For foreign films I have to add Undergroundto the list. One of my all time faves. That movie is f’ing insane.

Like others above, I liked Hate, but Underground is just so rich, hedonistic, nutty and dark. It makes me want to get drunk. But then, I’ve always had a thing for the Balkans (family ties).

The story follows an underground weapons manufacturer in Belgrade during WWII and evolves into fairly surreal situations. A black marketeer who smuggles the weapons to partisans doesn’t mention to the workers that the war is over, and they keep producing. Years later, they break out of their underground “shelter” — only to convince themselves that the war is still going on.

Maybe CFAvsMBA or someone masturbated into the clone tank to mess with them.

#103

brain_wash_your_face, I just watched that movie like a month ago and I can’t agree with you more. I got a smile on my face in the first couple of minutes and just kept smiling for the next 3 hours or so.

I was going for the whole ‘appears to watch world cinema because it’s cultured but actually just watches for the vag’ kind of gag but to be fair, it wasn’t really there.

and also because the word vag is criminally underused… much like pishflaps

Predestination with Ethan Hawke

#106

WTF!?

I rarely watch TV/Movies. So often it’s a huge letdown despite everyone saying, “Ohhh, You have to see it!! It’s soooo good!”

#107

The only two movies that I want to see in the theaters are the new Hunger Games and the last Hobbit movie. Unless it’s a movie that I’m really really into, I’d just as soon catch it at home on PPV.

#108

When will sequel of Da Vinci code movie called “The lost symbol” release??I am eagerly waiting for it.

#109

Caught 'The Drop ’ the other week, solid watch but nothing special.

looking forward to The Theory of Everything

#110

Anybody seen “Jupiter Ascending” yet? The previews look promising, but I’ve heard it’s not all that great.

edit - Nevermind. I just noticed that it’s starting in North America today. Still, if you watch it, post a review of it. I haven’t made up my mind if I want to watch it.

#111

How could it not be great with future Oscar winners Kunis and Tatum?

#112

I’ve heard its fucking dreadful but then, everything the Wachowskis have done since the 1st matrix has been utter shite.

Saw Birman the other week and I really liked it. The whole film is made to look like one big long tracking shot. Ed Norton is the man.

#113

Whiplash. J.K. Simmons scares me Oz stlye.

#114

suggest a few good wall street movies plz

#115

Ease into the genre with American Psycho then watch Wall Street. Next, watch Wall Street again followed by American Psycho. Then read American Psycho.

Throw Bonfire of the Vanities in there if you want. Boiler Room too perhaps.

I haven’t seen Wolf of Wall Street yet. I’m too busy doing crunches at the moment. I can do 1000 now.

#116

Does Glengarry Glen Ross count as a Wall Street movie? Sure, it doesn’t take place on the street, but it has that kind of feel to it.

#117

Glengarry is required viewing for anyone in sales in any industry. And, I kid you not, Tommy Boy is another one that actually teaches you a lot about selling. It really drives the point home that sales is about connecting with people. Doesn’t matter what you sell or how good your product is (sadly). When Tommy figures that out, he starts killing it.

#118

Wolf of Wall Street is a must see for the genre. It’s obscene.

#119

Would The Great Gatsby count? I haven’t seen the latest one.

#120

This is right. It makes sense to ease in with a film about a homicidal maniac with a chainsaw. I actually think you should watch it twice first though and then watch Wall Street because the chainsaw scenes will better prepare you for the tour de force that is Wall Street.

Boiler Room is good. Margin Call is good. Wolf of Wall Street is good.

Avoid Wall Street 2, Trading Places, and arguably Bonfire of the Vanities IMO.

That’s all for now, I have to return some videotapes.
