M is fucking awesome, but Metroplois is just an absolutely incredible, orignal, and eye-opening watch. To me, this is where tolerable Sci-fi films began. It still shocks me to this day how Lang was able to formulate such a future. Sure, the bi-planes flying around the skyscrappers doesn't make a whole lot of sense now adays, but watching his vision is just a fascinating experience to me. Sure, M had sound, but Metropolis (IMO) had a bigger impact on movie-making from it's point in time going forward.

The A-Team was pretty awesome. Also, Murdoc=Ellis from L4D2.
More importantly,
Murdoc = Wikus Van Der Merwe from District 9. I hope this guy gets more screen-time in stuff, he is a REALLY good actor. When you see him go to his Johannesburg accent in the movie is awesome.

Oh crap, really? Awesome.

Weird list. a bunch of really violent movies, and then 8 1/2 (perhaps my favorite movie of all time).
of other awesome foreign films, i would recommend: Delicatessen, city of lost children, Le Samurai, breathless, band of outsiders, elevator to the gallows, the bicycle thief, Nights of Cabiria, seventh sea, ln the mood for love, any Kurosawa but in particular "high and Low" and "ikiru", etc etc.
More french new wave, more italian realism.

Great Chinese movie from Zhang Yimou before he didn't suck. I recommend any of his early stuff.
Saw The Girl Who Leaped Through Time yesterday.
Good clumsy-loser-gets-time-travel-and-exploits-it story. Turned into a bit of a chick flick near then end, but it was still pretty good. Anyone else see it?

Watched it about 3 years ago. Great snuggle flick.
just finished watching
this and have to say that it was a great love story. Though I was surprised at the lack of poetic justice, it makes it a more solid film and keeps a theme that was prevalent throughout the movie. WARNING: Do not watch it if you have a weak stomach (though it is not much worse than Saw).

Chris Rock + Remake? It worked for Down to Earth, right?

Rewatching "A Fish Called Wanda". I forgot how hot Jamie Lee Curtis was.

well, recently she has been selling yogurt that makes you poo.
It takes the edge off of her 80's and early 90's high points.
Lol, Totoro. Also, Toy Story 3 was amazing.
