What are your top 5 movies to watch when you are buzzed?
In no particular order..

1) Cops and Robbers (1973) when I get homesick for old NYC and its funny too.

2) Colossus:The Forbin Project (1970) Predated the Matrix and Terminator films

3) Resident Evil (2002) Kick Ass Action/Horror flick

4) Vanilla Sky (2001) Everytime I watch it I notice something new and not to mention it has Penelope Cruz!

5) Hannah and Her sisters (1986) One of his best films and more great shots of NYC.

28. Great minds think alike.
I don't think I'm married to you unless you're married to a 50 yr old uppity woman. In which case it might be me. That explains why I'm so tired all the time, I'm leading a double life. Naw, I just like weird movies and the muppets.

Jim Henson must've been quite something. I like it when people can do what makes them happy and hurts no one, even if it isn't considered standard in our culture.

Seen it 3 times already.

Love The Dolphin Song.

Sam Rockwell is the bomb!
And Rickman as Marvin is too cool.

Even their website is good:

11. Saw "open your eyes" a few years back
Great movie.The director said that after seeing the remake he thought that both films were like "brothers" I tend to agree.

21. Oops, I missed it!
In college, I watched TRON over and over and over... it was my favorite movie to watch when I was utterly stoned. I became with the movie, and thus one with the computers. Mind you, I was an EE, studying mostly computers, so I had a certain geek-level of attraction to it.
