Name anything and everything. Note that I will probably already have owned or experienced many of the things you are naming. JUSTIFY MY 16.99 A MONTH

i heard Felon is a good movie.

Inland Empire (YES, AGAIN)
Peppermint Candy
The Fast Runner

Lady Vengeance, Mr. Vengeance, Old Boy
Tokyo Drifter
Curb Your Enthusiasm (all)
Pan's Labyrinth
-
I saw all the movies you mentioned except for The Cowboys, which I don't think I've ever heard of.
-
The Sweet Smell Of Success: Kinda-noir in New York with an awesome soundtrack. Tony Curtis plays the proto-Ari Gold.
The Asphalt Jungle: One of my absolute favorite noirs.
The Wire: How come you haven't watched the rest?
Breaking Away: Low-key comedy with a sports movie finish and a young Daniel Stern. Mark Hamil was set for the lead, but turned it down cause he was suddenly hot off of Star Wars.
The Goodbye Girl: It's a pretty clever comedy with a really likeable young Richard Dreyfuss.
Casablanca, The African Queen, Key Largo, To Have And Have Not: You ever watch the Bogart canon, outside of The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon?
Cat City: I watched this as a kid and apparently it's a cult hit. Eastern European 2D animation! That's got to have some cachet.
At Last The 1948 Show: Kind of an ur-Python, with John Cleese and Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.
LA Confidential: When's the last time you watched it? It's so good and should have its own sub-forum here.
Profit: It's available on Netflix! Like right now.
-
Wonder Boys. RDJ sleeps with Spiderman. Wacky dog shooting and weed, cheeseburgers
LA Confidentiall is on Bluray now, get that version from nutflix
-
queue
and DEATH ROW GAME SHOW, butternutz
also BLOODSUCKING FREAKS
-
ITS A MASTERPIECE
-
Bluray waits are unbearable. I might switch back to dvds.
-
I search for Cat City, and the second result for that search was Sex and the City: The Movie. Lol.
On why I haven't gotten into The Wire: Similar to Mad Men, it requires too much attention to watch. Having a movie that demands attention is okay, but when I'm talking 12+ hours of a television show, it doesn't fly nearly as comfortably. If I am taking the time investment to get into a TV show, I want to be able to comfortably fuck around on the computer or do other things while watching.

Alien Vs Predator Requiem

Batman: The Movie with Adam West. I'm being sincere. </Biden>
It gets a lot of flack for undermining The Real Batman (which had to be rescued by Frank Miller in the 80's) but that misses the point: it was deliberately campy, and it does a fantastic job at what it's trying to do.
Definitely worth watching. That goes for the rest of you too.
-
They don't have Funeral Parade of Roses :( Been looking for that for like a year and a half now :(
-
Babe, The Cowboys is great. Give it a shot.
-
all the police academy movies
sgt. bilco
actually all steve martin movies
-
Was Frida a good movie? I love Frida Kahlo (she was on the short list for office art, but I could not find a print of the picture I wanted), but uh, isn't her life story kind of a downer?
-
I like Frida Kahlo, but I thought Frida was pretty lame.
-
This is the one I wanted a print of, of course:

It fits my theme of off-putting well.
-
Frida was kind of a standard biopic.
I'm not crazy about biopics, especially about artists (in the general sense). Seems like there's a tendency to shove it down the audience's throat. "She was great! Look, we'll get other characters to talk about how great her work is! Appreciate her, you philistines!"
I saw it in theatres, but that was for Salma. Ya know...
-
I think The Aviator is the only biopic I really love.
-
and Caligula.
-
Happiness
-
I already have it, abrader :) Might even be one of my favorites.

Dogville- One of the best endings in a film that I've seen, plus it meets your requirement for children being killed. Added bonus: Nicole Kidman tits

A Summer in St. Tropez

Naruto fillers, just the fillers. :-*
-

I'll go through all of the recommendations.
For the record, jarosh, i own 12 and Holding :-* and L.I.E.
-
Have you seen The French Connection I & II, TVC? Gene Hackman is my jesus.
-
I've never seen II.
-
It's AWESOME. I honestly believe it is every bit as good a crime drama as The Godfather Part II is.
"I'd rather be a lamppost in New York than the President of France"
-
To your preferences, weird as they are.
Little Children
Dolores Claiborne
Teens, young adults with issues
Donnie Darko: Director's Cut
Requiem for a Dream

double down with Closer.
-
Added.
I should be getting the terrible Prole recommendation DEATHROW GAMESHOW tomorrow, which I am assuming will be one of the most horrendous things I have ever subjected myself to.

Memories of Murder-is so fucking great. As a confirmed Asian film geek, when I say that this is my favorite Korean movie, that should mean something. Its riotously funny, its thrilling, its heartrending, its an especially involving police procedural film. If Zodiac were funny, and about Korean bush-league cops, and came out a few years prior, it would be this movie.

I'll have to check this out, since the only other korean movie I've seen is Oldboy. :\
-
Seen this week that I recommend: Son of Rambow and In Bruges
-
Agreed on Memories of Murder. Stands out even though there have been like millions of awesome Korean movies made in the past 20 years or so.
and if you like that, Peppermint Candy is pretty awesome too.
-
Just added that, jarosh <3. Memories of Murder is already in queue.
-
Did I mention that In Bruges features priests, little boys, drugs, murder and midgets? It's mostly about Irish hitmen bored out of their minds in Belgium though.
And in a bizarre coincidence, that Bosch painting we were talking about last week (The Garden of Earthly Delights)?
-
I think In Bruges is in my queue.
I need to do some prioritizing. My queue is like over 160 and I'd like to see some of your recs soonish.
I have this coming in tomorrow. I am hyped:

In Bruges is completely awesome, but I also found it completely depressing.
