What are some of your personal DVD recomendation?

Donnie Darko

and pretty much anything from David Lynch and David Cronenburg.

Brazil is also a good movie.
 
i agree with the cronenberg statement

i would check out some jim jarmusch movies: dead man, ghost dog, stranger than paradise

kurosawa movies: yojimbo, sanjuro
 
Big Lebowski,
Rushmore,
Stripes
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Muppet Movie
Bridge on the River Kwai
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
 
bottle rocket is good

if your looking to see something funny pretty much anything with peter sellers would be a plus.

punch drunk love
the gator ragowski flick
swimming pool (honey dip is so fine in this flick)
 
I do Netflix as well. Here are some suggestions:
The City of Lost Children
Amelie
Donnie Darko (a must-own, actually)
The Seven Samurai
City of God
Amores Perros
Memento
In The Bedroom
In America
 
Check out some of these foriegn films also.

Visitor Q
Audition
Versus
Storm Riders
I strongly second The City of Lost Children

Donnie Darko can be bought for $9.99 at Bestbuy the last time I check and it is a must have.
 
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes- Comedy Horror Musical.... really bad, but really funny, sequels include Return of the Killer Tomatoes, and Killer Tomatoes go to France

Killer Klowns From Outer Space- Another Comedy/Horror movie. A true classic, the name says it all

Super Size Me

Cowboy Bebop (DVD Session 6, Movie)- Session six includes my favorite 2 episodes (also the end of the series) Real Folk Blues Part One & Two. The movie is exactly that, plays like a 2 hour episode.

One Day In September- Documentary on the 1972 Munich Olympics

i 2nd 3rd 4th 5th city of lost children
fucking incredible movie
any hellboy fans out there check out this guy
 
everyone talks about donnie darko but this what i think of it.

fucking bunny thing bugs me out and i wanna kill it
i have a huge fucking crush on maggie gylenhall
but i hate jake gylenhall cause he was fucking kirsten dunst
and i should be bangin her
so that equals disdain for donnie darko
although u gotta watch it once
those reasons keep me from revisting it and turn the channel when its on
 
I would check out the "V" series (V, V: The Final Battle, and V: The Complete Series). Well worth it, great classic yet campy 1980s sci-fi. And how can you go wrong with a series that has Robert England in it! :D
 
If you are a fan of anime, I would reccomend checking at all of Satoshi Kon's works.

Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo GodFathers.

Hell, even if you don't like anime, check them out. It will definitely change your mind, at least about Satoshi Kon.

I agree with you on everything (except I wouldn't say Donnie Darko is a must-own, it is good, but not necessarily a must-own).

I doubly agree with The City of Lost Children and Amelie. After watching them watch Alien Resurrection (again, if you have already seen it). I personally was underwhelmed by Alien Resurrection the first time I saw it, but after seeing those two movies my mind changed.

I have figured out your major problem with this film!!! You are lusting after the wrong girl, Jena Malone is way hotter than Maggie Gylenhall.

Enter the Dragon[/quote]

Most overrated Bruce Lee movie ever, get Game of Death.

And Versus if they have it, best movie on the planet.
 
Donnie Darko is overblown cool-to-see-this-"indie"-film nonsense.

Guy Ritchie is dull.

Netflix unfortunately doesn't have Eraserhead.

It would help if you listed exactly what is already in your Netflix queue to see what kind of films you like. However, some films to see if you aren't looking for the "it's hip to watch these" films...

Mulholland Drive (2001, Lynch)
Hud (1963, Ritt)
The Bicycle Thief (1948, De Sica)
A Woman is a Woman (1962, Godard)
City Lights (1931, Chaplin)
Modern Times (1936, Chaplin)
Persona (1966, Bergman)
Night and Fog (1955, Resnais)
Network (1975, Lumet)
Talk to Her (2000, Almodovar)

There are 10 great films to get you started.
 
OK kool..by the way i just saw Donnie and Darko and maybe SPOILERS?::::







SPOILER::::::::::::::
but is the ending supposed to really mean anythign other than like becoming overwhelmed by the whole life and thought thing or whatever? Like its hard to explain but is there like a real obvious meaning or is one of those...that you can't really decifer..just post if i dont make any sense.

