Outaservice

Yikes, my above post was #666! Am I going to have a bad day yet or what?

Outaservice (getting scared now)

Equilibrium - It didn't do so well at the box office but I know a lot of people who like it. There are also some scary parallels to JW life in the way a futuristic society is portrayed. Well worth the watch in my opinion.

Sparkplug

One of my favorites is "Primer".
It was shot for less than $7000 and is definitely a thinking persons movie. There is usually one copy on the shelf at Blockbuster.
It's about two guys that invent a time machine in their garage and the unknown implications with using it.....
You'll have to watch it at least 3 times to get what is happening, and then look up some forums online to piece it together.

They made that here in Dallas. Great film. I think it was here in Dallas...??? Maybe I am wrong!

I enjoyed Red Eye.

I enjoyed Red Eye.

This has a PLANE in it, and therefore does not constitute a GOOD film!

Twitch

"Blade Runner" - sci/fi/detective thing with a twist on what it is to be human

"An American Werewolf in London" - horror/black comedy, first to cross the genres

"The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and her Lover" - drama

"Caddyshack" - comedy classic

poppers

The Emperor's Club
Second Hand Lions
Seabiscuit
Finding Forester
Saving Private Ryan

I'm with KatieKitten on "A Beautiful Mind". This was one of the best movies I have ever watched. It is very long but facinating. The ending is really an eye opener.
