I'd recommend the little-seen Brian DePalma film 'Blow Out'. It's a conspiracy thriller inspired by the overrated Antonioni film "Blow Up'. It's the best thing John Travolta has ever been in (if you don't count Kelly Preston :p). I also love Truffaut's 'Shoot the Piano Player'. I've seen it so many times I no longer have to read the subtitles.

Movies

Pulp Fiction= Best. Movie. Ever. Period. :D

I always loved Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman. A little weird but it definitely reminds me of growing up in the late 80's, early 90's! :D

Susan, it's the screen version of a Murakami novel with that title, which of course makes references to the song.

I refused to go see it because my vision of Murakami is much too personal to tolerate seeing it externalised in a movie. What I mean by that is probably similar to how some say it's better not to meet your heroes. :)

Speaking of John Wayne: one of my favourite movies is El Dorado. I just love Robert Mitchum in that movie, even though I suspect he was pretty much playing himself.

Susan, you just reminded me of a couple of classic Mitchums...
I never used to like him in the more modern things like Thunder Road, and some of the war stuff, but teriffic fun with a glass of wine is "The Big Steal", wild ride in Mexico chasing and being chased by bad guys. and
"Macao" exotic tough guy stuff with great dialogue---in both movies actually! :)

can't beat him in some of the film noirs..

Not to mention that he is pretty darned good looking.

To change the subject for a moment, I think the sexiest man in movies right now is Johnny Depp in his Pirates role: HOT!

In "real life" he does absolutely nothing for me.......

Virtually the only time I ever watch movies is on airplanes, and that not often. But on one of our flights at Easter I watched The King's Speech and thought it was fantastic.

Loved A King's Speech. I am a huge Helena Bonham Carter fan. Love when she gets to be funny/snarky.

I love movies. Here are some of my favorites:
Live From Baghdad - about how CNN was the only international news team reporting live in Baghdad when the bombing started. Excellent movie.

A Mighty Heart - although the book was better.
Snatch
Dodgeball
Anchorman
Easy A - "if I can keep the boys off the pipe and the girls off the pole, I get a bonus"!
Caddyshack - "so I got that goin' for me" LOL
Fletch
Zoolander
Almost Famous - great sound track
A Knight's Tale - great sound track

I am more of a comedy kind of girl, if you can't tell by movie selections.

The opening scene with the GTO cruising around with Sweet Emotion playing was a great opening scene.
