You're my #1 fan!
You are SUCH a girl!
Depending on my mood, sometimes there is no such thing as too much gore (see: Dead Alive)!

Never heard of it or seen it. But I'll be hitting IMDB up a bit later on to check it out. Thanks for the reccommendation!

I enjoyed it because they kept the "imagery" so close to the graphic novel. Much like what they did with Sin City. Loved it!!
...one of my all-time favs...
...didja know that warner bros has a remake in the works?.....and supposedly it will be closer to the book than the original movie was...........

I agree with you 99.9%. Why just 99.9%? Because the leftover tenth was spent watching Record of Lodos War, which was fantastic in every way
...lol...too funny...i watched that a couple of weeks ago....both king lek and his son, prince lek, asked me what it was about..............all i could say was that it was 'very surreal'..............then the prince asked me if there was a fountain in it..............:Smug:

No way. Those movies are completely different in everything beside the fact that they are both about criminals. The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies.

Watched The Fountain last week, and it certainly kept me interested. The visuals were great, and I was reading that the director got his budget slashed and used some of the same techniques Kubrick used in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Fountain is one I intend to watch again to see what I missed.

...i understood what 'the fountain' was about, i just couldn't really explain it to anyone...
...every time i see '2001: a space odyssey', i understand more and more...

Got Shred??
Yeah I didn't get that movie at all. I tired to watch it last week and it was just a no no. I like trippy movies too, just that one left me hollow...

*flips hair* Yes. Yes I am. So much so that I enjoy the animated Disney musical films. And The Last Unicorn.
However, thanks to Disney I now have an unrealistic view of love and now my life is ruined forever. *huffs*
Though I REALLY have a secret love for movies with lots of explosions and guns. The bigger the guns, the happier I am. Die Hard movies make me happy on oh so many levels.
Ridiculously hot. She manages to be both cute AND beautiful. Sascha Cohen is one lucky dude.

@booB: Not familiar with David Lynch. Sorry.
Gory, yes, but not unnecessarily so... the gore is constructed to contribute as much as possible to the viewer's psychological response. If you were turned off by the gore level of Hellraiser, I'd still recommend watching Nightbreed... it's actually more of a fantasy movie with horror overtones, and overall it's not as much "gory" as it is "freaky" (although there are a couple of really gross scenes in it
).As for David Lynch, he's more of a weird psychological thriller guy; his stuff isn't really "horror", per se. The movies Eraserhead, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me are like abstract art, but whether you understand them or not, the imagery will freak you out.
I agree with J-Dub... you're a wuss.
Wes Craven movies are like the "cotton candy" of horror, which is why I don't really get into them myself.Swingers is awesome as hell, but I'm more of a Jon Favreau fan than a Vince Vaughn fan. Speaking of whom, The Big Empty is one of the unsung works of art in independent cinema.

LOVED Logan's Run... one of the few classic sci-fi films that I really got into... it's such a "human" story.

I must be odd...so many of the movies already listed here are among my favorites (esp. Star Wars). What I just do NOT get is the point of "chick flicks". I have enough drama in my life as it is - why would I want to subject myself to more ON PURPOSE? Give me action and/or gore any day, but dear GOD no chick flicks.
