Did the film require a second try? Or did you like it the first time?
I remember it took me three tries to finally like it a lot -- I'm glad I made that decision. The film is really rewarding after every view.
I loved it the first time I saw it (just recently). But I agree with what your saying, It really seems like a film that gets better with repeated viewings, I wasn't so surprised that I liked it but rather surprised to find myself completly drawn into everything going on onscreen. I know I can't pretend to totally understand the film after on eviewing but I don't think I need another one to tell this is a masterpiece and a fantastic meditation on life. I cannot wait to see it again and it's probably my second favorite film of the decade. So thanks for always talking about it that definatly got me to just bite the bullet and pick it up.
I had a free non-new release coupon for blockbuster and I rented "Patch Adams". Honestly I thought the movie was gonna be bad, but I ended up liking it.
City of God. One of the best movies I've seen, it's subtitled which will turn some people off, but you really should watch it, actually, I'm going to watch it now!
[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Pretty much all of those are famous, very-well known movies. :P Maybe if you are a movie buff but the casual movie fan may not have seen some of those. You are really saying that 11:14, Dead Man, Instinct and Bulworth are very well known?
Its funny how my choices were criticised and yet i get no response as to why they were supposedly "bad". Anywho, as someone else said Mystic River - great movie.
ben Hurr and Laurence of arabia.. in the realm of movie conisuers their popular.. but none of my friends had seen them until i sat them down to watch them great movies.
Babel - four stories of different families that connect with each other. Similiar concept to Crash but better.Thorpe89
Amores perros follows this same concept. An earlier work from the same director, but imo a much better film.
Id also recommend any of Kubrick's films from Paths of Glory to Eyes Wide Shut. Pi is pretty decent, it from the same director of Requiem. Gaspar Noe's films, I Stand Alone and Irreversible are very good but are some of the more disturbing films out there. Definitely not for you sensitive and meek types.
Let the Right One In - though it seems Film-guy has let everyone else know of this movie by now. Dead Man's Shoes This is England A Room for Romeo Brass The Wind that Shakes the Barely Sunshine Pan's Labyrinth
Stanley Kubrick said it was probably his favorite film. It's David Lynch's first film and basically **** with your mind. Everyone should see this film, though I know most people will say they hate it. It pretty much changed how I felt about movies.

I found Kenny funny, but it's not something I would watch again.
Pan's Labyrinth I also found very overrated - I can't see why people I knew raved about it. On the other hand I enjoyed Stickmen (a film about 3 New Zealand mates playing pool) and they didn't.
Falling Down was great showing Michael Douglas flip out
Night Watch / Day Watch - a dark Russian tale based on the books in an epic battle between the forces of good and evil (light and dark)
Canadian film called Cube. It's one of the only kinda non-maintsream movies I've seen. It was pretty good too, if you like the whole sci-fi movie thing.

On a side comment, I see a lot of people recommending things pretty much everyone has seen.
