Movie recommendations

Post by Durandal »

This is a thread for movie recommendations. People can post cool movies they've seen and all that other stuff. If it is the will of the mods, they could make this a sticky.

Anyway, here are two of mine.

The Boondock Saints
The Messenger

Siege of firebase Gloria
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Contact was one of movies that inspired me to study science, and turned me on to Carl Sagan's writings. The ending bombed though IMHO!

How about guilty pleasure movies?

Mine is Mortal Kombat. The acting is atrocious in spots, and the plot is just an excuse to move from one fight scene to another, but I really get a kick out of this movie anyway.

OK, another one is Gangbang Girl 14, but I don't think that's the kind of movie you were talking about :)
