Movie Recommendations - What should I be watching?

[Jason]

I've recently watched the following flicks.

Star Wars - Episode III
Sin City
Badder Santa
Blue Velvet
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Ray
Constantine
Team America World Police
National Treasure
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Sideways
The Aviator

For the most part, I enjoyed all of them. Anyway, as you can see there's a broad range of shit in the list. That's because I enjoy a lot of different types of flicks. I was hoping I could get the rest of you fab forum go'ers to post your own lists. Don't worry about the genre. I'd just like to know what you've been watching recently. I'm running out of ideas, and I'm sick of wading through IMDB.

Movies Ive seen recently that I've throughly enjoyed in bold.

[Riesen]

If you liked Pee-Wee's Big Advenure you might also like Mars Attacks! and Beetlejuice.

I would also recommend a movie called Pi.

[Evasive]

why is it when I was watching Pee-Wee's Big Advenure, I felt like putting a shotgun in my mouth?

[Jason]

you weren't drunk enough at the time

[Amok]

the Toxic Avenger series from the 80's is pretty good if you're drunk/stoned or somehow wasted. don't see them when you're sober cos they're stupid.

[Superted]

Hmm, I recommend Young Frankenstein if you haven't seen it yet.

Or, A Beautiful Mind.

Can't think of any good movies that you may not have seen atm.

[ZeUs!!]

My all time favourites:

Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown and the Kill Bills
Saving Private Ryan
Spinal Tap
Desperado
Master and Commander
Shaun Of The Dead
Anchorman
Leon

No real trendy underground indie flicks there so you've probably seen them all already

[NaiLed]

Off the top of my head

Platoon
28 Days Later
Shaun Of The Dead
Saw
The Big Lebowski
The Green Mile
Lost In Translation
Memento
Good Will Hunting
Good Morning Vietnam
Escape from Alcatraz
Misery (from what I remember this is good)

you've probably seen most of them

[Jason]

yeah, i do one of these threads every couple of months, and the more i do them, the more i'm starting to realize that i've seen way too many fucking movies. usually one or two titles pop up that i haven't already seen. it's worth it though. i'm desperate for some sit-on-my-ass-with-a-bag-of-popcorn entertainment.

[Mulkero]

Bad Taste, Braindead

[Suh]

Bad Taste, Braindead

the super priest was the best bit.
