Have you seen the movie the Coen Bros. made before that, Blood Simple? It's kickass.

I love the first four you named, but I thought Brotherhood of the Wolf was one of the most god-awful pieces of filmmaking I'd ever seen in my life. And some of the worst CGI ever.

What is wrong with popular american movies?
Let me guess, it is too dumb for your sophisticated tastes correct?
Old Boy sucked by the way.
My saw Audition the other day which was pretty good. It had an excellent build-up for a good horror movie, but the ending sorta sucked. Oh well. Nothing beats the horror classic, Rosemary's Baby. My favorite of all time.

I just recently rewatched The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou and was blown away. I'm an avid film-lover/filmmaker and I am in awe of the magic Wes Anderson creates when he works. And by the way Loon, your movie posts will never go ignored again!

if you cant make the effort to articulate anything beyond *sucked* then, with your obvious intelligence, you should be able self-censor and realize that you have nothing interesting, informed or reasonable to say.

Basketball Diaries is a good call... best performance I've seen out of Leo.
IMDB describes Raising Arizona as:
"When a childless couple of an ex-con and an ex-cop decide to help themselves to one of another family's quintupelets, their lives get more complicated than they anticipated."
Nicholas Cage plays the ex-con, (excellent performance by Cage... but then, he is usually quite good.) Holly Hunter is the ex-cop. The movie has the Coen Brothers' surreal-esque feel... hard to describe, but they use surrealism very lightly so that it seems VERY outlandish, but never impossible.
Most people either LOVE their movies, or don't get them at all. If you liked The Big Lebowski, O Brother! Where art Thou?, or The Ladykillers, this is a must see classic by the same creators.

The Castle and Chopper should be available in any ha;f-assed video store throughout Canada, and metropolitan US. How about *he died with a fallafel in his hand* did you dig that?

How to sound like a poser.
Step 1: If anyone expresses a taste in anything well known, or "mainstream", make sneery comments about how limited their tastes must be.
Step 2: Watch at least one foreign movie that you can bring up so you sound like you know what you're talking about. Don't worry! Lots of them are just like the usual american movies you watch now, only with subtitles.

The Castle was a good movie. My dad just got a bunch of Kurosawa DVDs, so I've been watching those. Great movies.
...anything by Wes Andersen, the Coen brothers, or written by Charlie Kaufman is good (anyone ever see Human Nature? It flopped, but it's a pretty good movie. Not his best, but worth seeing).

I seen the movie: Subconscious Cruelty,once.
Its a masterpiece in my opinion.
I am really pissed it's not available in Canada (the land that procreated this movie) or United States.
Seen it once in theater, the movie was passing in town for a festival and I never seen it again. A non-censored version came out about 2 or 3 month ago in England and Australia.
Can't find it on internet either and it's not because I didn't search for it.
Beside this theres plenty of great movies to my list a lot from Takeshi Miike and David Lynch.
Audition Visitor Q Eraserhead Lost Highway Blue velvet
Battle royal Battle royal 2
Pi Johny Darko Yellow submarine Kung fu hustle
There's too many that comes to my mind to list them all. One thing is sure I can't make a top 5 of my favorite movies.
If anyone here have access to Subconscious cruelty please leave me a pm. The only way I could get it is from Ebay and these guyz ask a little fortune for it.
