I'm running out of movies I want to watch. Start suggesting stuff for me. Preferably more indy stuff that I'm not likely to've heard of, preferably at least a bit on the "edgy" side. I like pretty much every genre (save maybe horror), and I'm not opposed to subtitles. Shoot.

mean creek
clerks
eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
Slacker (1991)

I've seen Clerks, Sunshine and Mean Creek. I'll check Slackers out.

not slackers. slacker. big big difference

Duly noted

Blood In, Blood Out (Bound by Honor) ese

Grandma's Boy

Simon Birch

Equilibrium

Anything with Ashley Blue

Yeah, Slackers is a much better film.

Little miss sunshine (funny)

repertoire:
no mans land
une pure formalite (Gerrad Despardieux)

Documentary:
Jesus Camp
Death of a president (don't watch this if you are patriotic, this isn't even at all a documentary)

oh and Alpha Dog (its with Justin Timberlake but way underrated IMO)

Runthemover's list:

SLC Punk

I'll check it out.

The Warriors

Good movie.

Seven Samurai

People have been on my balls to see this for years. I'll get around to it.

The Third Man

Eventually...

Bottle Rocket

I'm completely gay for Wes Anderson.

The French Connection

Very good, stiil overrated.

Happiness

Had to IMDB it. Sound interesting.

Gosford Park

Boring. Sorry, it was.

The Sting

I love that movie.

All the President's Men

I'll consider it.

Run Lola Run

I'll sound interesting.

Battle Royale

One of my favorites.

Oldboy

Awesome.

Constantine

Was it as bad as it looked? It looked bad.

A Scanner Darkly

Cool visuals, and I love RD, Jr., so I enjoyed it.

The Triplets of Belleville

I seem so recall this looking cool, but have no idea what it's about.

You're my best contributor, thusly.

Grand Canyon.

Saturday Night Beaver staring John Holmes and Bambi Allen

Aswesome Brit Movies:

Layer Cake

Sexy Beast

I'll reinforce SLC Punk & Run Lola Run, both are awesome!

Here is a documentary that comes with a warning! If you watch this, you can never bitsch again...about ANYTHING...it's over...:

Little Dieter Needs To Fly

They also just made a Movie Movie out of it, called Rescue Dawn. Same nutcase director, Werner Herzog, which leads me to this documentary about Herzog and Klaus Kinski called:

My Best Fiend

Herzog will also be an actor in "THE GRAND" coming out soon. It's a poker mockumentary and already earned the nickname "Spinal Felt".


And here a few random ones:

Domino (Keira Knightley is so fkn hot)

Lord Of War

It's all gone, Pete Tong

Brazil (Pretty sure you've seen it...)

Downfall - Here is a scene from the movie about Hitler's last days.

Have fun!

Pretty much everyone has seen it, but it is still one of my favorites:

Heat (1995)

A good companion movie for Seven Samurai is, of course, The Magnificent Seven

Also, another good Brit flick is Gangster #1

One that just popped into my head, but has probably been seen by many is Se7en (David Fincher)

Constantine is awesomely bad. If you love Keanu Reeves bad, then it will satisfy you.

waking life is a little crazy can be very interesting though if you know a little bit of philosophy. city of god (subtitles) is a great movie i highly reccomend it if you havent seen it. grizzly man lol for a documentary and i will think of more later and post them if those dont suffice or you have already seen them.

- conor

Seen all. Not huge on WF, loved CoG, GM was unintentional hilarity.

A big thumbs down on SLC Punk for me. It's a bland coming of age story, but with a "punk" attitude, or what ever. I didn't care fore it.


Did you ever watch In the company of Men?


Happiness is another I'd recomend. Definitely edge.

The Seventh Seal, if you've never seen, is great.

Requiem for A Dream (I also recomend the book and the author in general, Herbert Selby.. Last Exit to brooklyn is amazing)

The Seven Samuri is as good as advertised, IMO


Touch of Evil by Orson Wells. It has Charlton Heston as a Mexican Cop ( forced on by the stuidio) and it's STILL brilliant despite Heston.


Um... that's all I got. I just watched Hotel Rwanda. Pretty good, but everyone knows that. Nothing like a little genocide to put a little pep in the ole pecker.

Yeah, loved it.

Let me echo that "Run Lola Run" is excellent.

I tortured myself with "Gosford Park" because of all of the great reviews and awards and found it to be quite boring also.

Not quite sure how you feel about comedies, but some "somewhat unknown" ones that I like are "A Life Less Ordinary", "The Hudsucker Proxy", "I Heart Huckabees", "The Tao of Steve", and "Man of the Century".

Hudsucker proxy is brillant! I love tha movie!


