(make sure you watch the unedited version)

Just curious, why does everyone say that you must see the unedited version of this? I have never seen the edited version so I don't know what is cut out.


I heard a lot of the more "romantic" scenes between Portman and Reno were cut to take the "pedo-ish" tones out of the film, but I have no confirmation because I have never seen that edit.

That's pretty much what they cut out; don't see why either, it was harmless. I just hate it when they do stuff like that in general so it's something I mention

Gary Oldman is my all time favorite actor. Never seen The Professional though. Guess I should.

what the hell?

You of all people I'd expect to have seen that movie...

the professional was a good movie. a little odd but i would watch it again.

I own this...Very good movie!

One of my offspring has this very poster in his chambers. I must attest to it being a superb motion picture.

how about:

Gattaca
Solaris
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
A River Runs Through It

I watched the professional today, excellent movie!!!

definitely usual suspects, its not nearly as popular as it should be.

im gonna look for the professional; i dont think ive ever seen it.

I far prefer most of these movies to any hollywood block buster.

City of Violence- Korean

The Virgin Suicides

Police Story- You've probably seen it, now watch it again and realize that the Writer/Director/choreographer/Star almost died twice while doing his own stunts.

Blood Simple- Coen Brothers first

Top Secret- Better than naked gun

Last house on the left

Let the right one in

Definitely the Usual Suspects.

BATTLE ROYALE!!!! and BATTLE ROYALE 2!!!!!!!

Contact
AI
City Of God (about the drug slums in Rio)
The Usual Suspects
Constantine (Keanu Reeve's best film ever)
What Dreams May Come
Munich
Rat Race
Alien, Aliens, and Aliens 3
Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI Original Versions
Terminator 2
The Machinist
Starship Troopers

More Recent Releases:
Star Trek Zero (New One)
District 9
Tron 3D
Watchmen (Didn't read the novel but thought the film was amazing)
Ninja Warrior (just plain fun)

I'll agree that the Dusk Till Dawn was good but I thought Inglorious Basterds was crap. Everyone gushed over the first scene and I thought 20min of 2 guys talking while drinking milk was just lame. Brad Pit was the best part of that movie. I'm not a huge fan of Tarantino either, I think dude is a tool and reminds me of a rodent.

One of your offspring, at the very least, is a pothead...if not a full-blown hipster. I would take care sir.

Everyone should watch Fired Up, hands down the funniest cheerleading movie ever. Plus great eye candy throughout.

Not a bad film, but not one of my favorites either. I liked Fear and Loathing better.

Yes, there is one at midnight every Saturday here in Portland and people dress up.
I did not enjoy myself. Maybe if I was high on meth and crack like everyone else I might have but god DAMN was that the most insanely stupid thing I've ever witnessed.

Turbo is my hero (insert sad face here).

The Castle, one of my favs

get out. break dancing and all its derivatives would not exist as it does today without shabadoo and boogaloo shrimp.

i caught a bit of the rocky horror picture show last night. dudes in women's lingerie singing and groping each other in a pool is creepy as all hell. did not like.

That movie's main characters hardly break. There are shots of breakin but not really them. Plus MF'N Christopher McDonald is in it, that pretty much makes it a comedy.

You caught some of the movie on TV? Pointless, there are no AP lines there.
