The Good Movie thread

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.

The Departed.

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

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

wilhelm-
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.

[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.

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

'Monstrous4Banger' "better off dead".

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.

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?

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