Re: suggest a blind buy for me!
 

I'm having trouble understanding if Boondock Saints is supposed to be an example of a slow movie or a fast one. If it's the former, then I can only say one thing: Tarkovsky.

A blind Buy..find a Helen Keller disc... should be blind enough for ya. :)

Seriously, Run Lola Run is always good and can be watched many many times and you see something different every time... as has been discussed already here.

Also, shockingly funny was Soroity Boys if you like that kind of stuff. Also, Croupier and Following..both excellent. I also recommend Primary Colors as well as it was great!

The Ray Charles Video Anthology.

All of my favorite movies are boring, American, with bad story lines and with crappy acting and writing. Well I guess i can help you.

I'm telling you, if you haven't seen it you NEED to add Jacob's Ladder to this list. I'm really surprised more people aren't recommending it.

The Devil's Backbone. You already have Donnie Darko and Dark City (two movies I would have recommended) so if you liked those, you might like The Devil's Backbone. Also, it's a little slower and weirder, but I think the BBC miniseries Gormenghast is really good.

If you are going to go for that title, don't forget to play the "Walmart lottery" ;)

BTW I just finished watching Nemesis Game and I think that fits into the types of movies you are looking for as well. I'm not sure I'm saying I recommend it though... have to think about it for awhile first ;)

One more suggestion:

An underrated Sci-fi flick: Gattaca


Cheers

He's right you know.

Try Takeshi Kitano's Hana-Bi (US Title: Fireworks). It's in my top 5 favorites list. Especially if you liked The Limey (similar melancholy tone).

i saw and liked jacobs ladder. i dont own it but i like it a lot and it will be bought someday. thanks

I just did some more research on this and this looks like it may have to be #5. either that or I need to get more than 5 :D . My wife is gonna kill me. This movie looks really good!

Coupier is awesome! I love this movie...is it released on DVD in region 1?

Check amazon.com, import Canadian Fullscreeen...

Down by Law

or anything by Jim Jarmusch

I believe Croupier here is Full Screen...sadly. Elsewhere, which is where I plan on purchasing it, it is 16x9.

dvdpricesearch.com is your friend!

Well I just bought the Criterion as I liked Ghost Dog so if it's not good, I'm coming after you :D

Down by Law, only decent due to Bennini and cinematography,otherwise skip it..

I also hear the print is miserable.

Don't quote me.

well...mulholland dr, aores perros, dressed to kill, the devils backbone can be had for about $55 from N. American DVD so I amy be getting those for sure.

All about my mother is pretty pricey along with the third man (im getting it soon anyway) so those two are out for now.

thanks for all your help! i have wondered about 2 of the movies i am getting and the other 2 will be totally fresh to me.

thanks

Croupier print is not miserable..

At the price (about 6-7 dollars at some places) I would say Jacob's Ladder is an absolute must buy.

Mulholland Dr. is simply unbelievable. Definitely go for that. Someone mentioned "Below" earlier in this thread. I second that, it was an enjoyable film and not overly stupid in the vein of movies such as "Ghost Ship". I don't know about 100 Girls. I thought the movie was very dumb, but bought it because I'm an ENERMOUS fan of Larisa Oleynik (Alex Mack on the Nickelodeon show). She's quite possibly the most beautiful actress in the world. She was given a really stupid role though in that movie. But yeah.

On The Devil's Backbone, note that the executive producer is Agustín Almodóvar, and Pedro Almodóvar is a producer (along with a few others). And the lead actor is Eduardo Noriega, who was the lead actor in "Open Your Eyes", which you have.
