The second is a bit kinked but completely worth it, enough so that I spent a couple hours trying to find a decent way to torrent it before ultimately realizing I don't have the time for a really good solution. ____________________ slippedhole> I am on to you and your evil intentions.

It was Russian, and had subtitles. It was a fantasy/scifi flick, with this sort of "all these things exist but the average person doesn't know". The main character could foresee things, he drinks pig blood to see what a vampire is going to do, there's a curse with this huge swirling vortex, and a guy that pulls his spine out of his back to use a weapon. They were trying to protect some kid or something. I saw it last year when it hit American theaters. Its part of a series. Anyone?

Direct URL BigDinWaunakee SENATOR BABYHEAD Posts: 112 Registered: 1/24/2007 Offline 4/27/2007 at 03:56 Try a Federico Fellini flick, Criterion edition (for commentary), like La Dolce Vita or 8 1/2. Hour of the Wolf, by Bergman is a nice surreal, psychological horror movie. Once again, get a copy with some notes/commentary. American History X with Edward Norton. The Constant Gardener The Devil's Backbone Grosse Point Blank (small budget release with John Cusack) Man on the Train Rabbit Proof Fence Reversal of Fortune (Von Bulow murder case - Jeremy Irons) Rushmore (Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman) Xizao (Shower) Tigerland (Colin Farrell before he hit) Almost Famous (Billy Crudup) Boogie Nights Well, that should keep you busy. Enjoy. If you like Horror, I can recommend several, non-Slasher horror flicks if you are interested. ____________________ Knight of Swollen Testes Direct URL nocal It's insane, this guy's taint SSHOLE Posts: 811 Registered: 8/25/2004 Offline 4/27/2007 at 04:40 There is a Korean movie OnDemand with Comcast right now, it's called "Memories of Murder," and it is awesome. There is another one called "Bright Future" that is very slow and full of symbolism and imagery, but it's more interesting in retrospect when you have an idea of what it's all about. Watch that one if you have patience.

I dug this, it is worth watching. I've thought long and hard about this question, and I can only come up with one really good answer, but it will seem like I'm being a non-specific doodyhead. Just watch movies, watch as many as you can, watch both mainstream and fringe/foreign films. Don't buy the bullshit that if it made outside of North America it is better (Bollywood=Exhibit A). Watch bad movies, because a really bad movie is good in it's own right. ____________________ the rice I had yesterday came out practically verbatim Direct URL BigDinWaunakee SENATOR BABYHEAD Posts: 112 Registered: 1/24/2007 Offline 4/27/2007 at 21:00 Don't listen to Wrecker about Tigerland and the Colin Farrel penis fixation. Tigerland is a great Vietnam war era film, that deals with honor and sacrifice, and how everyman faces that reality, if and when their time comes. Perhaps Wrecker was confused with Mr. Farrell's cock appearance in Alexander or Home at the End of the World, because I don't re-Member that in Tigerland. And, even though Schumaker made Tigerland, it still turned out good. Hey other recs: Ginger Snaps May The Innocents Gods and Monsters Angelas Ashes Like LordK recommended... Just take chances with some movies, both domestic and international. Some directors can really blow in one movie and hit it out of the park on the next. Good luck, Grasshopper. ____________________ Knight of Swollen Testes Direct URL sadiesue Tender vittles Posts: 15 Registered: 5/30/2006 Offline 4/27/2007 at 21:27 You guys are awesome, thanks! I already had "Sylvia" on my list to watch, so that is cool. LOVED "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Boogie Nights" (though I need to wait a LONG time between watchings because it makes me jones) (wait! not jones for porn! ha ha ha, you know...), and "Almost Famous". I am thinking it's going to take me a few months to get through these titles. I work a lot, but watching movies is part of my job... to be able to know what all is out there and what to recommend. Though most who call are pretty mainstream. Anyway, the titles you all suggested that I read synopsis on seem like stuff I would really enjoy. Ghost: you're right, I am sure I will love "24 Hour Party People" BTW, I saw "Brokeback Mountain" and it made me really sad. Besides not being able to understand Heath Ledgers' mumble most of the time, I really liked this movie. Ah, but I'm just a sentimental girrrrlrrllll! Direct URL sadiesue Tender vittles Posts: 15 Registered: 5/30/2006 Offline 4/27/2007 at 21:30 ALSO! Really enjoyed "Rushmore", "Running with Scissors", "Leaving Las Vegas"... "Shortbus" will be watching soon. What about "Requiem for a Dream"... that was some crazy ass shit... I'd like to watch that one again. Direct URL Lever Tender vittles Posts: 9 Registered: 1/8/2005 Offline 4/28/2007 at 16:25 Good indies, there are so many. Along with "Rushmore" (I must be one of only 100 people to have actually seen it in a theater on its release), any of Wes Anderson's movies are so much fun. "The Royal Tennebaums", "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou". Also, I have tended to enjoy almost every indie Bill Murray has done over the last decade, which includes, but is not limited to, most of the previous. Find a director/actor you like, then use IMDB as your friend to fill out your want to see list. Also, for randomness sake, if you have cable, you can trip on some fun stuff on Independant Film Channel (IFC). ____________________ Freedom of choice, Is what you got Freedom from choice, Is what you want Direct URL vasudeva Bad Taste in your Mouth SSHOLE Posts: 4464 Registered: 3/8/2002 Offline 4/28/2007 at 17:32 sadiesue: You guys are awesome, thanks!
