cult movies...

by Trevize • 21 Nov 2008, 12:24 • Journals
I am in need of very good movies, with great storyline.

Just to shoot some example:

Donnie Darko
Requiem For A Dream
The Butterfly Effect
The Invisible
Trainspotting

Dont need action or anything shit... but fun is welcome too. like:

Dude, Where Is My Car?
Roadtrip
Eurotrip

Dont name me movies you see once and to the other day you forgot what
it was about... So only great MUST SEE films.

Thanks in advance!

try "snatch" or "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", two very good english movies, who are quite funny imo.
"Blow" is very nice too
"the usual supsects" ofc, great storyline
Good dramas: "City of God", "Schindlers List"
"equilirbium" is a must see too imo, although its more of an action movie
will add more when they come to my mind
fight club and pulp fiction ofc, like others mentoined alrdy
if you like vietnam movies: "Apocalypse Now" (one of the best movies ever imo), "Full metal Jacket" and "Platoon" are also great

Fizmo1337 21 Nov 2008, 12:45
Yea. Well, it's already a while I saw it but I thought I had a quite good feeling about it afterwards. It's not in my top 10 movies or something but I thought it was quite interesting. Fora lot it's a boring movie and I can understand it but for a lot if u can get 'into' the story it is a good movie.

El Maquinista http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361862/
not really a cult movie but one where you have to think about what happened and why it happened. in that aspect it reminds me a bit of donny darko. it's a bit weird, too (what do you expect if it is about someone who hasn't slept in ages).

the usual suspects http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114814/
another movie where a lot of stuff happens and it solves in the end. you watch it and at some time you are just like "that's it, I solved the case!".

in my opinion this type of movies is more rewarding as you are not watching it idly but have to think about and get some sense of accomplishment when you understood it.

yeh i thought the imagery was stunning, the soundtrack was great and so was the character development

alot of people dodge it because it's set in space, which is a shame because it really is a fantastic movie. and im no sci-fi fan

As for comedy, anything from Kevin Smith is awesome.
