Recommend a movie...
« on: June 06, 2004, 10:11:43 PM »
Alright - here is the deal, recommend a movie, post why you should watch the movie and only serious posts. None of this watch \'Glitter\' becaus it sucks posts..You know what I\'m talking about..



(1) Hero  - It still has not made it to American Shores, but if you are resourceful you can find the DVD for sell online. Great flick , much better than \'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\', which I felt was overrated.

(2) Lady Snowblood - If you remotely liked \'Kill Bill\', then check this film out. It is painfully obvious that this film inspired Tarintino\'s current hit. Animego recently just put out a great Region 0 release of this.

(3) Kung Pow: Enter the Fist - Great comedy. Silly, stupid and a blast.

(4) Fear and Loathing: In Las Vegas - A damn classic. Check out the Criteion DVD of it.

(5) RAN - There is a lot of talk about Kurosawa on this board, but it is usually about his films such as \'Yojimbo\', but I personally thinkg RAN is one of his finest films, that I have seen. I still need to check out \'Throne of Blood\' though.

(6) Last House on the Left - Wes Craven would become known for the \'Nightmare on Elm Street\', but I personally think this film is his finest work. However, it is only of interest if you like explotation films.

(7) Zatoichi - The original one. It\'s a slow film, but it sets the pace for one ot he longest running franchises .

(8) Zatoichi (2003) - The newest entry isn\'t perfect, but it is still worth a watch and can be found on DVD.


If the thread gets enough legit posts, I\'ll dig some more up and I\'m sure Capcom can dig in his massive collection and recommend some also.

Great Australian movie. May not be for everyone, but it\'s definately worth a watch. As long as you can get past all the 80\'s Australianism.

Eric Bana in his first dramatic role (and his only decent one) is amazing. He once claimed (due to his comedic background) that he can\'t act, but he can certainly impersonate. Which he does wonderfully in this film. His character is so real, intriguing and entertaining, not to mention truely bizarre. If you can get your hands on it, it\'s well worth it.

Fight Club--Good movie all the way around
Blow--One of Johnny Depp\'s best roles(fear and loathing is another good one)
Very Bad Things--I don\'t know what it is but I like this movie, it\'s dark and stuff.
Usual Suspects--A mind blowing "kick in the ass" movie(if you\'ve seen it, the ending is good)

I think the idea of the thread is to recommend movies that most of us haven\'t seen already.

I think The Usual Suspects is aired on commercial television every second Friday night.. or something. It\'s either that, or Stripes.

Not too many of my friends know about the movie so that\'s why I posted it and ya you are right it\'s usually on Spike Tv or something but it\'s edited tho\' I don\'t think you miss much.  I\'ve also seen SLC Punk--not too bad.

They showed a trailer for it before Kill Bill 2... I went looking for the dvd after, but I decided I wanted to see it at the movies.


Here\'s mine: Iron Monkey, Twin Warriors, The Legend, other Jet Li films.. I dig the "fake flying around" kinda kung fu movie, and all of these fit that type of genre.

oh and Shaolin Soccer! :)

If you haven\'t seen it. then GET.

To End all Wars

Very powerful WW2 film about the prisoners at a Japanese POW camp.


with Robert Carlye & Kiefer Sutherland.

Its based on the true accounts of Captian Ernest Gordon who was captured by the japanese and forced to build the "rail way of death" through the jungles of burma and siam.

I challange anyone to watch this film and NOT be moved by the film...

Why Scott?

Because its a film you never get tired of no matter how many times you watch it.

Now Scott - JOIN AND RECOMMEND PULP FICTION!

Almost any movie starring any combination of Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Yuen Wah, and Jackie Chan, with their stunt teams...

My Lucky Stars
Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars
Dragons Forever
Wheels on Meals
Project A
Eastern Condors

All with top notch action and starring 2, 3, or even all 4 of the above mentioned actors...

Movies with just one brother but recommended are:

Police Story 1 & 2 - Jackie Chan
Pedicab Driver - Sammo Hung
Project A-2 - Jackie Chan
Once Upon A Time In China - Yuen Biao

OUATIC stars Jet Li as well so you can\'t go wrong with that one...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
