Mind Blowing Movies

[DoubleRainbow]

...along with Children of Men (my favorite movie)...

.

Seems like we share our favorite movie.

On topic I still think Gangs Of New York is a timeless classic. And Reign Over Me actually made me cry.(well not exactly cry but there were tears...)

Pleasantville. So many underlining messages in it.

V for Vandetta. Just shows that people are sheep. They follow V, a person they know absolutely nothing about who demands that they follow him into battle, in a battle against the government which is comprised of people they know absolutely nothing about. Add that V, which complaining about the government being immoral TORTURES a innocent woman to prove a point. Gah

Except not.

The entire movie they show that the people are not happy with the totalitarian goverment and their forced religion. They felt small and powerless as individuals, but found a voice in one person willing to do something about the goverment. They followed an ideal, the twist was the ideal was pretty much bullshit with the plan to take down the goverment done for revenge and not for the betterment of the people. A good dead done for bad reasons, then in typical bullshit cop out ending he has a change of heart buys his line and decides it is for the people to decide. By that he means the women he indoctrinated to his cause. The torture aspect had nothing to do with proving his point. In his own twisted way he was attempting to help her be the stronger person she wished to be. Besides I think there is a fine line between torture and systematic poisoning of tens of thousands of people, along with the concentration camp style testing grounds where they tested on the population.

Edit: Need to watch Plesentville again but I remember it being good.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

One movie made me change the way how I look at life. Forrest Gump. It's the most epic movie EVARR!

Wall-e was certainly a gem in my eyes. Follow that with titles like Slumdog Millionaire and Aliens and quite a few others. But Wall-e was something special, truly a beautiful sight to behold.

Fight Club, The boondock saints

Boondock Saints and Fight Club.

Every time I watch Boondock Saints I wanna go kill some bad people

Damn i saw yours right before i clicked post... We're blood brothers

Would've expected someone to have Fight club and someone to have Boondock Saints, but both and nothing else, thats awesome. Wanna go kill bad guys?

"And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

Let's do it

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I'll go with Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, as I had never before (and after) seen something so horrible, yet so fantastic.

 

[Mykonos]

The Life Aquatic

 

[Naeo]

Brazil- totally ludicrous, very Juvenalian satire. Dark and creepy but awesome.
Eraserhead- I just don't know what to say. Very little dialogue, but extremely interesting.
Ran- just amazing.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

Equilibrium was "cool"...but I saw past the Hollywood bull.

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly
Seven Samurai
Reservoir Dogs (been a while, still awesome)

Other than that...I don't watch movies that much.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly . That Graveyard scene is just to awesome.

I love you guys.

I nominate Saving Private Ryan. D-day seen alone was incredible.

 

[lava_lamp]

Schindler's List
Rabbit Proof Fence

 

[Woburn]

I'll go with Kung Pao: Enter the Fist, as I had never before (and after) seen something so horrible, yet so fantastic.

Yes

You're up for the biggest job, theres only 6 million people in Denmark where i live, and a kinda low crime rate, and you're stuck with USA... At least you can legally get a gun, thats not possible in Denmark... guess i'll have to garrote them with guitar strings or something... but i'll come help once i'm done with Denmark.

 

[mcgooch]

Mind-blowing, eh....

I guess 2001: A Space Oddessey would be up there, along with Children of Men (my favorite movie).

Huh. I feel like there should be more, but nothing's coming to me.

Those two and Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs

 

[TheLastCylon]

The Big Lebowski, I was about six or seven when I saw it. (great parents, huh?) Those dream sequences still haunt me to this very day.

 

[RebelRising]

Army of Darkness, The Lord of the Rings, and most of the Kevin Smith movies, I would have to say.

There's actually a lot more, but I don't have the energy to list them all.
