The ten best movies you've NEVER seen.

1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ( Kesey said the movie sucks, so i don't wanna see it. Plus Jack Nicholson Annoys the fuck outta me in most movies )
2. The Usual Suspects ( dislike Bryan Singer )
3. Memento ( only saw bits and pieces, seemed blah to me )
4. Sunset Blvd. ( never even heard of it before )
5. Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le ( Indie kids embracing this film like it's their child has turned me off from ever wanting to see it )
6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ( Jim carry has an awesome music taste, but i fuckin hate his movies. Plus Hipsters love this film. )
7. Untergang, Der ( never heard of it )
8. L.A. Confidential ( Can't tolerate Kim basinger )
9. The Departed ( Haven't been to the theater in about 4 years )
10. Million Dollar Baby ( no desire to see it as Clint will always be Blondie to me and i can't stand seeing act as a washed up old fogie ).

I'm kinda disappointed to see that alot of classics are never viewed by alot of people. Jesus fuckin christ. No wonder Cinema these days is a cesspool of pure shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That isn't entirely true. I like some movies that are embraced by indie kids like wes anderson films and fulci films. From previews, indie hyping and word of mouth helped determine that such movies like Amélie and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind aren't my cup of tea. Then again are tastes are completely different in nearly everything and you probably think stuff that i enjoy like Kinski/Herzog and Kar Wai Wong are pure shit.


I also don't see how many people don't care for City of God. It was probably one of the best movies i've seen in the past 5 years.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It really didn't appeal to me at all - I just saw a washed up point.

What did you find appealing about it? I would appreciate it if you could tell me so maybe I can appreciate something MORE in the film. =/

I personally loved the flow of the movie and how it all came together at the end as well as capturing the grittiness of life a hell of a lot better then most movies can. It also oozed more charm then any other movie i have seen in the past 5 years.

The scene with the kids and the shooting is still one of the most painful scenes for me to watch to this day.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
