Posted December 17, 2005 the big lebowski is a great film and if you like it (its been suggested a lot) you should try other Coen films like Fargo O brother where art thou? raising arizona the hudsucker proxy millers crossing to name a few ! if you watch Kurosawa's seven samurai (best film ever) then watch rashamon fidden fortress (remade in to stars wars) yojimbo (remade into A fist full of dollars and more recently last man standing) Sanjuro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2005 American Beauty: awesomely realistic story all mixed in a dreamy, poetic zest. Never thought a plastic bag could evoke such deep emotions. Love the tragic ending of some characters. Traffic: awesome plot, semi-documentary, very nice use of colors, deep characters. One of the best movies out there. I love it how all the different stories of the characters all interfere. Blow: It has johnny depp in it, should be enough. Based on a true story. Just loved this. Love it how Young becomes filthy rich just by being at the right time and place. All Tarantino films. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jacky Brown, Kill Bill I and II... About Schmidt: if you don't cry at the end of this movie, you're a monster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 17, 2005 Three great Studio Ghibli films: Spirited Away - sheer genius Princess Mononoke - Both highly entertaining and thought provoking Grave of the Fire Flies - About a guy and his little sister trying to survive in Japan near the end of WW2. A powerful, emotional, highly distressing film. Have the tissues ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 17, 2005 not everyone is into anime, but if you like it then you can't go wrong with Akira. i know its cliché to name drop it but its a very good film. it has a great cyber punk dystopian settings and deals with all kinds of insanly deep shit. watch this with an ice pack ready. trying to get the end may result in over heating your brain. worth the effort though.

Posted December 17, 2005 Donnie Brasco is awesome for a few reasons; gangsters, al pacino and johnny depp. These three reasons are usually enough to see any movie alone. It's based on a true story about a policeman going undercover to bring the mob down, and ending up sorta switching sides. French Connection is another cop true story thang, with gene hackman who is not a bad actor (ignoring the fact that he can't act anything besides a law figure), with a legendary chase scene and nice use of camera for the era. Also; The Firm and Unforgiven for further Hackman goodness. Chinatown, Roman Polanski is an odd guy, but a great director. This is a film Noir with ol' Jack Nicholson playing the gumshoe, except teh movie does not end up how they usually do. If you think it's no good then you're wrong. K? L.A. Confidential for further Noir excellence, SEE IT! One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest has been mentioned, but I loved it. Jack FTW! It's been mentioned in passing, but Cube is a cool little cult movie now, with an obligatory sequel and prequel already around (neither as good as the first film of course, but the prequel is worth seeing). If you like Saw then you should like Cube fo' sho'. Yes. Nothing here that isn't known already i'll admit- Like everyone else here I wish I'd kept a running list of the great movies I've seen. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched Chinatown but was on the computer so I never paid attention. Any others you can suggest? Particularly contemporary(ish) noirs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
