-Great choices indeed. What do you think of Edward Scissorhands, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Blood Diamond, City of God, Children of Men and The Truman Show?
Sorry I know the list is too long :D
but specially Children of Men is a movie I really liked and almost everyone else disagreed with me when we saw it, which reminds me, "Derailed" for Clive Owen is great too.
City of God was a very good film and more importantly you actually cared about the characters. Derailed was terrible,a poor clone of many better thrillers that preceded it...sorry.
The Truman show is a modern masterpiece in that is highlights the unhealthy obsession we have with voyeurism masquerading as television
edward Scissorhands? gotta love Tim Burton

the others i haven't seen


-I love Ed Norton acting, even in Kingdom of Heaven when he was just a voice under a mask he was still amazing
In the Godfather trilogy the 1st is the best for sure, but I just love watching De Niro in the 2nd part, he was way beyond amazing
There's also Scent of a Woman, not one of my favourite movies but Al Pacino deserved that Oscar completely
Norton for a few years there made some absolutely excellent fils and put in some excellent performances,Primal Fear,American History X,Fight Club were alll excellent while The Score,red Dragon,Kingdom of heaven were average films but he was immense whenever he was on screen.

De Niro deserved that Oscar for the Godfather part 2 and it was a brave decision taking on such an iconic role from Brando but it paid off massively.

on current for i have to say De Caprio is proving all my cynicism wrong and proving himself to be a terrific actor or surprising range

You're missing a lot if you don't see "Eternal Sunshine..." , It's definitely Jim Carrey's best, always liked him in comedy but never thought he'd be that good in a serious role, for sure his best performance, and a fantastic movie

Primal Fear :tup:
You know what, I think the same of Di Caprio, like most of us I knew him from Titanic and couldn't stand his guts of course, then I saw The man in the iron mask -good movie- and a lot of others and he kept always impressing me (the aviator, inception, blood diamond, the departed, revolutionary road, catch me if you can, and I'm yet to see shutter island)
but I think he was best at What's Eating Gilbert Grape, it's also one of my top 5 favourite movies, I think he deserved an Oscar for that

Do it. I'd love to talk about it to someone :D
I've seen Mullholland Drive. The ending doesn't make sense.
Oh, it does make sense, you literalists. You have :google: ... figure it out and don't take it so literal. The movie pivots on perceptions of reality from different perspectives.

City of God was a very good film and more importantly you actually cared about the characters.
Another of my all time favorite flicks. I remember the first time I saw it in a theater, I left feeling like I just ate 17 Dove bars. But everytime I come across it and pick it up, mid-movie, I cannot stop watching it.

None of it makes sense.
Some of it does. You have to try and understand the timeline and determine which parts are dreams. I felt the ending didn't answer anything though.

Whatever

I did, but even then.. Perhaps you're right and it's just that the ending is nonsensical.

And if you have time to read all 6 pages on the Drive:

Speaking of Señor Lynch, inspired by Snoop, I watched the 8-times-Oscar-nominated The Elephant Man recently. Yes, you'd be shocked that the executive producer was an uncredited (for obvious reasons) Mel Brooks. Sublime acting and great visuals. Marred only perhaps where I have to agree with our favorite drooling movie thespian and former lesbian look-alike, Roger Ebert, when he said the movie failed to tell the human story beyond a layer of cloying sentimentality.

Just that, it's one of those movies that don't make sense either. Well it does, but only up to a certain point. It's probably made that way to make you leave with a confused feeling.

And to stimulate hundreds of internet web sites trying to figure it out.
