maggsmaggs Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Recently, I just saw Contact for the first time and it was great. So, can anyone recommend some other good movies and it doesn't have to be a Sci-Fi movie, just a good movie in general? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Suicide Kings i feel is a pretty good underated movie that you might like. Christopher Walken is in it and is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Happiness of the Katakuris, Miike Takashi (2001) If you like Monty Python, I highly, highly, highly, highly suggest it. The only way to describe it is "The Sound of Music" on acid. Hard Boiled or The Killer with Chow Yun Fat if you like action films. Can't go wrong with most of Kurosawa's movies for drama (and some action with Yojimbo, Seven Samurai or Sanjuro. There's also Dr. Strangelove -- another fun, dark little comedy.

SoxFan1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly A great spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood. You might want to watch the other 2 in the series: "Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkelstein Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Battle Royale. It is Japanese, but has subtitles. It is about a group of 7th graders who are put on an island and each given a weapon. After 3 days only 1 person can leave the island. Pretty entertaining, not a movie that would go over very well in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty entertaining, not a movie that would go over very well in the US. It's an excellent film and a really cool commentary on hyper-capitalism and its problems in Japan. And oh yes -- the US bought the rights to remake it. ::shakes head:: They've butchered every J-Horror film they've gotten their hands on, leave BR alone, New Line. http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=11650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) Specifically the part when Jack Black punts the dog off the bridge. I couldn't not stop laughing for like 30 minutes. Edited June 27, 2006 by Palehosefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