Also I give thumbs up to run lola run.

I watched The Triplets of Belleville, and highly enjoyed it. I also watch Mission: Impossible III (I have a thing for Michelle Monaghan, plus the first one was admittedly bad-ass), and didn't highly enjoy it. Next up I think will be Slacker.

Slacker was really awesome. Some of the coolest dialog I've ever heard; hippies are truly an undertapped source for unintentional comedy.

Also, I noticed a truck in the background in one scene that said "Ron Paul" on it.

An obscure good very indie movie that captures both a time period of awesome music as well as garage band is Bandwagon. Good luck finding it though.

I love Dead Again by Kevin Branagh. Lots of suspense, a homage to Alfred Hitchcock, Andy Garcia looks so mighty fine and Robin Williams adds some creepy comic relief.

Plain Clothes is a movie that you know is kind of stupid but you just can't help loving it. It's a dark high school comedy with lots of old B actors. Maybe this movie is so dear to me because Arliss Howard reads the ee cummings poem She Being Brand... it's hot!

Quirky, funny and irreverent Real Men is one of those movies that seems completely silly while you are watching it and at the end you realize this is one smart and funny comedy. The chemistry between John Ritter and Jim Belushi is great. Oh... and the clowns... (you have to see it!)

Somewhere in Time is my all time favorite movie but I know, it is a chick flick. Romantic, sweet and endearing with a beautiful music score, this movie is all about love. However, the acting is good, Jane Seymour is beautiful, Christopher Reeves is so clumsily charming that even my step father liked the movie (his favorite movies are the Death Wish series). I recommend it but I know it is not for everyone.

Now I have never seen Army Of Darkness but someone I know is trying to get me to see it... It looks stupid to me but when this guy was mentioning the movie to me someone in the next room overheard, came in and said... "I can't believe you haven't seen Army of Darkness" as if this is some great movie that everyone should see. It looks stupid to me but I thought I would throw it out there.

Um... Army of darkness is like a total guy movie.. You should only see it if you A) like horror movies and like camp.. it's by sam raimi, and it's the sequel to Evil Dead 2 ( which is essentially a remake of evil dead 1) Evil Dead 2 is BRILLIANT in horror camp, and in how many cool shots and cool stuff goes on in the movie on such a low budget. It's hilarious, and way better than army of darkness, but AoD is funny, for certain.

Since we're on the subject of Bruce Campbell, I thought he was terrific in Bubba Ho-tep.

yea Bubba Ho-tep was a good movie. I managed to see it in the theatre on a day where he was there for a Q n A right after. Awesome.

SLC Punk is a poser movie.

I know everyone loves this movie, but I could not get through it, it was too slow for me.

A good weird euro movie is INTACTO and it has a gambling theme, they gamble with people lives, literally! If you see it let me know what you think.

Also, two of my favorites that never got any big screen time is a Murder of Crows with Cuba Gooding and the Spanish Prisoner with Steve Martin(not a comedy)

I went and saw Spanish Prisoner at a little art house theater in KC. If you like Mamet and/or con artist type movies you should really enjoy this one.

Have you seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. British movie that I think is pretty cool.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/

Just noticed that it was released as Two Smoking Barrels in the USA if you're looking for it.

That was a descent movie, kinda like Snatch, a Guy Ritchie film, worth watching, but I think I found it a little stretched out and got bored during part of it. I saw it a long time ago so I don’t remember too well but the movie starts with a little degenerate gambling which is always fun.

Kinda'? It was pretty much just a more British version of Snatch (call it Twat), somehow, though the plot was different. Still, good movie.

Only thing is Lock Stock was released a couple of years before Snatch. They def. have some similarities though.

In seattle, by any chance?

Favorite line from this movie;

Belushi: They want the Big Gun, it's a gun so big it will destroy a planet

Ritter: Who are they going to use it on?

Belushi: The Russians!



Great movie Theresa

not quite. It was in socal. Across the street from UCI.

must be a older film.

Watch Requiem for a Dream, it's just awesome.

Yes... but it is a must see. My son (who just turned 19) and I watched it together a couple of months ago and he loves it as well.

The movie has it all, it's a buddy movie, it has aliens, it has clowns, it has a librarian, it has a dominatrix, John Ritter still has his three's company good looks, Jim Belushi is funny, there is a transsexual and a bunch of CIA and KGB agents. Seriously... this is one of the most underrated movies ever when it comes to comedy.

Earthlings

It's a documentary best viewed while eating beef jerky.

All this alien talk just reminded me of a funny little film that not many people have heard of...

Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human

It's a docu-comedy starring Carmen Electra and Sean Astin's brother (who looks like a skinnier version of him).

Orgazmo is funny.
