    A mission to reignite the sun? I can't get past that.

    If you like sci-fi, Primer. Indie movie made by engineers for a few thousand bucks.

    I disagree: I'm a big Danny Boyle fan, but I agree about Primer. It's amazing.

    Other flicks I'm a huge fan of:

    Blade Runner: probably one of the best science fiction movies of all time. Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Han Solo. It's not nearly as popular as it should be in the annals of cinema.

    Children of Men: easily one of my favorite films.

    Closer: a gut-wrencher of a film for "hopeless romantics"

    A Life Less Ordinary: another Danny Boyle film, and stars a hilarious Ewan Mcgregor

    Clerks: or any other film by Kevin Smith, actually

    The Saint: Val Kilmer at his best

    Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels: Guy Richie's first film. If you loved Snatch, you'd love this one too.

    The Thing (1982 version)

    Scanners

    Zack and Miri Make a Porno

    I thought it was worthy of some Oscar consideration. Was actually disappointed it wasn't mentioned during the build up. it was the best movie I had seen all year... but it wasn't promoted like a whore and it didn't have any sympathetic political angle, so it wasn't in the running.

    Out of the Furnace was great till the last 20 minutes. I thought the ending sucked ass. Scene with Affleck and Woody is hilarious. Had to watch that part again. This movie had great cinematography which I am a sucker for.

    Couple more,

    Book of Eli (watch on Blu-Ray)

    No Country for Old Men DQed for being too mainstream

    3:10 to Yuma

    Dredd (BluRay)

    Alien, top 5 favorite movie I think

    Restrepo is probably one of the best documentaries I have seen. If you have not seen it, you should take the time and watch it.

    The Prestige. Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Michael Caine at their best. Plus Scarlett Johansson as eye candy.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Some more:


    Eastern Promises

    Blue Velvet

    Heat

    Good Will Hunting

    Green Street Hooligans (and if you soccer fans like that, you should also check out Cass, which is also about West Ham, and The Firm (1989), also about the original West Ham firm, ICF [inner city firm], starring Gary Oldman)

    White Squall

    Sexy Beast (easily one of Ben Kingsley's best roles)

    Dr. Strange Love

    Mean Streets
