Need a good movie.

wow thanks for the recomindations.
that jacob film seems intresting. trailer is weird hehe.

the fly is that film with Jeff Goldblam?
it was a pretty good film. saw it years ago. i think it deservers a re-watch.

il have to check out the the other two films. i think i remember seeing a history of violence being advertised a few years ago...never got round to watching it :)

about death note, yes when you try and describe the story to people it just sounds...crap.
i had to lend him the manga instead of trying to tell him the story ^^ works best that way :)

edit: how, your 17....yout very well writen for a 17 year old....
make me feal dumb ^^

Yes, The Fly that I am talking about is the one with Jeff Goldbloom. Naked Lunch is, as I said, an allegory on sexuality (A certain kind, but I don't think I'm allowed to really elaborate here) drugs, and writing. In fact in truth, it is more about the author who wrote Naked Lunch rather than the book; in fact, the book is an object within the movie. There's even a scene where William is reading a fairly infamous section of the book (I can't paraphrase it here; but then again, I don't think I can paraphrase anything from that book here.) straight aloud in a car and his two buddies look at him like "What the hell was that?"

A History of Violence is a little more down to Earth than any of his other films, and it has a good story and development, I just wish the ending was a tad less.. ambiguous.

Jacob's Ladder is a bit weird; but it's full of metaphors and a few genuinely scary scenes. I shudder whenever I think about the hospital.

Oh, and you don't need to feel dumb because I type like this. :( I'm probably only used to typing this way though because I'm a writer.

Donnie Darko
Donnie Darko is great. 4 of my friends and I sat around debating and thinking about what happened in this movie for an hour and a half after the movie was over. Sure maybe we took it a little too far but it was good.

Here is a movie that I found interesting. I don't recommend that we start discussing it on our forums due to the topics of religion and various other things that it talks about. However, I found it very thought provoking. You can watch it on their site for free or download it.