SPOILER END::::::::::::::::::::
 
Uh, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but he went back in time to save his girlfriend's life. Hence the "sounds like a superhero" line.
 
The "Ekin Trilogy" Stormriders (which was mentioned earlier), The Duel, and A Man Called Hero.

I'll also second that Versus nod. Not sure if it's the best movie on the planet, but its still damn good. Hopefully the have the "Ultimate" version.
 
Punisher, like the one based on the marvel comic? I thought it sucked.

Full Metal Jacket
Clockwork Orange
Lord of the Rings series
Kill Bill Vol1 and 2
Any Simpsons dvd
Any Family Guy dvd
And Futurama dvd
Memento
Spider-man????
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
White Chicks
 
Didn't bother to look through the other posts but if nobody said it yet I recommend:

Suicide Kings

I loved it and it can be had for around $6 just about everywhere.
 
Freaks and Geeks: You're here so you're probably a geek. This is an incredibly well written, touching and honest portrayals of highschool life. It was a short running series on NBC in the late 90's that got cancelled like everything good does.

I second the Wes Anderson and Charlie Kaufman recommendation, best quirky director, best writer respectively.
 
here's some of what i would suggest. some has been mentioned, some hasn't.

-city of god
-rushmore criterion
-royal tenenbaums
-david cross: let america laugh
-dancer in the dark
-freaks and geeks complete series
-high fidelity
-wet hot american summer
-wild zero
-upright citizens brigade season 1
-mr. show volumes 1, 2 and 3
-this is spinal tap
-waiting for guffman, best in show, and a mighty wind
-dr. strangelove
-being john malkovich
-the big lebowski
-audition
-happiness
-annie hall
-finding nemo
-amelie
-american splendor

obviously there's many, many, many more that could be mentioned, but already listed more than i needed to.

donnie darko isn't that great.

Nice to see somebody with good taste in film. I agree with every single one of those. :wink:

You sure Eraserhead isn't on Netflix? I could have sworn it was on there at one point. That movie is a "must buy" anyway, so anyone would be better off just purchasing it from davidlynch.com instead.

They say that David Lynch never revealed how he created the baby for that movie. That kind of always freaked me out a little bit. The only two Lynch movies I ever really appreciated were Elephant Man and Lost Highway. The rest are either too weird or too cheesy. I wonder what would have happened if he would have taken George Lucas's request and made Return of the Jedi.


Anyway, my recommendations are:

Buffalo' 66
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Yellow Submarine

Sorry I don't have a list of a 1,000 movies.

Edit: If you haven't taken a philosophy course yet, you might want to check out the film Waking Life. It's a good introduction into certain themes that you'll have to learn about when you take the course in college. However, if you have taken a philosophy course, avoid it all costs. You'll get incredibly pissed off at how pretentious the film is. It's like the asshole kid in class that responds to every question, and thinks that just because he's the only one responding, he's the only one who knows the answer.
 
Dead Alive, it is a good look at an up and coming Peter Jackson and definitely MORE BLOODY than Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2 combined
 
Here are some good movies to look for.

MASH
Way of the Gun
Bride of Chucky
The Matrix Trilogy
Shrek
Day After Tommorow
Scarface
Godfather Trilogy
 
i say scarface. just watched that movie all the way through (never had the chance to watch it before), it is a great gangster movie if you like those.
 
B0002OXRSG.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg


I thought this would be a pretty stupid movie, but it was freaking hilarious. It pokes fun of extremely hardcore christians that try to live their life by the book.. it's hilarious.
 
Midnight Cowboy
Fight Club
Midnight Express
Angel Heart
Anything Martin Scorsese
Anything Charlie Chaplin
Anything Terry Gilliam
Citizen Kane
The Thing
Evil Dead Trilogy
The Dead Zone (Walken)
The Deer Hunter
The Manchurian Candidate (Sinatra)


Tv Series

The Wire (HBO)
The Sopranos
Dead like Me (Showtime)
Oz (HBO)
The Shield (FX)
The Dead Zone (meh)

There are hundreds and hundreds of great stuff to get on Netflix.
