Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

did you like the acting in this? :)

Nothing to complain about in terms of acting in Solaris....or the 2002 version which I think is very underrated.

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

I will see Solaris someday too,because it's USSR movie featuring a Lithuanian actor in the lead role.The thing is,that I'm not a fan of sci-fi,especially of "slow sci-fi"(like 2001) so I just keep postponing this movie.

These are movies not previously posted, except for maybe in HK's link to his top 100...I gave up after I saw Roadhouse ;)

Way of the Gun
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
The Third Man
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Dark City
25th Hour
The Proposition
Clue
Enter the Void
The Cooler
The Killer Inside Me
Hanna
Children of Men
Stranger Than Fiction
The Salton Sea
Darkman

I think that's sixteen...but I think I left off about 100.

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

Nice choice, I was going to post up Stranger Than Fiction but you beat me too it.

Slow sci-fi can be great, if it is done right, however on a rainy Sunday I'd watch the likes of Independence Day and/or Empire Strikes Back over 2001 10/10 times.

return to paradise is a good 1

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

I'll just post some movies I think are great. These aren't necessarily in my top 10-20, but they are somewhat unique choices people don't talk about. Surely in my top 100 though.

Lucky One
Red Eye
Grapes of Wrath
Independence Day
It Happened One Night
Iron Man
Gran Torino
Descendants
State of Play
Gone Baby Gone
Wedding Crashers
Sansho the Bailiff

This was a crap Movie, the only redeeming feature was my love Rachel

Disagree. Red Eye, Wedding Crashers, and The Lucky Ones to me is what Charlie's Angels is to HK.

Honeykid would watch Drew take a dump :D I like Wedding Crashers & The Lucky Ones.

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

Red Eye is an awesome movie you're whack

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

Is "whack" a American saying or a young saying?

Now that's a good choice!

It's a mafia saying. ;)

For a Pom! You're very intelligent...:D

Re: Top 10-15 BEST (but not usual, cliche) movies?
 

I'll try this
Fight Club
2001 A Space Odyssey
Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind
Truman show
A Clockwork Orange
Tree of Life
The Shawshank Redemption
Revolutionary Road
The Shining
Boogie Nights
Seven
The Girl with the Dragon tattoo
Momento
The Prestige
The Matrix

Well, my ancestors were smart enough not to get sent to a penal colony. :p:D

Actually, I'm sure she meant the slang meaning, such as "crazy", "mad" or "ridiculous." If you give it the mafia spin, it's a very different comment. It'd also be grammatically incorrect, but I suspect the mafia aren't concerned with that.

Truman Show.. what a classic
