Zenith Wrote:ok, we need a movie run down...where's our resident movie guru? I haven't a damn thing to do this weekend. Any suggestions ::bigg::Zenith - I watched Prom Night last night and posted about it in another thread. Don't waste your time at all. I will post more for you if you want, but here are my top movies that might give you some ideas of movies to rent if you have not seen them.
In no order or ranking - these are some of my good one recommendations:
Shawshank Redemption - one of the best ever
Usual Suspects - also top notch. Kiser Sose!
Se7en - gritty, dark, violent. the movie that started all the recent copy cat movies that look and feel the same
Goodfellas - just a great mob flick
Godfather 1 and 2 (not 3!) - the greatest mob flicks and always watchable and classic
Fight Club - fucking great movie
Pan's Labyrinth - great flick. perfectly violent and fantasy. is subtitled but TOTALLY worth it.
Transformers - for great mindless action - the recent movie has effects, action, humor. good "brain candy"
Batman Begins (can rent) and The Dark Knight (still at theaters but you can find to watch online) - 2 great dark superhero movies
Apocalypse Now - all time classic decent into hell.
The Descent - recent well done horror flick
Pulp Fiction - always good with endless classic scenes and lines.
Saving Private Ryan - one of the best war movies ever. Great acting ALL around.
Reservoir Dogs - fucking amazing crime movie
Blade Runner - best sci fi movie of all time.
I don't agree with all on this list, but there are a lot of good movies here and t is a good resource - http://www.nytimes.com/ref/movies/1000best.html
