[charlie and algernon]

11. yeah, very sad

one of the few required reading books i really liked in HS.

[Arkham House]

2. Chinatown, Schindler's List, Touch of Evil...

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

6. I was just talking to a friend named Schindler today about how I never

saw that movie. I think I might have to look.

3. Empire of the Sun

I never tire of it, and I get more out of it every time I see it.

4. Blue Velvet.

20th anniversary edition just came out, I do believe.

[Mutley]

7. Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

:evilgrin:

[Broken_Hero]

8. The Boondock Saints...:) nt

[Katina]

[achtung_circus]

9. To Kill a Mockingbird

The Philadelphia Story

In the Heat of the Night.

Detect a trend?

[Skittles]

10. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

good from start to finish

[JohnKleeb]

12. The Great Escape

An oldie but a goodie or if you want a comedy, Old School.

[begin_within]

13. "Au Hasard, Balthazar." "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" "El Norte." Psycho

[radwriter0555]

14. I'm digging "The Libertine" right now.. and "Casanova". They're completely

different, but are both excellent in their own rights and very entertaining.

Libertine is very dark, morbid, cruel and brilliant. Depp is at his absolute finest, an Oscar worthy performance that will barely see the light of day.

Casanova is sweet, humorous, fun, witty, charming, adorable and enjoyable.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Mulholland Drive

[krispos42]

16. The Hunt for Red October

Seen it a million times, but each time it's on cable or pay channel I wind up watching it.

Ditto for "Die Hard".

I also saw "Grandma's Boy" today and laughed myself off the couch!

[peekaloo]

17. Ghost World

:-)

[taterguy]

18. Junebug

It scored a perfect zero on my very scientific rating system: the number of times I wanted to sneak out of the theater and smoke a cigarette. I even went to see it in the theater a second time and bought the DVD

[Tyler Durden]

19. Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

A WWII film/romance Chick Flick? Scratches both of my itches, but then I am accepted to be rather odd.

[wildhorses]

21. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover

Body Heat, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Almost Famous, O Brother Where Art Thou....

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

22. Donnie Darko or Oldboy (nt)

[El Fuego]

23. "An Inconvenient Truth"

More riveting than most of the crap in the theaters.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

24. Already seen it. And while important, not entertaining at all

it was a documentary though, so what do you expect

[El Fuego]

26. I thought it was entertaining.

[Fox Mulder]

25. Is there a particular genre you're interested in?

:shrug:

Or just any ol' movie?
