Equilibrium (it should be a cult classic but probably won’t be considered such because of the dominance of The Matrix)[/quote]

I watch The Descent all the time. Was this not a popular movie? I just watched AVP Requiem and was pretty bored througout the whole thing. I also thought the ending exponentialized (is that a word?) its suckiness.

22

A Simple Plan, Stir Of Echoes, & Trapped come to mind

eic & Shammy beat me to mentioning The Boondock Saints (sort of traumatic to see Willem Dafoe as a crossdressing FBI agent) & Guy Ritchie’s movies - Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels has got some of the best dialogue ever… soundtrack was pretty good as well.

a line from Snatch:

-“What’s in the car?”

  • “Four wheels & a steering wheel; what’s it to you?” lol

I actually enjoyed The Descent as well. I had never really heard of it but decided to give it a shot.

Hell yeah it was.

Have any of you Boondock Saints fans seen “Overnight”? It’s a documentary on the total dickcheese that made it, and how he didn’t make a penny off it. (Which would normally piss me off, but after seeing how big of an asshole this guy is, he deserved to get fucked.)

I don’t remember if it got a lot of press or not, but I really liked Memento with Carrie Ann Moss(Matrix hottie).

25

Poolhall Junkies. Fast moving and entertaining with brief appearances by Christopher Walken doing what he does best.

26

Anybody heard of Living Hell? I think it’s by the director of Ringu, but I’m not sure. Anyway, this is the only horror movie that has ever seriously freaked me out.

27

The Suicide Kings with Christopher Walken and Dennis Leary.

When Strangers Appear with Cole Hauser and the chick from Pitch Black.

28

The elephant man (1980) based on a true story.
It’s fucking epic and has one of the best lines ever.

“I AM! NOT! AN ANIMAL!!!”

and

Tout les matins du monde (all the mornings of the world).

Based on a book which is based on a real dude.
It’s in french though. However it’s really cool.
The book is pretty good too.

Aw geez, Requiem, a another good one but you feeling like jumping off a cliff when it’s over. Depressing, but very good!

Edit: Shit, The Elephant Man, almost shed a tear at the end when he wanted to sleep like a normal man. Sir Anthony Hopkins was the Dr. can’t remember who played Merrick though.

Already had this:

But keep them I coming. Always great to get tips on what movie to rent next.

I’d like to add the following:

  • Naked by Mike Leigh: I was simply floored by the nihilism of the main character. Definitely not a feel-good movie.
  • This is Spinal Tap by Rob Reiner: All men play on eleven!
  • To Be or Not to Be by Ernst Lubitsch: Ok, this one is really old (1942) but a real great comedy.
  • Suspiria by Dario Argento: Simply beautiful horror film.
36

The Fountain.

It’s not a flick for the “Transformers” crowd that just wants to watch trash blow up every 10 seconds. Very deep movie, may have to watch it twice to understand the ending. It seems like NOBODY has ever seen this movie.

At Close Range.

Great great acting by Sean Penn and Christopher Walken. It was made in 1986, and is just an awesome movie. Madonna’s single “Live To Tell” was such a big hit that everybody forgot to watch the movie it was featured in!!

Ravenous.

I could not stand the acting, just my opinion

I liked Fido, a boy, his mom, and their zombie.
Is Jimmy in trouble?
Urrrrr

Excellent film! The soundtrack was genius as well. I bought that soundtrack just so I could creep myself out as I worked at night listening to it. lol

Coincidentally, two other “cave” movies with similar premises were released that same year as The Descent. Critics pretty much panned the other two.

Agreed. For some reason, it was better when I first watched it. I guess that is because I didn’t know how crazy the story line actually was. It doesn’t hold the same bite when you see it coming.
