Just watched District 13 (violent French film), most enjoyable.
Saw Skeleton Key the other day, looked like it was gonna be shit but it was actually proper scary....
Anyway, a general list of quality films:
Pi
City of God
Fong Sai Yuk
Battle Royale
Cube (& Hypercube)
Would try & think of more but my brain's hurting now!!

Wow, for as good as this list is Im really suprised not to see this so far..

some more on my list
Office Space
Transformers (original cartoon)
Pi
Super Troopers
Half Baked (it is a 'dope' films list right?)

Requim for a Dream
Ski School (a guilty pleasure, arguably one of the worst movies made)

Beatlejuice
More if I can think of them, Im drawing a huge blank right now...

GHOST DOG
28 DAYS LATER
and of late...
IDIOCRACY (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/)
which i think only showed in NY & LA then shtraight to dvd. this film makes a lot of fun of corporations, so i think they didn't get the corporate backing that makesmany films possible. interesting what happens when the invisible hand of corporate sponsorship is removed from the equation

watching radio days on demand right now... i knew that little kid looked like seth green so i had to look it up, weird
Parson wrote:have you seen sweet and lowdown?
one of my favorites. any music lover should be able to appreciate it.
radio days is a similar format, but more charming and less quirky
shadows and fog is one the most slept on gems

Watched Sleepers last night, amazing film i laughed all the way through and i never laugh when im watching a film on my own, hardly at all actually.
I'm sure i've watched Woddy Allen films before, but i didnt notice. Anything else along these lines?
Also watched Dog Days, austrian film, kinda strange but i liked this girl who spent the day(s) asking for lifts listing top 10s to everyone, and calling them old n that. proper jokes.
