Its worth checking out if you like those type of movies

Where wolf?!?!!? hahahaaa!! Classic!

It's called Dog Soldiers? Never heard of it! (i'm a huge werewolf buff if you didn't already guess!)
Werewolf movies are all usually HORRIBLE too! haha! The best one was 'Ginger Snaps' Though the actual werewolf sucked but that's usually the case... BUT IT WAS CANADIAN TOO!!! BOOYEAH!!

Death to Smoochy was HILARIOUS!! Best black comedy I've seen! 'm sure it's out in England Piggle, its new so it shouldn't be hard to find! Robin Williams and Edward Norton make a great duet!

Another "fave movie" thread... ok, let's try to write down a list (but it should be much longer) just for this time

Hana-bi
Wild Strawberries
Ugetsu monogatari
Ran/Rashomon/Dreams (can't decide)
A.I. - Artificial Intelligence
Casablanca
Carlito's Way
The third man
Ordet
Raise the red lantern
Singin' in the Rain
Tokyo monogatari
8 e 1/2
Trainspotting
Dr. Strangelove
The man who wasn't there
Road to perdition
Der Himmel über Berlin

Some are the original titles, because I don't know the English translation or either because I've only watched them in the original version with subtitles. In general, they're written in no particular order.

Sad to notice that the greatest part of people here completely ignore the existance of foreign, old and/or non-mainstream movies...

I don't disregard all that I just haven't seen many old or foreign films I like.

Maybe it's because you haven't watched many or enough of them in general (I mean, apart from the fact you didn't like much the ones you have watched). Mine is not criticism, I'm only underlining mere facts.

[ssjtrunks13]

I know I just felty like saying something and yes I've only seen on or two.

[Pu the Owl]

One or two is really two little to express an opinion on this matter
But I wasn't only talking about you, and it's not that I was looking for explanations.

*jumps up and down waving hands*

Like me!! Heh, my parents are the ones I usually watch movies with and they usually get to choose and they aren't ones for renting movies they've never heard of... Though I made them watch Amelie and they liked that one! That was another good one!

And damnit!! I forgot the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' and 'Little Shop of Horrors'?!!?!!! I could watch that over and over!! ahahaa!

[Chara]

Autin Powers (im about to change my avatar and title to reflect that), the matrix, and all James bond movies.

I like Amelie a lot too. That was one of the best movies I've watched last year.

I know it's not your fault, but many (not all) of you should do themselves a big favor: try to find movies from the 70s, the 60s, the 50s, the 40s, the 30s, the 20s, the 10s, and even from the first years of the century - try looking at movies from Europe, Japan, China, Honk Kong, Africa, etc. etc. but also at those great directors that worked in U.S.A. (Chaplin, Wells, Ray, Ford, Kazan, Wilder, Hitchcock...) and that were authors, not simple honest workmen.

I perfectly know that's difficult to find a TV station that broadcasts old movies, and it's almost impossible to find good old movies in places like Blockbuster - but there are thousands of film clubs where you can get to know Truffaut, Mizoguchi, Kurosawa, Fellini, Rossellini...

You should never forget that good part of the movies produced at Hollywood are first of all the result of marketing researches done on YOU, and they have little to do with art. There is nothing bad in this, it's great to look at movies just for fun, and this doesn't mean that nowadays Hollywood movies can't have the same qualities of older or independent movies - directors like Spielberg, Scorsese, Mendes, Coppola, De Palma, Stone, Zemeckis are wonderful artists, even if they create commercial movies.

But please, try to escape from the schemes our society imposes you from your very first day of life on this planet - try to look at things that are no longer mainstream, or that never were mainstream - you'll have more freedom, and you'll discover the work of people who spent their lives believing that art - and men - can and must go beyond the industry.

Of course, it's not that not knowing is always a fault, but getting used to the average taste industry imposes just for a global lack of interest, that is indeed a fault IMO. Not being able to choose is not a fault, but not wanting to have the means to choose what you want... that is the worst fault among all.
First you have to see, to choose later what's best for you.

I never was a fan of that movie, but for some reason my older brother thinks it's a great example of a sci-fi movie.
