We have topics for recommending both music and books, but not one for movies! So, what are some of your favorite movies or ones you'd reccommend to some people with a certain taste?

Here's one to start off:

Darren Aronofsky flicks - Requiem for a Dream and Pi, mainly. Good stuff, and a really cool directing style. Requiem for a Dream focuses on a boy (Jared Leto) with a heroin addiction living with his mother (Ellen Burstyn) who dreams of being on TV. He, his friend (Marlon Wayans), and his girlfriend (Jennifer Connelly) try to make their way scrounging up money for the drug. Kind of a 'heads up' to what goes on with a drug addiction. This is probably the most popular of his films. If you enjoy it, watch Pi as well.

Uhm, here's one:
The Green Mile: This is truly one of my favorite movies. It's based off of a Stephen King novel. The plot: "The story about the lives of guards on death row leading up to the execution of a wrongly accused man who has the power of faith healing."

I have to agree, that was a very good movie.

I recommend Closer. It was quite entertaining and it really drew me in. I love Clive Owen's charater.
"Set in contemporary London, a story of passion, drama, love, and abandonment involving four strangers--their chance meetings, instant attractions and casual betrayals."

i loved closer. one of the best chick flicks i've seen.

i recently watched everything is illuminated. i'll leave it up to yahoo to describe for you guys.
"Tale of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion. What starts out as a journey to piece together one familyâ™s story under the most absurd circumstances turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations--the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, the meaning of friendship and, most importantly, love. "

for foreign war movie, taegukgi. that movie made me shed a tear all three times watching it. made by the same director who directed "shiri" which was a decent movie too.

other reccomendations: amelie, finding neverland, crash, spirited away
