ferrell. Admittedly, I only watched 1/2 of it, but I'd had enough at that point.

Steve Carell was definitely a huge highlight of the movie

Will Ferrell just cracks me up
"I'm Ron Burgandy. Go fuck yourselves, San Diego."
"You're like a miniature Budha...with hair"
"I'm gonna punch you right in the overy. Straight shot right to the babymaker"

Watched Napolean Dynamite today. Not the worst flick I've seen, but not near as bad as I've read here :awinky:

It was a little cute, but annoying too. 3 stars.

I think for some of the humor, you had to grow up in Mormon country (Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, etc.).

I went to school with a lot of Napoleon Dynamite types...
everyone where I grew up had an Uncle Rico-type relative
outside of the Indian population, there weren't a lot of minorities, so if a Pedro-type moved into the community, he'd be beloved by the outsiders and reviled by the uppity Mormon kids (LDS tends to be a very white religion)

Can't believe I left off my favorite movie of all time. What was I thinking. If I was on a deserted island and had only one movie to watch it's GOT to be Cool hand luke.
