[AtheistPreacher]

Haven't read the whole thread, but I just have this to say (I thought I'd posted it yesterday, but I guess I didn't):

A Fish Called Wanda.

Holy **** this thread has devolved.

Are we going foreign?

No. I only asked that because I wondered how far the tastes went of the people claiming there were no more "perfect" movies being made... Like music, film watching is not a lazy man's sport....hmmm, which reminds me.

I would recommend Old Boy to everyone. Has the most ridiculous twist I have ever seen in a movie.

Didn't know you like Asians. That's good.


Old Boy easily my top 10 movie of all time in terms of plot/twist/story.

I wonder what you "edited" out...

Like dem Korean movies. Japanese ish is usually to out there for me though.

"The Host" is also one of my top foreign movies.

I added the word "not" which I forgot.

Yes on Old Boy and Thirst. I think the Koreans put out some great movies...though not of the same genre, I really liked Mother. And Memories of Murder is great too. Let The Right One In was good. I have not heard of Casshern...added to my list.

Have you seen We Need To Talk About Kevin? ****. So damn good. Also, the Pusher trilogy is decent.

I can't stand the ending though... I know it's based on true story and they didn't want to deviate or make stuff up... but with it being so unresolved, I don't think it can be called "great".


I would also add "The Chaser" to your list.

The Usual Suspects

Keyser Soze is one of the top movie characters of all time.

Kind of fits in with our current conversation on how much it takes to make a movie perfect...this is a great and quick listen:

Um, you did post it yesterday, #125 in this thread:

I looked for it, because I wanted to see if someone had replied, and couldn't find it. I even searched for my username, and it didn't show. Bizarre...

I agree, but I wouldn't put this movie in the Perfect list if perfect means "raises your desire to watch it over and over again". I've tried to watch it the seconds time after years but it just isn't the same thing at all, knowing the ending.
