And i need suggestions. Obviously must be out already on DVD or BD. I havent really purchased anything in the last little bit due to money so i would like to keep it recent if possible.

I like mostly action-adventure, Sci-fi and comedy and Crime drama/thriller stuff. I'll watch other genres but as with everything else it really has to be a superb movie or i lose interest. Fairly cynical and strict as far as qaulity goes.

Thanks in advance.

We need Jazz_Fan or Leonidas or Sammyjenkins or some other constant FAU'er on this thread!

But my recommendations:

2001: A Space Odyssey (or any Kubrick film)

Wall-E

Saving Private Ryan

The Godfather I and II

Toy Story 1 and 2

Gimme Shelter

no country for old men, miller's crossing, and fargo are all good crime dramas/thrillers. fargo has lots of excellent comedic moments in it and millers crossing can be amusing as well.

I just watched a few minutes of Ratcatcher and so far so good. :P A lot far shots in the distance as if someone is watching. I will go back to watching it, but I recommend depending on your money buy this movie. :P
