Old or new, suggestions? I just need to stop rewatching the same stuff that I already know is good because I hate sitting down to a movie and realizing it sucks twenty minutes in.

5th Sense. Came out around the same time ID4 did and to this day I still haven't figured out how ID4 was a box office smash and 5th Sense was ignored.

Depends on what you're looking for. What's your preferred range?

I'm personally a fan of European stuff, classics really; but considering my favorite genre hovers somewhere between German historical dramas and Tarkovsky, I'd say I'm certainly not in a very popular range

On second thought, I should probably join the original thread request and watch things carefully. I'm so under-watched in a lot of the more popular American/English/Asian stuff recently, it's not even funny.

Some of my Top movies

- Requiem for a Dream

- Pi (both by Darren Arronofsky)

- Kung Fu Hustle or better yet Shaun of The Dead for some comedy

- Most Tim burton stuff... but Big Fish often gets looked over... good old fashioned Fairy Tale with a burton Twist. Mars attacks was always great.

Akira Kurosawa stuff, especially some of the old stuff was amazing. Yojimba, 7 Samurai,

Falling Down. love it.

ohh Thank you for smoking ... a very intelligent comedy... you don't see those much anymore. Makes me sad.

Classic Mel brooks films like Blazing saddles Young Dr. Frankenstein Space balls Men in tights.

Thats all i can think of for now, I'll be lurking this thread though I'm always looking for more cool movies to watch.
