Carradine and Hopper? I'm there.

Other than Avatar, the last movie I saw that completely blew me away was Inglourious Basterds. Landa (Waltz) was such an amazing villain. I can't wait for the prequel.

Also, one movie everyone on this board must see is American Movie. It's the Spinal Tap of filmmaking. It's also one of the most quotable movies outside of Monty Python and Austin Powers.

Plus, they talk quite a bit about metal, and "Fight Fire With Fire" and Ozzy's "Dee" plays throughout much of the movie.

It's one of the greatest documentaries ever made IMO. When I first saw it, I thought it was a mockumentary beause Mike and Mark seem so much like characters you can't imagine this is how they are ALL THE TIME.

Anyways, go see it.

The best documentry is Hoop Dreams. Movie critics were calling it the best movie of 1994.

It was a very good movie, but I wouldn't say it topped Shawshank.

American Movie is still a brilliant film.

Of course IB it's one of the best movies in the last ten years hands up. But again being such a brilliant fim the best idea is NOT to do any prequel, sequel, remake, reboot or anything except maybe transfer it to Blu-Ray.

So if you're a Tarantino fan (like me) a must have (as DVD. Blu-Ray or whatever) is "Kill Bill 1 & 2".

Some more movies worth seeing:

"Dead/Alive"
"Charade"
"Some Like It Hot"
"The Thing" (Carpenter's version)
"Alien" (Ridley Scott's of course)
"Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"
"The Wild Bunch"

"Women In Trouble"

Don't know you guys, but in a way this movie was written for people like me.

At least the part discussing drummers by the flight attendants is made or OS people.

Gonna put it among my favorite disfunctional characters indies including "Auto Focus", "Secretary" and "The Royal Tenenbaums". And I'm looking forward for the sequel (2010) "Electra Luxx"

Anyone seen the silent film Metropolis? It was the Avatar of its day. One of my all-time favorites.



Also, you can't beat Trip to the Moon. Melies was so brilliant for his time.

The best part about silent film is you can crank tunes while you watch

You can also do it with movies with subtitles...an advantage of living in a non-English speaking country

"Phantom Of The Opera"
"The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari" (fucking awsome movie )

"The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari" (fucking awsome movie )

Only seen about 25 minutes of it, but yeah, it was great from what I saw. Have you seen the movie "M"? Along with Metropolis, that movie is a masterpiece of its time.
