The Holy Mountain. Whenever I'm watching a Jodorowsky film I feel like I'm watching that tape in The Ring, and soon I will get a phone call telling me that my life has been forever altered.
Ahk, what you're talking about sounds a lot like the latest Terry Gilliam movie, Tideland. Sounds great.

This isn't set in stone, but the one that comes to mind is The Usual Suspects. Great movie. The story just seems to fall into place. Good writing and character development.
For those who haven't seen it, it's about Kaiser Soze, a legendary criminal. He manipulates a crew of gangsters and thieves (that he brought together in a very sly manner)to do his dirty work. Many events happen in the movie with the characters not understanding what's really going on, but everything ties together in the end. It's the kind of film you have to watch a few times to catch everything.
As far as comedies go, I'd have to say either Big Lebowski or 40 Year Old Virgin.
40 year old virgin is a hilarious movie. One of my top 10 probably (I haven't order my movies very well). I have a few feel good movies that I enjoy for comedy that do not hold any huge critical acclaim at all: Joe Vs. the Volcano Ground Hog's Day L.A. Story Action movies: Matrix Lord of the Rings Full Metal Jacket' Fight Club Pirate of the Caribbean Drama: Bicentennial Man Contact Breakfast Club Slacker: Clerks American Pie (not slacker, but teen so close enough) My Top 5: 1 L.A. Story 2 Varsity Blues 3 Batman Begins 4 Joe Vs. the Volcano 5 Bicentennial Man I enjoy watch movies and want to see more, but when it comes to my favorite it has more to do with how many times I will sit through the same movie again and again. I loved Usual suspects, but after seeing it 2 or 3 times, I was done (yet with fight club I can still watch it again and again). Some of the great movies of all time are, well, great, but I have to be in a certain mood to want to watch them. My top 5 consists of movies that, if they were being shown on TV, I will get the DVD and watch it from the beginning without commercial interruption. Sorry for the long winded post, just picking a favorite movie requires more than just a name of a movie for me. |

Hey mic, I don't want to sound racist, but why do all black dudes like Scarface? Every single black guy whose house I've stepped in has either that movie sitting on top of his dvd player, or a poster in his room. Actually, my last roomate was black and he had that poster in our living room. What is with that movie? |

Consider the history and hopefully that should make sense. |

It's a classic and it's really quotable for one, even though most of the people in the movie are white or hispanic. "You think you can fuck with me! Well say hello to my little friend!!" |

I want to see Clockwork Orange someday,,, hopefully it won't be that bizarre so i will turn it off...
300, was quite a comedy where (supposedly) Greeks spoke with Scottish accents and Persians were combination of drag queens and monsters,,, i don't think even Frank Miller's wild imagination could do that,,, anyway i like Miller's Hellspawn better hopefully someday there would be quality movie of it,,, Rodriguez comes in mind,,, he like all that odd stylish stuff,,,
Snyder still needs to get into real movies from commercials or clips he was doing before

It's not really that bizarre. Watch it. Or else. |
