There have been a lot of "best" movie threads recently. What are some movies you've seen that were good, but didn't last too long (sorry, Showgirls doesn't count)? If anyone hasn't seen Diggstown with James Woods and Louis Gossett Jr., it's worth a rental. ------------------
Gandhi ------------------ SUCK POLICE!!!!!! To point out individuals or teams that have managed to reach the pinnacle of SUCKINESS!!!!! ----- JAZZ SUCK!!!!!!!
The Omega Code , Came out 2 years ago , Made by Trinity Broadcasting Network , Not a bad Movie , Stars Casper Van Dien and Michael York ------------------ "Its a good thing they don't make posters of European players" -Walt Williams after getting "posterized" by Zan Tabak .
Verse -- The Red Violin was excellent!! I loved that movie!! It's too bad it didn't get more run in the media, etc., b/c it's among the best movies I've ever seen. ------------------ "Any answer that can't be questioned is no answer at all. It's gibberish.

My favorite movie ever is Gattaca. It didn't do well in the theaters, and I never heard any hype about it, but it never fails to inspire me to strive for greatness. ------------------ "Of course, everything looks bad if you remember it!" Homer Simpson
"The Cook, the Thief, his wife and her lover" "The Name of the Rose" ------------------ 'Deeds, not words, shall speak me.'
mc mark - The Cook... ugh! "Try the c*ck. It's delicious." Some of the worst lines of all time came from that film. Plus, that scene in the back of that putrid fish truck. Ick, but I digress. Six Degrees of Separation - Will Smith was amazing. The Razor's Edge - really interesting film with a surprising performance by Bill Murray Barcelona - very cool film by the director of Metropolitan which is also very good. Two documentaries worth every penny of the rental: Trekkies - absolutely hilarious Unzipped - about fashion designer Isaac Misrahy - hysterical. ------------------ I am very very sleepy.
Pi This is the movie in the black movie cover with the Pi symbol on it that you see in the Blockbuster "New Release" section. Weirdest movie I've ever seen (not as weird as 2001, but close), but very, very good, imo. . . but it's too weird for lots of people. ------------------ "Any answer that can't be questioned is no answer at all.

sorry, bobrek, i have to post my answer in a separate, individual thread.... it was that phenomenal. ------------------
I know I've posted this before but I like Things to do in Denver when you're Dead.Also if you like trippy white trash movies check out Love and a .45 it's a freaky roller coaster ride from start to finish.I'll try to think of more later. ------------------ Now chew through my ball sack
A movie that I always liked but no one ever agreed with me about is The Ref with Dennis Leary and Kevin Spacey. I dont know, i guess i get a kick out of dysfunctional families during the christmas time, reminds me of my family. ------------------ Never judge a man unless you walk a mile in his shoes, that way when you do judge him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.

If you get a chance to see Dancer in the Dark w/ Bjork... do it. It's great. Vengeance, Pi was a sundance film a few years ago. Mainstream America hasn't recognized the greatness of Pedro Almadovar, but if you see any of his films you'll be better for it. Oh yeah, Lovers on the Bridge was pretty good. But then again, Juliette Binoche is hot. ------------------ We're going to stay together until something happens, if something happens. - Sidney Lowe on Shareef's career in Vancouver.
"Run Lola Run". A brilliant German film. Puts other "thrillers" to shame. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
Achebe -- Yeah, Pi was runner-up or something for best film of that festival. It's hard to find, but <a href="http://www.pithemovie.com">pithemovie.com</a> is still up. ------------------ "Any answer that can't be questioned is no answer at all. It's gibberish.

Saw this, very good movie. Phenomenon with Travolta was a very good movie. Pretty sad. How about Galaxy Quest ? HIlarious. ------------------ "We don't have any plans. We just plan to win." Mack Brown
The Red Violin was brilliant... also check out, Heavenly Creatures (w/Winslet) Stir of Echoes (w/Bacon) Bowfinger (I thought this was hilarious) 12 Monkeys ------------------
