I really liked Paycheck. Don't know why just did. I've seen it 4 times, and I never usually watch a movie more than twice, most of the times I dont even watch a movie a second time.

Must see:
Indiana Jones 4
Star wars 3
Batman Begins
Pirates of the Caribbean 2

How can you say these movies are classics that are a must see?

They haven't even been made/released.

Well this movies could be a MUST SEE - if you're really excided about watching them, but a classic???

Anyway - Rainwife and I just came back from watching the Untergang (no drinks or chats after this one). It's strong and suprisingly accurate. It does show Hitler (but even more then him the Göbles parents) as mad luncatics. Warm and friendly on one side (like a generous grandfather - who gives out candy to his favourite grandchils) but extremely ruthless on the other side (like a man who wishes to kill everybody that doesn't blindly obey him, is prepared to mark as traiter everybody who doubts his plans and marks everybody a traier who doesn't tell him his plans aren't achievable).
Strong movie - really strong!

I really like the movie Hackers. Most of the hacking stuff was hollywood but I still liked the storyline and the characters. Also is Pirates of Silicon Valley a good movie?

Agreements there. The movie is one of the best outside-USA movies I've seen actually, and something completely on its own. Most movies from WW2 are war movies with lots of fighting, blood, and explosions, but Der Untergang was something else... I can't put my finger on it right now, but it was genius. The actor who played Hitler even looked like the dictator himself! Fascinating to see how a strong leader-character like Hitler can just fall into a crazed state of desperation and paranoia like that...

Yeah, Der Untergang is a very good movie indeed. I came out of the theatre, feeling a mixture between disgust and pity. I would higly recommend that everybody watch this one if they get the chance, it's definitely different from most movies, and the acting is some of the best I've seen in a long, long while.

oh well...

Must see:

Kung Pow! Enter the Fist (The funniest movie I have ever seen!) :roflol:
From Dusk Till Dawn (I just don't know how to explain this one.)
The Incredibles (The most awesome computer animated movie ever!)
Papillon (Marvelous! Simply a masterpiece!)
Spartacus (Yet another masterpiece! One of the best movies ever to have been made!)

Movies I liked: k:

Evil Alien Conquerors (LOL! explains it best)
Dog Soldiers
Starship Troopers
Matrix 1&2
Ace Ventura 1&2 (Jim Carey the way he is supposed to be!)

Movies so horrible they should be illegal: :not_ok:

Pearl Harbour (Shove your american propaganda where the sun don't shine!)
The Ring (You call that a horror movie?)
Lord of the Rings 1 (It just sucks)
13 going on 30 (I can't believe I actually watched the whole thing!)
Matrix revolutions (They get me all worked up about the first two, and then they spit that out!!!! Horrible doesn't even come close to describe how much this movie sucks. Except for that single 10 sec. scene where Neo punches Smith in the face in bullet time.)

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Worst movies I have seen.

Romy and michelles highschool reunion
Anaconda
Les Divorce
Steal

Heh heh yep its a pretty good movie. Anthony Michael Hall really plays the part of Bill well not to mention Noah Wyle's part as Steve Jobs.

Be sure to check out the IMDB listings for it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122.

Also its worth mentioning now that the movie can be quite hard to get hold of. There has been no DVD release and the VHS is a pain in the behind to get hold of (who the heck uses VHS these days anyway?) I ended up downloading it via a torrent to re-watch after watching it on tv.

How could I forget about The Pianist by Roman Polanski? That was an excellent, and very touching movie.

The Pianist was veryvery good (saw it twice in the cinema and bought the DVD - and then another DVD just because I wanted my parents to see it and the first one I bought didn't have English subtitles), but I have seen much better films by other Polish directors.

For example Andrzej Wajda has made several excellent flicks that everyone ought to see. Especially "Man of Marble" and "Man of Iron" (Czlowiek z Marmuru & Czlowiek z Zelaza) were brilliant anti-socialist movies. The first one is about a young film-maker in the '70s who wants to make a documentary about a brick-layer who was a celebrated working-class hero after the war in the '50s, but who then disappeared all of a sudden. It shows how everything was controlled by the government, and how by the '70s the situation hadn't changed all that much.

The second one, "Man of Iron", continues where the first one ends, but focuses on the famous harbour strike in Gdansk (the exact one that started the downfall of socialism in Poland, and made Lech Walesa famous) and the uprisings there.

Both are excellent movies and definitely worth watching. The fact that both of them were made during the Polish socialist era (1977 and 1981) makes them even more impressive.

Almost all the others of Wajda's works are worth watching, too - except "Pan Tadeusz", which was an unfortunate flop.
