I loved the movie Cadence with Charlie and Martin Sheen. If someone already listed that one, sorry. However, I love love love that movie. Charlie Sheen in an army (or was it marine) prison for getting tattoos on his hands. Martin Sheen determined to break him and quite a crazy bastard... Damn, I haven't seen it in a while, gonna have to watch it again!

I loved the movie RUSH with Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh. It was about two undercover narcs who - in their line of work - become addicts themselves.

Agree with Running Scared. I didn't expect much having Paul Walker in it to be honest. Yes I find him hotter than hot but not particularly a great actor. This movie changed my perception of him. I don't think he will win any Oscars soon but he has come so far from Fast and Furious that's for sure.

Gosh, cannot think of any others. Theres a TON of movies that I love that I think every single person should love too, but thats a different thread.

After Picnic at hanging rock, that is Peter Wier's masterpiece

Truman show and Dead Poets were OK too

Loved Robert Altmans Popeye, and Spielburgs 1942

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. that movie's been totally forgotten since it came out and it's brilliant. really smart and funny. gary oldman and tim roth at their best.

Sorry sputnik, but R&G R D was too close to shakespeare in love - tom stoppard had peaked b/w the two. If only it was a jigsaw puzzle and had production values - then cast Katie Holmes (as a boy,as bill shakes would have wanted it) and Robert De Niro. Well - simple, no brainer Katie Oscar triumphant thanking aliens and............aliens ....and aa..(line)

You are right R&G R dead is brilliant (Tom Stoppard you will be my bitch in hell) Im just being rambunctious

i'm not sure what you mean in the first part of your post especially the katie holmes - deniro part but it sounds like you think shakespeare in love came before R&G? which is wrong since it was originally a play and the movie's from 1990 but i think i might have misunderstood.
