Agree about the Solondz flicks... House of Yes annoyed the hell out of me.Love both of these, especially Welcome to the Dollhouse. But at the same time, Happiness (by Solondz) is one of my most-hated movies of all time.House of Yes (IParker Posey)Welcome to the Dollhouse (uncomfortably hilarious from Todd Solondz)

I'm not into soccer or fighting, but I really liked it. Everyone has their own taste, I guess.

By the way, some here have seen Murderball. But I need to pimp this movie more. About disabled wheelchair sports.

Binky The Doormat

Agreed. It is one of my top five movies (non-hardcore comedy - though its pretty dam funny). I didn't mention because it was such an awarded movie - at least cast anyway ...do we think that FBGs haven't seen this movie? BTW - for anyone who hasn't - its a must see.jdoggydogg said:

Over the Edge
1979 flick with a young Matt Dillon about a group of suburban teenagers who get sick of their conformist parents, trap them all in the school auditorium, and riot through the town.
Sounds cliche, but it was very well done.

I have to post this review I just wrote in the Recently Viewed Rental thread:
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Wow. What an awesome movie. I loved it. One of the best movies I've seen in years. If you read the description of the movie, you may get turned off. A French-language movie about a guy fully paralyzed by a stroke doesn't sound sexy. But this is fresh, vibrant, funny, touching work. Outstanding. Huge thumbs up.

Encyclopedia Brown

I thought it was an okay movie, though Martin was miscast.Only one film of his have I found unwatchable: Oleanna.William H. Macy and some frizzy haired girl arguing gender politics--and then he beats the crap out of her at the end.

Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman and the dude who shot himself in "Dead Poet's Society".
It takes place entirely in a hotel room, and centers around whether Thurman had been raped by "Dead Poet's" guy ten years earlier.

Happy Accidents (2000): Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. I'm a sucker for anything with time-travel in it. Weird love story that was done pretty well. Also has a great cameo by Anthony Michael Hall.
Gloomy Sunday (2003): Good WWII film based around the legend of the song "Gloomy Sunday" being dubbed the "Hungarian suicide song", and love triangle (square?) between a restaurant owners wife, a pianist and a SS officer in Budapest.
City of Hope (1991): John Sayles flick that was my first experience with the film making style that was made popular by movies like "Short Cuts" and "Crash", where the storylines are all inter-connected.

Sleepers - 1996- Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro. After a prank goes disastrously wrong, a group of boys are sent to a detention center where they are brutalized; over 10 years later, they get their chance for revenge.
One on One - 1977 - Robby Benson. Story of a high school basketball phenom who wins a scholarship to a big time college program only to learn that life is bigger than the sport he loves. When he fails to meet the expectations of his coach he fights to keep the scholarship his coach wants to take away. "School supplies"
They Call Me Trinity - 1971 - One of a few spaghetti western films starring Terrence Hill. My Name is Nobody, Trinity is Still My Name are other fun movies of the same genre.

Good one, I always love recommending it for people looking for something different. Some good ole fashioned cannibalism to some nifty banjo music. Neal McDonough's best role.

Most of mine have been mentioned (Hard Candy, SLC Punk, Run Lola Run, Oldboy, The Football Factory, Metropolitan, Layer Cake, et al), so I'll add:
Prospero's Books
Léon: The Professional
Hamlet (version with Kenneth Brannagh)
Probably not esoteric enough, but good flicks.

Love the final fight in Gladiator with Cuba Gooding Jr vs Brian Dennehy. Dennehy's tactics of headbutting every punch Gooding tries to throw are classic!
They're under the guns . . .
