movie suggestions

[vampiress]

List a movie or two you suggest and why. i'm looking for unusual movies people would not normally go see.

can i also suggest adding a link to the movie website or summary of the movie from allmovie (http://allmovie.com) or internet movie database (http://imdb.org)


i'm recommending the triplets of belleville (http://www.sonyclassics.com/triplets/) an interesting animated film. very little dialogue. visually fantastic. i enjoyed seeing this old school style of animation (ie not pixar) revived. the story of of a cyclist who get's kidnapped by gangsters and the comedy that ensues.

i particularly love the dog.

the only draw back was a lot of the dialogue was still in french, and i do not know any french. but since the dialogue was minimal, it was ok.

[Aquarium]

Liberty stands still. the film phonebooth was "loosely" based around. it is infinitely better and has a plot (shock horror) it does have wesley snipes in it but dont let that put you off, well worth a watch.

i like media forum mmmmmmm.

When I was younger I saw this really weird eighties film called "Paper House". About some girl who draws a house then goes there in her dreams. It's weird, and not everyone will like it but I thought it was interesting... in a really warped way...

[Shave]

Anti-Trust, really rare but really good film. if anyone else has seen this film let me and rabid_amoeba know.

Donny Darko - A movie that has become popular based purely on word of mouth.

Things to do in Denver when you are dead - The Usual Suspects meets Reservoir Dogs...nuff said

OMG Nutnoodles I love you!!! What did I say in the other thread that's like this but isnt quite the same?

Otherwise I reckon that you want to see Free Enterprise (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141105/). A true SciFi fan's treat.

And I just remembered another. Dead Man (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112817/), starring Johnny Depp and directed by Jim Jarmusch. An existential western movie (if there is such a thing!)

Intacto - a spanish film with subtitles, but it's based around a really good idea. See my thread about luck for the gist. Probably could have made more from it, but worth a look.

yes was quite good.

i also recommand american splendor. it's about harvey pekar, a cult cartoonist. it is sort fo documentary, sort of fiction. i was very entertained. takes place in cleveland (beign from there that migth explain some of my amuement) but he uis this ordinary guy with some cool friends who has an interesting view on things.

So so many

NARC - Good cop gone bad?
Lantana - Magnolia with added whodunnit flavour.
In the Aftermath - Anime meets Live-action
Brotherhood of the Wolf - French period action thriller
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai - Ancient artistry in modern America
Lost in La Mancha - documentary about a film that fails to get made

There are so many more...

I've seen it...thought it was average



I'd suggest Taxi (french film but very good...and I'm not into cars that much)

...or American History X (a lot of you may have seen it but it's sooo damn good)

Seen it, it's pretty good, but boring in places.
