on an epicly arty and utterly amazing tip

This Swedish "operatic visual poem" blew my fucking mind last night. So so so so good. Bleak, pessimistic humor and beauty.



*edit - oh yeah the English translation of the title is "Songs From The Second Floor" the director is Roy Andersson and that is pile of crucifixes on the ground behind the fat guy in the trench coat who has two of the tacky symbols in his hand.
And it won the special jury prize at Canne in 2000, but don't hold that against it.

i had to download a really shitty transfer of it, but it was still really good.  I wish they'd release a decent affordable version on DVD.

Call me crazy but Vanilla Sky blew my mind, it was long, a bit dragged out, but it was one of the most obscure and creative films ive ever seen. Im glad i watched it, im also glad i went into it thinking it was going to suck.

agreed, i picked it up a few years ago in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart not expecting much. pretty much hate tom cruise in general, but i don't understand how it could have picked up all these shitty reviews.. pretty good soundtrack too.

actually was a spanish film first called "Abre Los Ojos" -- Open Your Eyes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/

dammit, now i might have to pop this movie in.. haven't viewed it in forever.

the mole on her tit??? freaking very good movie in my eyes as well, i thought the concept was cool as fuck and the ending didn't leave me hanging that much really... my mind wanders to this movie often, sometimes makes me think of the jacket or eternal sunshine... which both of those movies kick ass as well.

it had its moments for sure, but looking at it as a whole, the whole alien skull, city of gold, advanced civilization, space ships and all that garbage. Killed it.

Shia La Beouf was very sick in it, guys gonna have a long career

Some parts were a bit much, but it was a good popcorn summer flick.

fire starter was on AMC last night....drew barrymore was so cute back then!
granted the special effects leave much to be desired but i liked the movie nonetheless.
i might even go as far to say a remake or sequel wouldn't be so bad.

definitely agree that remakes tend to suck but the lack of special effects in the old one leaves a lot of room for improvement.  i.e.  like how she just conjured up some fireballs out of thin air?  a sequel could be badass if done correctly and they get the right director to do it.  they could even go as far as to cast drew barrymore again but this time as a half naked fire vixen.

hells yeah!  princess bride is on my top 20 list for sure i mean andre the giant is in it.
that alone makes/made this movie awesome.

The trailer looked good. I was going to catch it in theatres but it wasn't playing anywhere near me.

It's good

Yeah, I heard it (In Bruges) was good too. I just watched Starter for 10 which was really enjoyable,predictable, but good none the less.

i saw it. it was like a scarier, less psychotic and less witty Funny Games but not as good. but still good in its own right.
