Stranger Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) What are some movies that you'd recommend that maybe a lot of others haven't seen? What are some movies you believe no one should see? Should Watch Code 46 A futuristic 'Brief Encounter', a love story in which the romance is doomed by genetic incompatibility. Sort of a low budget movie, in my opinion, but a pretty good movie nonetheless. Shouldn't Watch The Fourth Kind A thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up. I was excited to watch this movie, until at the beginning of the movie it proclaimed the events therein were real. Starts off good and ends with a fizzle. Feel free to add.

Stranger Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Watch Stone A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path. Strange movie, many may not like it. I'm an Edward Norton fan, so I enjoyed it. Watch Kalifornia A journalist duo go on a tour of serial killer murder sites with two companions, unaware that one of them is a serial killer himself. This movie was a complete mind fuck. Brad Pitt masterfully played his role of a sociopath. This move is a must see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Surveillance(I)(2008) was oen of the better movies I have seen in a while. Good stream of conscious/surreal movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409345/ Stranger 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Watch Detachment A substitute teacher who drifts from classroom to classroom finds a connection to the students and teachers during his latest assignment. This was one of the better movies I've ever seen. It really hits home about how tough school can be for teachers and students alike in bigger cities. Excellent movie. Don't watch The Day The Earth Stood Still A remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film about an alien visitor and his giant robot counterpart who visit Earth. Admittedly I never saw the original, but the previews made this out to be better than it really was. Not one of Keanu Reeves best. Watch A Scanner Darkly An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result. This was definitely a better role for Reeves. Good movie. Edited August 31, 2012 by Mr E S Stranger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Watch cabin in the woods. I'm not sure I'm much for slasher flicks. I could be wrong about it though. It got a pretty good rating on IMDB. 7.5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Watch House of 9 Nine strangers, with no apparent connection between them are abducted: drugged, kidnapped and sealed in a house together Sort of Saw-esque, but better.

Stan Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The Cabin in the woods is nothing you will expect, I for one watched it and from the previews thought it would be a slashflick, but boy was I wrong. It's a unique movie with so many twists and it's not a horror movie at all. A must watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
