The Machinist. Again, kinda main stream but amazing. It kinda reminded me of Memento (another really good one) cuz you don't really know what going on until they want you to.

newport south is good. and there is a movie that i cant remember the name of but i watched it 3 or 4 times in the time i rented it. it is about these guys who find a crashed plane with a bunch of money in it. the greed eventually drives one character to kill the other 2 characters and one of there wives and stage it like a double homicide suicide. another good one is mystic river but you have to pay attention because it does unannounced flash backs.

"the city of lost children" fits perfectly under the title of this thread. it's maybe one of the weirdest films i've ever seen. those crazy frenchies. but it's a really good movie. just weird. ron perlman, who played hell boy, is in it.

umm waking life is good too, and whoever said A Clockwork Orange is right on about it being one of the most messed up movies and books of all time

over vacation i was thriving on the other thread like this and rented like 4 of the best recommended movies

donniedarko
requiem for a dream
fightclub
vanillasky - it was ok, but the ending just kinda told you everything at once.

tomrorow is supposed to be a snowday (it better fucking be) so ima get clockwork orange.

those movies are so good.

that was mainstream but good. i saw an IMAX version. fucking intense. my friend's dad is named like Anthony (or somehting like that i dunno) Stack. he does documenteries and we get some weird shit. there was one about these dudes from manhatten in the 80s who filed their teeth, drank blood, and put hooks through the cartilage of their knees to hang on the ceiling.
