I was just wondering what sort of films you guys are into (other than the Matrix Trilogy). One of my favourites is Donnie Darko, such an amazing film, especially those of you who are going through adolescence and/or are searching for God or somthing to believe in. Truely fantastic.
If you like that film then another I recommend is Butterfly Effect, another excellent film that gives an alternative to life. It features the actor who plays Kelsow in That 70's Show (don't know his name). He really surprised me in that film with his acting, especially after watching Dude, Where's my car? It all about how every action has a massive effect on the world around you.
Moving on from that sort of film Genre I have to say that Pulp Fiction was a fantastic piece of work. The whole story line and the way it's layed out. IMO Tarrentinos best.
Last night I watched a film called Man of the Year. It's based in brazil and it's all spoken in Portugese (one hell of a strange language). The storyline is about a man who kills a notourious bastard and as a consequence becomes famous to his village people. Another really good film.
Feel free to add your thoughts.

Kill Bill is hands down my favorite movie right now. Such an amazing display of cinematography and character development in an amazing form of storytelling.
-
I'd say that right now Kill Bill is probably mine too but Dogma ranks pretty high up there also.
-
I have to say I did really enjoy watching them both, they were both excellent films. Tarrentino love to put lots of random gore in his films doesn't he? Like in Pulp Fiction when Samuel L blows Marvins brains all over the back of the car. Heh
-
Oh yea, Dogma.. That film was fricking awesome, haha Rufus the 13th desciple.
-
I would have to say snatch was my altimer. Hahahahaha.

Wow, that's a lot of movies between all of you, most of them great films. I love movies that make you think about life, while entertaining with cool story and actors, with the occassional action.

The Last Samurai
Pulp Fiction
Big Fish
Man on Fire
The Matrix
Fight Club
Kill Bill
Snatch
LotR Trilogy
Memento
Saving Private Ryan
Lost in Translation

I love Tarantino. I'm obessed with all of his older movies. Haven't seen the Kill Bills. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Natural Born Killers are probably my favourite from him.
Others I like are the Last Samurai, LotR trilogy, Star Wars, Fight Club, Snatch, Gladiator, Troy, Master and Commander, Desperado, From Dusk Til Dawn (first only) and so many more I cant think of right now.

Well as long as we're going international, I'm also really into Mexican films, but only the quality one's, not the one's they show on Sunday afternoon on the local Spanish channel. Among these are...
Amores Perros
El Pecado de Padre Amaro
El Arte de Morir
Y Tu Mama Tambien
-
lol mexican channel surfing is awesome, even though i dont understand half of it, theres always beautiful spanish honies all over that channel, ALWAYS!!!!
Zink
-
Thats a pretty cool gift. Be sure to rent every movie we have listed eh, Eclipse?
-
Amores Perros was such a beautiful movie! It made me cry. Y Tu Mama Tambien was too deep for me, I think. And I'm fond of Disney endings, aside.
-
I cant belive no one posted Full Metal Jacket, but i mostly like comedy so here goes
All Mel Brooks movies
Van Wilder
School of rock
Forest Gump
Joe Dirt
umm, well the new recruitment challenge is nagging at me so i dont want to list any more now

I didn't care much for THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. Everything that happened in that movie was simplistic and predictable. The Butterfly Effect (the scientific metaphore) is a metaphore to show that you can never know every variable to any situation, and that nothing is 100%. The movie portrayed that fine to Ashton Kutcher's character, to whom despite being a college nerd, with a knack for time travel, couldn't ever seem to get his head out of his ass and do some simple predicting.
A better movie for Chaos Theory is JURRASIC PARK, or FORREST GUMP even.
Personally, I like all sorts of movies. Some are very contraversial (much like me), others not so surprising.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy is by far the best trilogy ever filmed. I'm also a fan of the original Matrix movie, obviously not the other two if you've read any of my other posts.
I feel that anyone mature enough to see past the porn and bad acting, that SHOWGIRLS has a very well told, in depth story to be found. For that matter, ROBOCOP and STARSHIP TROOPERS are two movies by the same director that are also first class in story, if not failing in acting. But some movies are too risky for big names to put their fame on the line for.
I also like SNATCH, AMERICAN BEAUTY, and ONE HOUR PHOTO. All very great.
As far as television goes, I'm into Star Trek: DEEP SPACE NINE, but mainly 24. 24 is quite easily the best television program on right now, and the best I've ever seen.
-
You want chaos? Huh? Huh? HUH!? Read Dr. Suess's "The Cat in the Hat".
Films? Lord of the Rings 1&2 were both told well to some extent, except excluding Bombadil from the first movie killed the whole movie for me, as that was the single best part of the book. The 3rd is by far the best ending to a trilogy. Nothing can touch this movie right now. Mystic River can try, all thanks to Sean Penn's brilliance when it comes to all roles.
Starship Troopers was an excellent movie, and I wish they wouldve actually continued the story into the second movie. Oh well.
And since we have to touch on T.V. in every entertainment thread, South Park is genious to me. 24, except for this past season, is a brilliant show as well. I know many people will think im wierd, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of mt favorite shows of all time, and I actually stooped to watching Angel to find out what happens in the universe of Buffy. Boy was I dissapointed.
And no, I do not like Family Guy. I find it to be a far inferior show to Futurama, and a slightly more funny version of the Simpsons.
