What was that flick DiCaprio starred in with Mark Wahlberg and the MA State troopers thing? That was pretty good. Hard to top Saving Private Ryan ... LeMans is all time fav - as well as Miracle.

Great lists here of some of my all time fav films, I will add

Downfall

Taken

High Fidelity (book was better though)

Bicentennial Man

Sherlock Holmes

The Fourth Kind

And for sheer fun, any of the first three Star wars movies

The Departed.

Good movie with a stacked cast. Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, David O'Hara, Jack Nicholson and Alec Baldwin

Paying out that much in talent makes it hard to make a profit [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I used to find alot of great small or lesser know movies, haven't seen many lately though. Here are some good movies you might not have heard of. I loved Memento too.


Requiem for a Dream - an intense movie.
Saint Ralph - funny and a cool story
Boondock Saints - action
Millions
Thank you for smoking

Requiem was good. I haven't seen any of the others though. So thanks for the list. I'm guessing by your taste in movies I'll enjoy them.

There is a major injustice in this thread. How could we forget one of the greatest thrillers of all time?

Think 1991. I'm pretty sure everyone here has seen this movie and doubt anyone thinks its anything less then great. <!--sizec--><!--/sizec--></b>

Misery?

[quote name='flash' i find his performances flat, insincere, and wimpy - i just i don't believe him in his roles - i just don't see him as a leading man - more the geeky sidekick


Just caught this. I actually like the guy. I like him a lot more after watching Inception, he did a really good job. There is one scene in particular. <!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro--><b>(SPOILER) </b><!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc-->Where his wife jumps off the ledge committing suicide right in front of him. His reaction was so realistic and full of emotion that it put a lump in my throat. He really nailed it.

Misery?

No. But that was a good one.

Uhhmm... is it Silence of the Lambs ? or may be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] ?

Yes Clarice

My Man Dan. That is the one. It is also one of my all time favorites.

My favorite horror flick is "idiocracy". [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] I know, I know, its a comedy, but a horror in my mind. "Hot tub time machine", was actually pretty funny. Im partial to Cusack playing 80's roles. Takes me back to "one crazy summer", and "better off dead". That, and I dated his niece.

princess bride

holy grail

LA story

there are a few "actors" whom i cannot stand enough to watch - unfortunately they are all fairly popular and consequently i miss a few movies - the funny part is that i know some of the guys (though admittedly not well), and i still can't stand to watch them

Idiocracy was hillarious!

I also liked Garden State and Adventureland (I teenage movie, but very watchable)

'Monstrous4Banger' "better off dead".

two dollars... LOL I have that movie in my basement somewhere on VHS. I never got around to picking up the DVD. Never liked any of his non main stream films though.

Flash: I tend to agree about Dicaprio. He has had a few good roles. "catch me if you can", fit him pretty well, IMO. Hes not very convincing to me as a gangster, or tough guy. Better than Keanu Reeves......DUDE. LOL Dicaprio gets some of the best story lines for those kinds of movies tho, and usually is a supporting actor. In those cases, like "The Departed", the movie is so good, I just overlook it.

"two dollars... LOL I have that movie in my basement somewhere on VHS. I never got around to picking up the DVD. Never liked any of his non main stream films though."

Hahahaha, I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!! Two dollaaaaaars!. LOL. Love that movie. I think youll like "Hot tub time machine". Its sounds cheesy, and well, it kinda is. LOL Some pretty funny stuff.
He'll always be epic for comedy in my book. Im not a fan of all his work tho.

Oh I saw HotTub. LMAO. Early on with the one armed bell hop. They made good use of him through out the movie. Funny stuff. What was with the random Bear appearances?

"He beat you like it was his job.. and made you cry .. and Pee." [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Im not sure about the bear. Im gonna watch again, and pay attn to it. Talking about these movies made me want to watch "Police academy" for some reason.

rhudeboye - check post #19 - I was all over that! "...I'm having an old friend for dinner."

Huh, you did mention it. And I didn't see any edit markings either?? Sorry bout that. The world is better now.

Sunshine cleaning. One reviewer called it "a big slice of life" I would have to add that its a hard knock life being portrayed.

Flash,

I used to think exactly the same about dicaprio, but my opinion changed after Blood Diamond - great film and great performance.
