Man on wire is a cool documentary. A man walks a high wire across the top of the world trade center buildings in New york back in the 70's.

Hello there!
I just seen a really well done movie about a homeless couple the other night!
Danny Glover and Matt Dillon are the two homeless persons in this movie too!
It's called, ....."The Saint of Fort Washington".
It's a 1993 film and it follows the two as they become very good friends as they have plans to get an apartment together after they save up enough money by cleaning windshields! lol! It shows Danny Glover as a stern, but gentle homeless man who's been homeless for a very long time. Matt Dillon is a greenhorn to the homeless scene and Danny Glover teaches him how to hussle by cleaning windshields & spange in downtown New York City where these two are homeless.
They often stay at a mission/shelter and this movie is quite a good movie if you enjoy seeing the homeless lifestyles and what Hollywood thinks about homelessness! lol!
(Over all, it really is quite a great movie to sit down and enjoy)!
I hope that you enjoy it..................

Damn, "Arrow"!!!
I "JUST" seen "Persepolis" the night-before-last!!! Ha ha!
(Quite ironic eh)???! lol!!!

Persepolis (animated story about a girl that grew up in the late 70's in Iran)

Legend (shut up boys, it's a cheesy girl thing, lol)

Akira, Fist of the North star (kid's idea, ugh)

Suburbia (the original)

Blood in Blood out (gang flick about Mexican gangbangers and prison, not my norm, but great flick)

Anything directed by Del TOro

Decline of the Western Civilization (punkumentary, wiht a soundtrack to make us real old skoolers cry)

I just saw Twilight,(LAME LAME LAME...probably a better read, if I were about 14, lol, But a lot of it was filmed in Oregon)

ALL of the SAW movies.

 

[tumtum]

hehe suburbia., love that movie. and i saw dark days up there too, thats a really good doc. and persepolis, i never saw the whole thing but what i saw was really cool.
howabout..
the goonies
the bridge (golden gate jumpers doc)
squid and the whale
life aquatic
stand by me
28 weeks later
band of brothers

oh if anyone hasnt seen the trailer for where the wild things are, watch it!
ill be camping out in front of the theater to see this one!

 

[gangleri]

i'll second innocent voices, ctd.

also:

city of lost children
a very long engagement
the gold rush
the great dictator (or just any chaplin really)
any of the films of harold lloyd (some good anti-cop clowning in there)

these are the better films i've seen of late. the first two are jean-pierre jeunet, the fellow who made amelie and delicatessen. i think these two are his better films.

Six String Samari is my favorite movie. It's a metaphorical film about the direction of rock and roll. The hero is supposed to be Buddy Holly, and the villian is Slash from GNR.

Also, I just watched Dark Days the other night and it was really interested. It's a documentary on NYC's "mole people".

 

[ianfernite]

Anything made or released by Troma. Terrible, hilarious slashers.
Anything by David Lynch.
Waking Life ... interesting 'stream of conscious' rotoscoped film about lucid dreaming, astral projection, existentialism, nihilism, etc.
A Scanner Darkly ... also rotoscoped, science fiction, about drugs. Based (and true to) the Philip K. Dick book.
Tremors! The whole series is hilarious and great.
Tank Girl.
Star Wars.

 

[connerR]

Falling Down
Garden State
Ghost World
The Big Lebowski
Atonement

V for Vendetta

fuckin, Trainspotting is a foreign film that follows a few herion addicts and it's amazing, weird, interesting and seriously compelling! And it's quite funny. C Heck it out, I got it from my local library. I bet it's on youtube as well.

In fact:

I heart huckabees is amazing as well. it's about the idea of existentialism.
