I'd like to now invoke the "Hudson Hawk Rule" to strike this comment from the record and further enjoin you from posting any other movie recommendations. The court also recommends that you be remanded to the Gulag for "re-education" regarding good taste in movies. :p

Bourne Identity(rent)/Supremacy(cinema)

Stephen King's the Langoliers is a good movie to watch for the crap of it.

Hackers is an old 80s movie about teenage "hackers" that's fun to make fun of.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

Old Sam Kinison stand-ups

Old Robin Williams stand-ups

Eddie Murphy stand-up (Raw)


That's just some random stuff I thought of.

I've seen Snatch. How's the other one? It was out on 1998, why haven't I heard of it?

I didn't care for it. My wife liked it, though. I thought Snatch was much better.

Did your mother refuse to breastfeed you when you were a child?

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is A LOT like Snatch, and if I'm not mistaken it was also directed by Guy Ritchie. Snatch was better imo.

No, but I understand your mother thought paint chips were part of a healthy diet when you were a child. :p

Clockwork Orange seems good but it seems bit too old ('71) and I don't want to be swayed away because of that....

Is it worth watching?

a clockwork orange is far from 'boring'.

but if you think older movies are 'boring' then it might not be for you. there isnt quick camera cuts, shakey cam or products being sold.

but there is a great deal of violence.

Vanilla Sky. If you hate Tom Cruise that much go watch the original, Abre los Ojos.

American Beauty. You should have already seen it, but if you haven't you need to.

The Usual Suspects.

Death to Smoochy.

Z. It's a film by Costa Guarves(sp?). Very good.

A Handmaid's Tale.

It has ultra-violence in it. It has Milk-Plus in it. It was originally rated-X.

More info...

Heat is good, some nice action (great bank robbery!) and de niro is always cool. I recommend it
