i'm yet to watch it hoori, but i've been told it was a good movie.
Yes, I've read many excellent reviews on it.

Like 50 times. Cameron's wife totally kicked his ass, no matter what the Golden Gobblers say.
Ex wife :D

Can't wait to watch it.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest IMO.

And Taxi Driver..you'll either hate it.Or Love it.
Exactly.

Dusan, you'll love One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. You'll be amazed by The Usual Suspects and you'll find Taxi Driver boring. You can have my word about it.

I remember seeing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest but it was like 10 years ago. I know my mom liked it and she keeps talking about it. I'll rent it these days :tup:

I heard a lot of good things about The Usual Suspects, dunno why I didn't watch it yet. :sad:

Daxi Driver? Thanks but no thanks. I don't think I'd ever watch it.

Don't remember it. De Niro who drove a cab and then went on a killing rampage or something? Made no noticeable impression.
That's the one.

I think I’ll love it. When it comes to De Niro, I’m biased.
We SHOULD be biased when it came to De Niro :cool:

Fun Fact : Pacino was offered the role,but he refused it.He was also offered the role of Han Solo in Star Wars,but he turned that down too.

Come to think of it now,i can't really imagine Pacino in Star Wars,but he would have been oh-my-god orgasmic in Taxi Driver.

Wasn't really shit. It was alright, nothing special though. Denzel is one of the greatest actors of all time, but in this particular one, John Travolta was the star.

I thought I loved the movie when it got finished. It was twisting as hell and people normally love it when they are like :wth: at the end of such movies but watching The Usual Suspects for the second time, I didn't like it as much as the first time. Not that I don't like movies with twisted plots or twisted finales but I got the impression that this movie had only one purpose which was to have the audience shocked in the end of the movie. It was sure fun to watch and I enjoyed it a lot but IMO, it had nothing much to say/do rather than misleading those who watch it in any way possible.

The great thing about The Usual Suspects is that it was produced back in 1995 when mystery films were all boring and always had the same kind of twists and story line. This one has destroyed the entire mystery films genre for years to come. Maybe you didn't like it so much because you watched a recent similar kind of movie before watching it.

Memento is another great one. You should watch it.
