Requiem for a Dream was an awesome movie. i guess you had to be into the drug thing at some point in your life to really understand it though. magik5 should like it, cause he used to suck dick for weed.

Kill Bill
Apocalypse Now The Mist The Princess Bride The Thing Twelve Monkeys Beetlejuice Evil Dead 2 Ahh some ones I would have added if I'd thought of them - it's good to see someone that Raile put the mist down, since I've barely seen anyone that even knows of that film - I remember reading the book years ago and thinking it would make a good film. Can't believe I forgot 12 monkeys  Now.. Dead Man Shoes: I personally can't stand this film. More accurately I think the film itself is distinctly meh (even with a low budget) - the plot is predicatble and dawdles along with nothing to set itself above other films. The reason I hate it though is because friends round here seem to think it's an epic film, but I have suspicions thas because it's deemed cool to think its an epic film rather than liking it on its own merits. Apart from being a sad computer nerd, I'm also a book/film nerd - having spent a few years working in a cinema as a student. As for blade runner, that was a film I got my hands on when I was a kid (which of course I was too young for) and thought it was incredibly cool. To be fair a lot depends on when you see a film - Halloween for example was a groundbreaking movie, however if someone thats seen all the films influenced by it saw it now it wouldn't be as impressive to them

lord of the rings was a good movie as far as fx go. and UNDERWORLD(both and hopefully the third also) was freakin awesome. might be because of the chick though, not sure.

monkey, what is Dead Man Shoes? your comment made it seem, atleast to me, like it was on my list.. which it wasn't? did I miss something?
and yeah the Mist was fucking awesome. Up until the last 30 second of the movie which was absolutely horrible. I sometimes think I shouldn't include it in my list of good movies, but the rest of the film is so good, I usually try to get over the last 30 seconds. And when I say 30 seconds, most people think I mean the entire ending bit, but I don't. It's probably more like the last 10 seconds. I don't want to explain it tho it's hardcore spoilers! Lord of the Rings was only good for the FX?? hmm didn't think the third one was as good as the first two, but damn, only the FX? damn. also, underworld was not very good. It was kinda like AVP. Two cool characters to put together in a film, yet done very, very poorly. the sequel was piss-aweful and in fact didn't even properly follow the plot of the first. how bad is that. the second sequel quite possibly will be direct to dvd. I am still on my thoughts that Fido's movie collection should be burned. |

oh and i agree about when you see a movie does make a big difference on how you look at it. it can be hard to see a movie for the first time, that came out 20 years ago, and take it for what it was at the time. i'm quite surprised noone commented on Pee-wee's Big Adventure. First film ever, and classic Tim Burton! Watch it for the first time today though and you'd probably be like WTF?

I am still on my thoughts that Fido's movie collection should be burned. i liked all three lord of the rings. especially the battle scenes. but, most people did not like the plot. and underworld is still awesome to me, but its just ur personal opinion on what makes a movie good. i like movies with good visuals, and that chick in underworld gives me a good visual.  . and i also enjoyed tropic thunder, espacially the part at the beginning where ben stiller was holding the dead guys head and then kicks it. lol. i guess u would need a sense of humor for that movie though, which most people are lacking. i thought rdj's role was very funny. made me lmao every time he said something.

I thought you were pretty young.. when have you even had a chance to be a drug addict?? my guess is that you have never had any serious dealings with drugs. Maybe I'm wrong. I have most definitely had serious experience with drugs including many of my friends becoming drug addicts and even watching a friend over-dose and die in front of me. None of that experience made me change my beliefs to Requiem being a good movie..................  (and I love Aronofsky!)
