HOLY CRAP American Beauty! YES YES YES! So good, Kevin Spacey and Mena Suvari were so good in that. Love that movie, but can't believe that SPOILERS Kevin Spacey got shot at the end! Like, I'm not bein' friends with Chris Cooper now!

LOL! True. But to each his own.

American Beauty is defnitley one I forgot to add to the list. The Royal Tennebaums, and Mt. Rushmore as well.

I have yet to see Mulholland Drive and Memento, but I have heard so much about them.

There's also:

U-Turn

i loved ot...my mom rented it...she loves that kind of stuff, you know, with like old people actors and drama and stuff, and asked me to join her..... i saw popcorn, so i'm like "SCORE", but i ended up liking it

 

[dancingellecat]

i loved ot

What is ot? I know it's an abbriviation, but what movie is it?

My favorite scene in Royal Tenebaums - and quite possibly my favorite scene ever - was when Richie went into the bathroom, cut all his hair and started to shave his face, then said "I'm going to kill myself tomorrow" then took a razor to his arms. The lighting, camera angle, music (Eliot Smith's 'Needle in the Hay') and just plain old Luke Wilson's steely face and fantastic acting was just so powerful. Then when Dudly opened up the bathroom door and saw him in blood on the door, the look on Dudly's face was hilarious.

Hmmm..

I think I'm going to watch it tonight.

 

[dancingellecat]

Watch what?

I bought Royal Tennenbaums AGAIN yesterday because the one I had was all beat up.

Driving Miss Daizy! Who doesn't love Morgan Freeman? He is so cool.

 

[secondly]

The Royal Tennenbaums - It reminded me of my family in so many odd ways.

I Heart Huckabees - It actually changed the way I look at things on so many levels..
