Ok people listen up, I'm lookin for a good movie to watch tonight. I've go bronchitis so i really don' feel like going out or anything, so I decided to make it a blockbuster night. Hmm, I guess I should give you a list of movies I've seen that I think will get recommended a lot.

All the 80's classics. Space balls, blazing saddles, monty python, sixteen candles, breakfast club,etc.

Fahrenheit 9-11, bowling for columbine, supersize me.

The day after tomorrow (sucked so bad), the punisher, envy, Last samurai, chicago, shade, monster, maser and commander, best of will ferrel, pirates of the carribean

Al quentin tarentino's (sp?) movies

Everything that Adam sandler was in

Everything that ben stiller was in

Everything that jim carey was in

You kow what? there's a lot, just make a suggestion and I'll let you know if I've seen it. Also, if you haven't posted apost that I find entertaining, at all, then your suggestion will be ignored. thanks.

"Heat" with DeNiro and Picano. Also what Lady in Radiator said, Donnie Darko. And any David Lynch flick; "La Dolce Vita" by Fellini if you don't mind sub-titles or speak Italian. "Ginger Snaps" and "Ginger Snaps Back," "Freeway" and "Freeway 2".

You know what?

I just bookmarked this for future reference.

I've already seen about eight movies in the first few replies that I didn't even think of.

Anything with Edward Norton is good, but don't get the new version of "the Italian Job."

It's got Donald Sutherland briefly, which almost makes it worth the rent, but if you want to see that movie then watch the one with Michael Caine.

Oh, and anything with Clint Eastwood. Get Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.

Jackie-O: Well, I'm sorry.. that wasn't a very good mime, Marty. I didn't see that at all.

..and I suppose it could have been Yes from Uber. If, you know, he's into the whole incest thing. But I wouldn't think that of him.

Also, see Schindler's List.

there are always exceptions, of course
for example, Shane, which i don't actually like, has excellent character development
and the fight scenes are super cheesy, but you have to understand that they're not supposed to be realistic... they're supposed to be extravagantly heroic
the death of the mick is a great scene

haven't seen Unforgiven
i know, i know...

True Romance is a good one. Keep that in mind....

usual suspects is great as well, but often alot of people start watching it and say, "Wait. I DID see this movie!" So make sure you haven't seen it already. Kevin Spacey is in it. (I only mention that because that has happened to me with friends a FEW times...)

I highly recommend the following:

Nowhere (a completely pointless movie with tons of famous actors (Heather Graham, Ryan Philippe, Kathleen Robertson, Christina Applegate), even though the movie is widely unheard of)

But I'm a Cheerleader (A funny movie about a girl whose family is convinced she's a lesbian so they send her to gay rehab)

Psycho Beach Party (Funny as hell. 90's version of a 50's horror movie with a modern sense of humour)

well, it IS a dark comedy. but it's hideously dark... and yes, i am extremely disturbed. this is well known. i told my mother i was better than Jesus(my parents are missionaries). she punched my arm about 8 times.

another good dark comedy(although not to the point of nauseation) is Throw Momma from the Train... DeVito has a twisted sense of humor...

I guess you've seen Eternal Sunshine, but if you haven't, do it. Wet Hot American Summer is fucking hilarious. The Doors is always a classic (if you like The Doors). Pink Floyd's the Wall is really only good if you're stoned out of your mind or on strong acid. Almost Famous is great. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, but everyone's seen that. Full Metal Jacket, or anything by Stanley Kubrick besides Eyes Wide Shut. Fog of War did kick ass. Dazed and Confused.
