yay

too bad i live downriver lol

[crunchy_pickle (5)]

Idiocracy.

Despite only seeing this recently, it made me so fearful for our species that I felt the necessity to hurry up and act before things get any worse.

This movie was life changing, and all it did was reassure me that I was doing all the right things in the first place.

[Hellion]

The movie "Shockwaves"its about Nazi Zombies,done in the mid 70s

[Hellion]

The movie, Death Ship was also good

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Pee Wee lives!!

I'll have to hold off on this thread for awhile since suggesting movies is like suggesting movies or books is, for me being the film and novel buff-snob is like suggesting which of my children (if i had any) I'd recommend. I will have to do it when i have more mental focus. Although there is plenty o stuff in my profile.

More obscure stuff that dont get much respect and are rarely listed on these types of lists online that i usually throw out off the top of my head:

All About Eve

Annie Hall

The Day The Earth Stood Still

Conspiracy

Chicago

Gattaca

Hollywood Boulevard

Marty

West Side Story

Defiantly not my "real" list, just some random rarely-listed stuff i think should get more respect.

[EnViOuSPoPpEt]

The Perfect Stranger(At the moment), but far left me with my jaw droped it was the greatest...

[SuZQZ]

Another one that blew my mind was Usual Suspects. Like Identity, I didn't see that ending coming. I love good twists and turns in a plot.

[Ice Queen (1)]

A few that haven't been mentioned yet;

The Handmaid's Tale

Mystery of Rampo

The Butterfly Effect

Nightbreed

these definitely stimulated my brain

I really enjoyed The Butterfly Effect, but i seem to get backhanded every time i mentioned it due to (i think) some sort of widespread hatred for Ashton Kutcher (or assumption that anything he's in must be dumb as hell).

I guess you won't be the only one getting backhanded anymore

That's kind of funny. There are a few actors that if they are in something, I am reluctant to see it, hoping they won't ruin it for me. I really had not seen much of Mr. Kutcher's work, so it made no difference to me. It looked like an interesting movie, so I saw it, thankfully. It had a great story, twists, an an ending I did not see coming.

[Slept with ghost]

I am way to uptight to say that any movie has ever blowen my mind in a good way. On the other hand though I can name more then enough movies that blew my mind with how horrible they are.
