Looking for some solid recommendations. Of course taste vary but for the most part a good movie is a good movie. Please feel free to contribute from both past and present. I always appreciate being tipped off to those little known gems lurking in the back isles of the Netflix warehouse.

For starters here are some films I loved.

• Inception
• He loves me He loves me not
• Memento
• I Am David

i'm no help here - i haven't seen a "good" movie in a very long time - all i see these days are pandering, low brow, cgi filled spectacles that target the 13-24 market - i haven't been to a theatre in years (lol - though admittedly that is mostly due to the 134" screen i have in the family room)

when you find one though, let me know - i love for somebody to tell me a good story, with real actors, and real cinematography - something twenty-somethings just wouldn't appreciate - i'm always up for one of those

This is risky but I do think you will like Inception which is out now. Very imaginative. The sets, such as hallways, were actually built then attached to devices that would spin and turn them to simulate a building spinning. Every actor delivered a solid performance as well. Even though it was scifi it was explained in such a way that it made sense. Kinda like the Matrix.

My favorite scene from the Hurt locker was when they were pinned down in a trench sniper vs sniper. The bravery and teamwork between the gunner and the scope man really translated well on film. I also liked the way the bomb specialist took the lead in keeping everyone together.

Damn.. how could I have left Inglorious Basterds and (the last) Star Trek off my list ?! Amnesia or dementia no doubt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Ditto. IMO, it is a cult classic and everyone should join that cult [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

@Rxter, I forgot to mention Zoolander, that movie is also one of my all time favourites!

While we are on the subject of slapstick comedy...A night at the roxbury also ranks quite high.

I am also starting to see a Star Wars trend....does this mean that geeks like 968s? To be honest, it would make perfect sense [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]
