Also, in response to the thread topic, I'll list a few of my favorites as well as a short explanation as to why I like the movie (without giving away plots).

This list includes movies of many genres, from kid//family movies to intense thrillers.

  • The Truman Show - this Jim Carrey film is great. An interesting concept that pulls you along with it.
  • Bicentennial Man - This is a great Robin Williams film. A great combination of sic-fi, comedy, romance, and story telling. Watch this with a girl you're trying to impress. She'll likely never have seen it and will be in tears by the end, giving you an easy ticket to her heart (or pants).
  • A Clockwork Orange - This film is a classic. I you have read the book and enjoyed it, this one will be perfect for you. A dark and cunning film that is sure to tickle your brain. Not recommended for squeamish/sensitive people or children.
  • Face Off - This is a pretty shitty film featuring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage. While it could be an interesting concept for an action film, it's Cage and Travolta, so yeah. Even though this is not a comedy by any means, I can't help but laugh my ass off while watching it.
  • How to Train Your Dragon - This is a great film for the family, and can easily be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.
  • The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - I can't really explain this one. Hieronymus Carl Friedrich Baron von Münchhausen was a German nobleman who fought for the Russian military in the 1700s. When he returned home, he was known for telling ridiculously exaggerated tales about his adventures. This movie is based off those stories. It's a bit absurd. That said, I always enjoy watching it.
  • Bio-Dome - This is a really fun and stupid film. It's really dumb. Like, really. It's dumb. Put this movie on while you've got a bunch of friends over for drinks, smoking, etc.

That's all for now. I may post more later. Enjoy  Smiley
