well i want to watch a movie tonight to celebrate the end of my spanish exam...

but every time i go i always choose the wrong crappy movie and waste 7 bucks. I think the last good movie i saw was the Big Lebowski.

and sugestions besides, lock stock and 2 smoking barels, snatch or boondock saints. Have seen the 2 big epics too.

Get a bunch of people together, say you're renting a fun movie. Once they all settle in, pop in "Sophie's Choice"

The incredibles is pretty good, although I'm a daddy so I may have a different perspective of "good." If you're spending $7 on renting videos you might as well go see them on the big screen.

Your first three are possible three of the worst movies ever made, all of which star perhaps the worst actor ever.

Try...

Any Coen Brothers
Band of Brothers is great if youve got 10 hours
Magnolia
Any Wes Anderson
Resovoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction
LA Confidential

funny movies
Zoolander :D
The Sandlot
some Coen brothers (not fargo)
High Fidelity (good date movie)

... for starters

There's thousands of great movies out there, you just have to not listen to advice like that given in the post I just quoted. Cheap, unrealistic, overproduced BS is cinematic masturbation... it tides you over, but it just aint the real thing.

Nicholas Cage has done a few good movies. Not saying I would count "Con Air" or the others on that list among them. I mean, seriously, aren't all those movies made by the king asshat himself, Jerry Bruckheimer?

i cant stand nicholas cage at all. I think the best movie i saw this year was 'lost in translation.' or maybe this really good german flick 'goodbye stalin'

Yes they are. Adapatation is probably his best movie, but I chalk that more up to the director (Being John Malkovic, Eternal Sunshsine of the Spotless Mind) that to good old Nick himself. His new movie "National Treasure" looks like a real turd sandwich, produced by Schuckhiemer himself.
