recommendations, anyone?

[mksnowboarder]

Pi and The Machinist are some sick, crazy movies.

As for hoboing/train films, Emperor of the North and Sullivan's Travels are pretty much all I've seen, and found them both enjoyable for such old movies (70's and 40's respectively IIRC).

I'm too twacked to think of more, but I'll be back.

There is a documentary called "Unrepentant" on Google videos that I highly recommend.

As for movies in general, some of my faves are: In Bruge, Hurt Locker, Seven, Reservoir Dogs, Funny Games (WATCH THIS! Fucking crazy ass thriller), The Assassination of Jesse James, The Proposition, Fargo, Taxi Driver, Miller's Crossing, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train (documentary about Howard Zinn), Teeth (woman with teeth in her vagina), American Beauty.

[PFAT]

A couple off the top of my head...

Me and You and Everyone We Know- Really weird movie sort of without a plot but there are no social expectations and it's awesome.

Tank Girl- Duh.

The Chumscrubber- Shows hoe imperfect suburbia is.

Choke- About a nympho. Writtin by palgusdkfajsdg or the guy who wrote fight club.

Science of Sleep- Some guys dream world and reality are backwards... sort of. I love Gael Garcia Bernal... which brings me to

Motorcycle Diaries- About Che sort of.

Sunshine Cleaning- Sort of sad. Sisters need $ so they start cleaning up after murders.

[tagvolatile]

"Fulltime killer"-japanese hitman story, good movie.

 

[tallhorseman]

I'm a real fan of movies directed by Kevin Smith. Clerks, Clerks II, etc...Jay and Silent Bob...two thumbs up. Seven Pounds, with Will Smith, was a good, recent Drama. 50 First Dates is still my favorite RoCom. Skin Deep, with John Ritter, was hilarious, It's a classic, so I don't know if it can still be found. National Lampoons Van Wilder...nothing funnier than masturbating a bulldog. Get Smart...when 86 shot himself up with little crossbow darts I almost pissed myself. 300 is still my favorite action flick. Red Dragon, and Silence of the Lambs were great, but I always hoped the bad guy would win, somethink I would never tell a psychiatrist.

 

[oldmanLee]

well,three of my favorites are:
"Fried Green Tomatoes"(the secret's in the sauce,LOL!)
"Threads"(1985,don't watch it if you are depressed,you'll chew thru your own wrists)
"Blazing Saddles"(as a friend of mine said,and she happens to be black"They couldn't make that film now,and everybody loves it!")
But the film that has shaped so much of what goes on inside my head deserves special mention:"The Good,the Bad,and the Ugly".Tuco the Rat,my hero!And he did all his own stunts at the adge of 49!

 

[CanoeTramp]

Two favorite foreign films, House of Fools -Russian , A dark comedy about psychiatric patients and combatatants during the first Chechen war. The main character Zhanna a young schizophrenic woman who believes Brian Adams is her fiance. Mediterraneo - Italian, A small group of Italian marines end up stranded on a greek island for the duration of WWII .

 

[Pickles]

A Scanner Darkly, City of Lost Children, Full Metal Jacket, The Graduate, Billy Elliott, Rosemary's Baby, Lost in Translation, The Departed, The Prestige, Ed Wood, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Dear Frankie, Amelie, Delicatessen.

All interesting in my opinion.

Oh, and Vodka Lemon, an interesting Russian film.
