give me a good movie to rent! cause i'm in the mood.
 

yeah i'm sitting here at the library doing nothing and they have like every movie ever here, even some that i was surprised about. anyways i haven't seen a movie in a long long time and i am in the mood. i was thinking about seeing the movie tommy but it's a musical and i am not too fond of musicals. so give me advice cause usually i you guys always have good choices.:D

Porn Laila.It can't bore you for too long.

no i'm not really in the mood. any other suggestions?

Wicker Man!

hey arent' they making a remake of that? i thought i saw a preview for it in when i went to see the omen! i dont' remember if it had the name but the plot was very similar. and nick cage is in it. yeah i think it is the same movie.

What are you in the mood for, comedy, drama, romance? Plus I don't know what you've seen and what you haven't.

eh something that will screw with my mind. no comedy though or romance either.

oh i just found the wall here. is that good? i heard that it is hard to understand

The Usual Suspects

rent Pi

oh i've seen it. good movie though

Wicker Man remake looks like it's gonna be absolutely awful.

Go with Tetsuo: The Iron Man and prepare to be mindfucked.

haha i take it youre not a fan of nick cage?

It will be,how could it not.The soundtrack to this cool movie is a very good one.

The Wall is one big music video for the whole album. Yeah it has its moments that are pretty cool, but is neither a muscial nor a movie movie.

If you want something to screw with your mind, I highly recommend David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. A beautiful film and one that makes you think!

Eraserhead

I rented tetsuo II : Iron Man the other day, havent watched it yet


I second mulholland drive or eraserhead. I'd go for mulholland drive if you havent seen any lynch movies before, it's got a bit more conventially comprehensable parts to it than eraserhead

any takeshi miike film also. Happiness of the Katakuris is weird but not gruesome, audition is weird and a bit gruesome (for some people), dead or alive has a really unusual ending, gozu is really good but a bit unusual

although not a movie, the prisoner is fantastic if you can find that

Any harmony korine film : gummo, julian donkey boy, ken park, kids

I haven't seen the sequel but supposedly it really sucks compared to original.

I still need to see Mulholland Drive. Looks mega-ace.

I don't know if it is available where you live but do try to rent 'After life'.It is one of the most beautiful,intelligent,insightful and welcome japanese movies that i have seen in years.

Sounds like a film Kurosawa would have done.

If you are not squeamish,try this:

Nick Cave's The Proposition, but I don't think they're renting it yet. If you wanna see an old movie, 12 angry men, the Seven Samurai, or inherit the wind are my faves. Or Batman Begins!
After Life is recommended too ;D

rent bob roberts. laugh and be scared at the same time.

I don't mind him so much; it's the treatment and setting they are giving it that is gonna be the problem. They should not fuck with this movie.

hey laila! rent this movie if you haven't already seen it.

PCU. one of the best movies ever

the wall is cool. make sure you watch the diectors commentary first so you know what the hell is going on

Not a movie but you should watch it and laugh out loud:

My favourite film.



But since you've seen it, LAila, I would heartily recommend this Icelandic masterpiece.

you should get Willard. It's nicely done. Also Mirrormask is great, and the music in it is awesome.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly. I saw this for the first time over the weekend and quite enjoyed it.

Im far behind on Clint stuff.

Me and You and Everyone We Know
Rushmore or Royal Tennenbaums
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
12 Monkeys
Dr. Strangelove
Psycho- the original

Rhys- I was going to recommend that at the same time! I decided that she might not like it though because it is very much made for guys. You gotta see High Plains Drifter man, that is another good one.

Blondie, you son of a bWHA-AH-WAHAHWAH!!!!!!!!


this is a good movie, you need to watch it at least twice to really begin to understand it though

Some libraries have outstanding film collections.

The gone underground, hard to find pseudo-documentary and excellent film Punishment Park (1971) is one of the sheer beauties I managed to locate in one.

Go with this, and disappointment will not be yours.

I would say, Laila, "the War Within". it's fantastic. the subject matter is a little heavy, but it deals with a Pakistani engineer who gets abducted by the American's, then later joins a terrorist group and decides he wants to blow himself up at Grand Central Station, NYC. the movie is basically his struggle with his conscience. Excellent film. 10/10..

basket case-best horror film ever or anything directed by dario argento

most university libraries have
Home of the Brave: A Film by Laurie Anderson (1986)
or
Laurie Anderson: Collected Videos (1990) (V)
on vhs...
check one out

it features guitar by Adrian Belew & a cameo by William S. Burroughs even.

so that's my musical choice;

my action pic choice of the too seldom seen is
Year of the Dragon (1985)
by Michael Cimino starring Mickey Rourke & the mesmerizing John Lone as one of film's best villians
or
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) featuring the great Robert Mitchum in his twilight years
or
Dog Day Afternoon (1975) which showcases the best performance of Al Pacino's career.


My comedy picks are Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)
&
Stakeout (1987).

The above two have a little of both action & comedy (& some drama too); if that is what you are really looking for, then it's tough to beat
Midnight Run (1988)
or
Woody Allen's
Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989).

for a dramatic thriller, Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) is a goodie.
for a drama about music watch Bird (1988) (Charlie Parker) directed by Clint Eastwood & starring Forest Whitaker
or
Lady Sings the Blues (1972) about Billie Holiday; Sidney Furie's direction isn't spectacular, but Diana Ross & Richard Pryor are sublime.
&
for more true stories, it's
Frances (1982),
Chaplin (1992)
or Lynch's marvelous
The Elephant Man (1980).

I'm assuming in all of this of course that you've already seen most Kubrick, Coen Bros., early Scorcese, Lynch's Blue Velvet, Hitchcock's Psycho, Cimino's The Deer Hunter & Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.
