Originally posted by Heat 100 Girls ($10.25 shipped at DDD) All About My Mother Synopsis for 100 Girls: All About My Mother is a Spanish film by Pedro Almodovar, which won best foreign picture in 2000. I noticed you have Open Your Eyes & Y Tu Mama Tambien, this could be another good Spanish film for you. keep the suggestions coming...i love new movies! |
Body Double, Femme Fatale or almost anything from Brian DePalma
|
Let's see. Check these out if you don't own any of them. . .
Rabit Proof Fence - It's a foreign movie, maybe the best released all year. Personally I didn't find it slow & being based on a true story it makes you think of what the people went through. IT also has a great soundtrack by I think Peter Gabriel. A perfect blind buy which is how I saw the movie, plus it has some nice extras. Femme Fatale - First 20-25 minutes, no dialogue & some of the best 20-25 minutes I own on DVD. The movie does drag a bit towards the end though & Banderas is a little cheesy in it, but Romijn doesn't get the credit she deserves for this movie. The Royale Tenenbaums - If you don't own this, this is THE movie you should blind buy. Brilliant performances by the entire cast, never a slow boring moment. IT may even make you think. Memento - I'm sure you own this already if your a DVD fan. IT's everything you described as what you are looking for. Kids in the Hall: Braincandy - IMO one of the single funniest movies every made. The comedic performances are brilliant & the writing is very intelligent. In a way the movie will make you think a bit as it's also a satire on the dumb consumer society that we live in & how we all just want to feel happy & good all the time no matter what the cost. |

Run Lola Run
Its not slow (i.e. the aforementioned running), its makes you think (about the choices you make and how you are affected by them), its not American (its German), and its not cheesy (very good acting and directing with original script). |

I may have to rent Femme Fatale sometime. It looked pretty cheesy in the trailers though...

I'd rent Blow out (Its one of Tarentino's favorite movies, directed by De. Palma), and Dressed to Kill
|
State of Grace - Sean Penn Irish Mob Movie
City of Industry - Harvey Keitel - Heist gone wrong flick with the main character out for revenge. Both can be had for cheap as they are MGM |
Bring It On
|
I'd suggest these:
1. Basic Instinct 2. Zulu 3. The Train 4. She Wore A Yellow Ribbon 5. Flirting |
Dark City
EDIT: Never mind, I see you already have it. Oh well, that proves it was a good recommendation. :D Rob |
The Devil's Backbone
Dog Soldiers |

I think you would really enjoy:
Cube Cube 2: Hypercube |
U turn
