I'm always looking for new movies to watch and wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations.

Mine:

-Control Room (documentary on Al-Jazeera)
-American History X
-Donnie Darko
-Waking Life
-Traffic
-This Is Spinal Tap
-The Shawshank Redemption
-Life Is Beautiful (Italian film)

i recommend either 'pie' or 'the wall.' 'one hour photo' is really really good as well. american history x was probably the best movie i think i have ever seen. i really want to see donnie darko. those three movies were the ones that came to mind when you asked this question, so i posted it.

Movies that changed how I view movies:
1. Boondock Saints
2. Fight Club (Read the book though first)
3. Resevoir Dogs - or any Tarantino Film except from Dusk till Dawn <that movie was fucked up even though he only acted in it.
4. Patton
5. Gummo <odd but intriguing
6. Clerks/Mallrats/Dogma/Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Chasing Amy sucked though Amy is HOT!)
7. Rushmore
8. Kids and Bully both by Larry Clark <seriously Fucked up movies that make you pity the youth of America, however they are strongly acted.
9. Wizard of Oz (The writer meant it as a social commentary on the populist movement, Williams Jennings Bryant and the Gold Standard, and their affect upon the U.S)
10. Shogun (Long)

*Also if anyone has seen Gilliams Brazil or Lost in Translation tell me if you thought they were worth a look.

Gotta say, 'Equilibrium' was damn good ... sorta matrix/1984 themes

other than that, the resident evil movies are good and enjoyable for a dumb horror flick
