ah, Hoodlum, yes, I was watching it but it got interrupted by the USC v. Notre Dame game, that's one I want to see, and plenty more to sift through, thanks

 

You've never gotten bored with a movie half-way then turned it off and switched to something else which also got you bored half-way so you turned back to the first one? Eh, happens to me all the time.

Kin-Dza-Dza (cleverly weird low-budget Russian science fiction)
Spirited Away

 

Versus was a fun movie. You could also get Tourist Trap..what a cheesy 80's horror flick.

 

Seasons 1-4 of 24.:afro:

 

would be a nice contrast to the many cheesy 70's horror flicks I've got on the list :grin:

 

I'll put in a third vote for Once upon a Time in America, but it has to be the directors cut. The original American release is terrible which is why this movie isn't better known.

Once Upon a Time in The West. Another Leone film dealing with the end of an era. It goes together with the other one.

Leaving Las Vegas - go out and get incredibly drunk and ensure you will have a massive hangover the next morning. Watch Leaving Las Vegas during said hangover... Then watch it again a few days later to appreciate just how damn good this film is.

Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid - Young Guns II was a remake of this early 70's film. As in most cases, the original is much, much better.

The Proposition...

...is simply a superb film.

Spun seems to be one of those films that everyone missed for no good reason (it might have had something to do with the naked woman tied to a bed the whole time...).

I could add more but have things to do.

 

Proposition looks nifty, it's listed as coming out next week, I'll add that one

 

/spew

i just popped falling down out of the dvd player...another movie that i watched countless times...it's one of those movies that you will either love or hate.

/end spew.

 

Ash..it would help out if you said what types of movies you like.

High Tension..or Haute Tension depending on where you are. Very good movie.
Ichi the Killer is fun.
Last House on the Left is one of the most disturbing movies I have seen. It is very similar to I Spit on your Grave..but perhaps a bit more disturbing..to me at least.

Creepshow
Maniac
The Changeling is a very good ghost movie

Quite a few movies I want to see are not available on netflix.

 

Ooooo how could I forget to mention The Princess Blade?

 

I'll try to pretend that never happened...

P.S. get any Broken Lizard movies and you'll be fine.

 

Just watched Serenity today on HBO. It was pretty good.
