I'm going on nights next week, so this weekend I have to switch my sleep schedule from 11pm-5:45am to 9am-4pm (ish).

To do this, I stay up as late as possible both friday and saturday night, and then sleep as far into the day as I can.

Going out and drinking isn't an option, cause I live in a small, mennonite town during the summer, plus my friends are all pussies.

My plan is to watch a bunch of movies during the wee hours of the night. This is where you come in.

What movies should I watch?


I need some variety, so Comedy, action, thriller/suspense, mystery, etc.

Some actors that I like or am in the mood to watch are Nicolas Cage, Edward Norton, Crhistian Bale and Matt Damon. I also enjoy watching movies with hot women.





?

ok, here are my .02

Nic Cage: National Treasure (I like history though)
Matt Damon: The Bourne Movies are entertaining
Christian Bale: Batman Begins

I'm not sure what you've seen, so I'll throw in some obscure ones.

I'm looking at my 75 DVD's and cant decide on a thing for you.

Memento
Lebowski
Swingers
The Usual Suspects
Can't Hardly Wait
The Count of Monte Cristo
Man on Fire
40 YOV
The Ref
Scent of a Woman
The Station Agent (quirky movie, but was good)

I don't know, I got nothing

Ed Norton: Primal Fear

just watch The Godfather I and II and keep saying, "This, is the business we have chosen"

Mexico listed a lot of good ones. Here are some others:

Good Will Hunting
Casino
anything by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl)
Pulp Fiction
High Fidelity
Runaway Jury
16 Blocks (just came out on DVD. Quality flick.)

I own those as well

16 blocks, I'll have to check it out

Thanks for the post, you pegged my movie tastes almost perfectly. The ones that I struckthrough are the ones I've seen already.

I've wanted to see memento for awhile, will probably check it out.

No doubt I'm gonna get Swingers, as everyone talks about it, and I haven't ever seen it. Plus I'm a big fan of Vince Vaughn.

Scent of a Woman is the movie in which Pacino says the phrase "Hooo-Waaa" right? I might check that out soley for that.






Thanks, the bolded ones look interesting.






Anyone seen the following movies, and what did you think of them?

Finding Forrester
25th Hour
Red Dragon
The Talented Mr. Ripley
The legend of Baggar Vance

You should get some Seinfeld on DVD. Ever seen that show?

Is that the Sitcom with those 6 friends in New York with the hot girl from Bruce Almighty?

Can't Hardly Wait....

That is classic, I forgot about that movie. The black guy is the BEST!

WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER

No you're thinking of Frasier.

Just my opinions.

Nicholas Cage- Faceoff or The Rock

Christian Bale- American Psycho


No, that's Saved by the Bell.

Are you sure it isn't How I Met Your Mother?

Go to imdb.com, look at their Top 250 list, and watch any movie on there that you haven't seen. That's a good place to start.

This film is absolutely astounding, but if you can't find it or it's not your sort of thing Memento or Fargo are both solid choices.

"Oh, Frasier, you're so corpulent, that when you sit around the magnificently appointed tuscan villa, you sit around the magnificently appointed tuscan villa."

Family Guy is great.

Old school at least once in there.

and

american graffiti, (its good if you're not an idiot)

I hated that movie.


wait a minute...

I just added these three movies to my netflix queue.

oh goody, I'm 2-2 with Hobbsey so far in movie recommendations, lets see if I can go 3-3. This is the real test. The Station Agent ain't everyone's cup of tea, but everyone that I know that has seen it, likes it.

seen em, but thanks anyway.


and thanks to everyone for suggestions, I now have more than enough to choose from.

Alright, I went on my movie renting binge, and here's what I went with.


25th Hour
Finding Forrester
Primal Fear
SNL: Will Ferrell (but they gave me adam sandler....meh)
The Talented Mr. Ripley
Swingers
Ordinary Decent Criminal


These weren't the exact ones that I wanted, but I got tired of looking, and just went with the ones I had found.

Every post of yours that excludes gayness and horse rape... is awesome... Good list... ESPECIALLY the bolded ones.
