OK, I'm bored as hell right now so, I was wondering, do any of you people know any good movies a poor guy like me could rent at blockbuster? And I can't stress this enough, I would like you to please put down a GOOD movie, not a cute little movie like "Barney returns". I want a movie that fuckin rocks. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

Snatch = new movie made by the people who made Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (I think) and it's funny as hell. It's got Brad Pitt in it as a gypsy boxer who you can barely understand a word he says. It's a big deal about a diamond theft.

Fuck renting, if you haven't allready, go to the theater and see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. NOW!

Other than that, here's the Top 25 (I actually have a top 500 list typed out if you want me to post it). These are in no particular order:

The Godfather
Dr Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)
The Godfather II
Schindler's List
Empire of the Sun
Enemy Mine
A Clockwork Orange
Ghostbusters
Bladerunner
Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
Wild Bunch
The Jerk
The Breakfast Club
Rio Bravo
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Pink Floyd's The Wall
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Star Wars: Episode 4: A New Hope
Star Wars: Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Episode 6: Return of the Jedi
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
American Beauty
Army of Darkness
Evil Dead 2

I would also suggest anything that I haven't mentioned by Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, or Akira Kurosawa.

I agree with fr0g...don't rent a movie, go see Crouching Tiger. That is the absolute greatest movie ever in the world.


You gave me away to the angels
You sent me up to the sky
Now their wings fan the heat from the face you'll never touch
The hair you'll never smell
The lips, the hands you'll never hold
