Your Movie
 

I think that all of us have a large selection of movies that we love, cherish, and recommend to our friends and family. But there are particular movies to which we are uniquely attached. Ones that we really want everyone to see, understand and appreciate as much as we do.

I want to hear about the one movie that you wish the entire world could appreciate, love and enjoy as much as you do. I'd love to hear a convincing argument as to why this movie is so great and one that I must watch. Now, we are not necessarily looking for obscure movies, but at least ones that are not uber-popular (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars). However, controversial-popular ones or niche-popular ones are good grounds for a pick (Boondock Saints, Brokeback Mountain, or my example below).

My pick is the Village. It drives me nuts that people don't see this movie for what it really is, and that is a most artfully-crafted movie. Bryce Dallas Howard was absolutely amazing and so stunningly innocent. The acting was brilliant between Bryce, Joaquin, and the uber-long shots that are nearly whole scenes. The camera work was masterful with colors and detail with unique viewpoints. The music is some of the most beautiful violin soundtrack work ever. I mean, I could go on and on. I really hope and wish that people could appreciate this for more than a "spooky" movie or "surprise" flick. It really is a dramatic piece of motion picture art. So check it out.

When I was about thirteen I went over to a friends house to watch some movies and we ended up finding a copy of The Gamers somewhere in her trailer. I don't know why, but we watched it. I don't have a copy myself anymore D: its one of those low-budget, awesomeness movies that is...awesome.
Basically it's these guys playing Duegons and Dragons, and it flicks back to them playing it, to them dressed as their characters throughout the story. It's a comedy, and well done. As to one of the guys characters being afraid of water-and they need to cross this river. So they think, let's just put him out of conciousness, so we can drag him across the river and then wake him up on the other side. So they unequip EVERYTHING, and then roll to see if they get enough damage to put him out, and they get the ONE number to kill him. There's also the part where the orc (or the really strong guy, i forget) goes to lift this gate open and he gets the one number so where he fails horribly D:. then the skinny little elf guy goes to open the door and gets to open it with the one number he needed to roll. "It's all in the legs."
wah~ i love that movie.
