basically, the movie you thought was great, amazing, etc. but not many people saw it due to limited release or whatever. I say 2000 just so we dont name every movie under the sun. tell us why you love it & why we should watch it.

For me, "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints". Shia LeBouf shows serious acting chops for the first time imo in a drama and Channing Tatum gives his best performance in his career and shows he shouldn't be in shitty "Step Up" movies and should be doing serious roles. first time i saw Melonie Diaz (caught her in Be Kind Rewind recently)and she's great in her part and looking good. Chazz Palminteri is amazing as Shia's dad as well.

Downey Jr. & Rosario Dawson do well in their small roles and the story is just amazing cause its a true life story told in an unconventional way. i talk about the actors alot cause its a movies focused on its characters. One of the best since '00.

A story set in the early 1900s of a man and his family leaving Sicily for America. We see some Sicilian cultural details (Scorsese's DVD intro talks about it better than I ever could). We see the process of immigration before leaving for America, the voyage, and arrival. In regards to the Ellis Island sequence, the director did research and took info from letters and journals. Anyone who found The Godfather Part 2's Ellis Island sequences interesting would definitely love this movie.

It was shot and lensed by one of the greatest cinematographers alive Agnes Godard. There are instances of impressionistic flourishes and imagined/fantasy sequences. Easily contains some of the most memorable images since 2000 and one of the most moving, visceral scenes of characters singing and playing music I've seen. Stellar cast and performances. Well-written. Empathetic characters. Lots of heart. Very funny at times.

See it.

and I though Judy Marte ( "Juicy Judy" Gonzalez) was gonna be a keeper.


Great flick.

Not everything worked, but I still put it in the W column.

>"A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints".

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Tsotsi/70041142?lnkctr=srchrd-sr&strkid=1407079390_0_0
Director: Gavin Hood

This Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language film shows that no soul is too far gone from being reformed. After shooting a woman and driving off in her car, Tsotsi (Presley Chweneyagae), a ruthless thug, is surprised to discover he isn't alone, kept company by a crying infant in the backseat. He grudgingly takes the child home, and through his efforts to care for the tyke, Tsotsi slowly rediscovers his compassion, self-respect and capacity to love.

And she never watches foreign films.

The OKP® King of the Late Pass™
---------------------------------------

Cliche and directed by a white lawyer and failed actor looking to bolster his liberal virtue points and make his mark in Hollywood with a weak City of God knock off. Too bad it worked.

.

yes

I hate this movie and Noah Baumbach so much.

For some reason it's still interesting. You'd think that the movie would be boring with all of the talking but it's not.

The OKP® King of the Late Pass™
---------------------------------------

Directed by Bill Paxton, probably the best horror film to come along since the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Great performance by Paxton, good story and not over-reliant on cheap tricks.

I thought the twist was nice at the end.

I know it's not a straight horror film like Scream, a good comparison would be Rosemary's Baby. Not horror, but more of a horror-suspense-scary-type flick.

I didn't know Campbell Scott had it in him.

>I didn't know Campbell Scott had it in him.

And how awesome is it that Inara from FIREFLY is in there...?

>And how awesome is it that Inara from FIREFLY is in
>there...?

Was she in the scenes with Jennifer Beals & Elizabeth Berkley?

...that he comes up to and is a complete asshole to. (I know that doesn't really narrow it down... lol)

enough people still haven't seen this. I put it off forever, thinking it was a typically cheesy "disabled people can be tough" flick.

And I haven't watched it yet.

That's really a huge, huge L right there, isn't it?

In fact, what the fuck is wrong with me?

------------------------------------------------------------------
17

Totally worth it

and saw "Murderball"...there was not much excitement. Fuck, how was this at the top of my queue?

Just start watching it.

One of my favorite documentaries ever.

And sorry, but A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints wasn't that good, even with SHIA! as the lead... Channing Tatum was good, but that about it

And I wasn't too fond of Raising Victor Vargas, either

u got something against dominicans?

I just wasn't that fond of the storytelling, I found the whole thing boring

I've seen 30-second commercials that conveyed the same information in a much better manner

it's still a decent movie, but I liked it a LOT when I first saw it, but after a second and third viewing, it was "ok"...


Sexy Beast is that SHIT though.

>it's still a decent movie, but I liked it a LOT when I first
>saw it, but after a second and third viewing, it was "ok"...

I didnt like it that much the 1st time I saw it but appreciate it even more for what its worth now. Great performance by Craig & solid soundtrack/score

>Sexy Beast is that SHIT though.

Tis but still falls apart in the 3rd act

after it was over I knew I'd never want to see it again

.

For Your Consideration (did we discuss that one on here? I'm sure we did, but I don't recall)

I couldn't see it in theaters and lost track of it. i need to rent that

.

IT put me on Amy Adams (she's a sexy ass white girl) for the first time. Overall great movie. It should have done Juno numbers since it reminded me of that movie and is WAY better than Juno.

three years late on this cosign but yeah, great movie.

it was gonna be my pick, damn you

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0254199/

-------------------------------------
get that picture out of your sig

Shouldda been a blockbuster. But it's imho where Robert Downey Jr properly started his post drug era, and it's a great mix of R rated violence & comedy. Plus, the snark it throws towards LA and movie's in general seems just like one big in joke.

Just a very well made movie.

of that movie. it was like a less witty Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. talking directly to camera.

ANTI-RECOMMENDATION

hey you get it?!

Lol I'll admit that kind of gets annoying but I'll ANTI the ANTI recommendation...this movie is hilarious! Robert Downey makes it work

Harmony - look at that blonde over there. she's 35 and still trying to act. i see her at auditions. it's over baby, get a clue

Harry - how old are you?

Harmony - 34.

but I like your wink nudge line even better.

i enjoyed the movie as well, but all that stuff got a little annoying. i can definitely see why some people hate it.

got it in my DVD collection. I think this is the movie that solidified that RDJ was making a comeback in a good way. Val Kilmer was hilarious as well

Some really great performances, delivering on very solid material. This came out stateside right after Audrey Tatou hit big with Amelie, and before Chiewtel Ejioforioaeradfhjdf became everyone's new favorite actor. I don't think there's any American actors in it, which actually makes it more refreshing. The story, which I'm not really gonna go into here, is one you don't see often on American screens. But it's really great.
Oh and the Black English chic - yeah, that's my wife.

he did great, as well as audrey tatou as always and Sophie Okonedo showing her skills as well. I've never seen a story like it before so it was refreshing and an all UK cast i always welcome to me

I think a lot of people will be revisiting this when Pineapple Express finally comes out.

I still haven't seen a film quite like it.
