King Of New York

Not sure how well known this movie is, but I had never heard of it. Turned out to be really good crime movie with good story and even better cast (Christopher Walken, David Caruso, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, Steve Buscemi).

If you like violent and dark crime flicks check it out.

Ronin.....I never hear anything about it, but it was a great movie, if only for the car chases (the plot was kind "eh")

WHAT WAS IN THE FVCKING BOX?!?!
Umm...Ice skates?
Lol, I never thought of that before. I know what I'll be watching tomorrow night.

Caligula.

It's surprisingly good, given the rating. Of course, you'll want to get the unedited version ;) ...

You guys are naming a lot of very common movies.

Here's one, it's FRENCH... but it's good!

La Cité des enfants perdus

EDIT: Oh, another good movie: Irreversible

Irréversible

The acting and emotion in this movie was just so real... i believe every sequence was shot nonstop without any scene cuts or anything whatsoever (at least it seemed that way). And the rape scene was definitely the most realistic i've ever seen... it was just so disturbing.

Red Beard. It's fantastic. Bought it at Japan Town in SF for 42 bucks. I like Yojimbo and Sanjuro too. Harvey's fantastic, They may be Giants, the Day the Earth Stood Still, Being There, My Dinner With Andre

River's Edge - very cool weird movie about high school kids covering up a murder .. Awesome parts by Dennis Hopper and Crispin Glover (McFLy, Sr in Back To The Future) also a good part by Kaenu Reeves.

Angel Heart - awesome movie with Robert DeNiro as the Devil.. owns Devil's Advocate

The Decalougue - very cool "mini series" type film with one story based on each of the Ten Commandments. Totally not preachy, hovever. More of a focus on humanism and psychological emotion

Over The Edge - cool film about teenage rebellion in a small town. Matt Dillon's first role, I think.

Better Off Dead - hilarious 80's cult flick. "I want my two dollars!"

"My name is Emmanul Montoya, you killed my father prepare to die".

It's Inigo Montoya, not Emmanul. Where'd you get that from, it doesn't even sound that close.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means, what you think it means.
