    Hmmmm....

    Donnie Darko is cool.
    I like almost all of David Lynch's movies. Lost Highway, Mullholland Drive, etc...
    Gummo is indeed cool. Better than Kidz, because it is more bizzare/funny.
    Napoleon Dynamite is incredibly fucking funny.
    City of Lost Children is pretty cool visually.
    John Woo's "The Killer" is cool for the gunfights. The rest sucks.
    Interview with the Vampire is cool to watch sometimes.
    Thin Red Line is cool for a war movie. Very poetic. Interesting movie.
    Amelie.
    Seven.

    I like Requiem For A Dream, but I do not know if I would watch it over and over.

    I did not like Ichi the Killer as much as some other people did.
    It had some cool characters, and some cool visuals, but I did not think
    it had the best story. It was ok. Glad I saw it, but I wouldn't own it...

    Has anyone else seen "This is Spinal Tap"? It's the greatest mockumentary ever, I think...

    Spinal tap has so many layers of humor.
    Unless you get the subtle humor, it is not as funny.
    But if you get some of the hidden jokes, it is really great.

    Example: There is one scene where they are all talking about something.
    There is a groupie with the bassist. She has a sore on her mouth.
    Then, later in the movie, you see that the bassist has some sores
    on his mouth. Then, even later, they all have them. But it is never
    really mentioned. The joke is just there for you, if you notice it...

    Amores Perros
    Y tu mamá también
    Nicotina
    Hable con ella
    El crimen del Padre Amaro

    I like classics more than anything:

    Network (1976)
    Sunset Boulevard (1950)
    The Graduate (1967)
    Shock Corridor (1963)
    Night of the Hunter (1955)
    Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
    Yojimbo (1961)
    The Omen (1976)
    Carrie (1976)
    Chinatown (1974)
    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966?)

    and more recently:

    City of God
    The Devil's Advocate
    Unforgiven
    The Chocolate War
    Heat
    Go
    SLC Punk

    City of God is a really cool foreign language film.
    If you don't mind the subtitles, it's pretty damn good.

    Skip Hot Rod. I thought the reviewers were exaggerating because I usually love Andy Samberg's stuff. They were not exaggerating.

    I think Gregg Araki is great, although I felt Doom Generation could have stopped about 7 minutes earlier and been more awesome.

    Back from the dead, it seems.

    Of recent releases, No Country For Old Men was great. If you're a Cohen Bros fan (esp of Fargo), you will probably really dig this.

    Other flicks I highly recommend:

    - The Great Happiness Space, a great doc about male escorts in Japan

    - Lollilove, a fun little mockumentary by Jenna Fischer

    - Shadow Company, a doc about military contractors ("mercenaries") in Iraq

    - The Devil's Rejects, one of my fav horror movies ever

    - Where The Truth Lies, a pretty interesting take on suspense/mystery

    - Wet Hot American Summer, a fabulous spoof on 80s summer camp movies.

    - The Thing. *This* is my favorite horror movie ever. An absolute masterpiece of isolation, fear, and suspicion. Even exceeds the original Alien, imho.

    The Thing and The Devils Rejects in the same list? eclectic at best!

    i thought The Devils Rejects was shite personally although i got a good laugh imagining rob coming up with the great idea of a slow-mo scene at the very end of the movie with lynyrd skynyrd playing.

    Understandable. I think it's a "love it or hate it" film, and I'm not sure it's great from a story standpoint, but I just love the characters and the aesthetic of the film.

    Blood Diamond and The Departed. leonardo dicaprio is suddenly badass!
    not really sure if it/they count as movies, but if you can check out the Masters Of Horror series. every film (1 hr each) is messed up in so many ways, and of the ones ive seen so far (the first 12) ive only not like 1. and if you can only catch one of them, make it 'Cigarette Burns.' adn in case i havent linked to HIT enough, here's the head injury theater quick review of the first MoH box set.

    ha, deathproof is awesome, but i was really disappointed that it didnt get released as the original grindhouse idea here in ausralia. they advertised grindhouse, then it jsut disapperaed off the grids (ut not until after i was ta excited). a while later, when i had given up hope, death proof comes out (and rocks) but still no trace of planet terror

    There's alot of movies on here that I love: (Evil Dead Trilogy, Fear and Loathing, and a million others), But let's not forget:

    Kevin Smith/Jersey Chronicals-- He writes a good flick, and Clerks 2 was probably the funniest movie I have ever seen,

    The Spaghetti Westerns-- Clint Eastwood is Badass with a capitol 'B'.

    The Big Lebowski, and naturally, Jaws, which I think is probably the greatest film ever made.

    Oh, and Alfred Hitchcock is the man.
