rudeboyyouth Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Rent these following films, you won't be dissapointed: "Happiness" with Lara Flynn Boyle. This is a very shocking and funny comedy. The humor mostly stems from how fucked up and brutally honest the film is. You will be surprised at some of the shit that happens in this movie. The director of this film directed the film that I am about to mention next."Welcome To The Dollhouse." This is another hilarious movie. Another independent flick with a young actress (I forgot her name) that has become a familiar face in the independent film scene. It is about a young girl's alienation from her piers, and how she goes about dealing with it. It's fucking hilarious. "Requiem For A Heavyweight." This is a superb drama shot in the 1950's I believe. It stars the late Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, and a young Mickey Rooney. It's a superb film about a prizefighter who is unable to fight anymore; he tries to regain his pride by trying various things to gain fulfillment. The film is beautiful. The film was written by Twilight Zone's Rod Serling, and it has the same shocking ironic twists of fate as the series."Rosemary's Baby." You've most likely seen this one. It really doesn't need a synopsis because the plot is fairly simple. But the directorial style of Polanski and the performances by Cassavates, Gordon, Farrow, and the other cast members are superb. Ruth Gordon recieved an Oscar for her performance as the sweet next door neighbor. "Repulsion." This film is also directed by Roman Polanski, whose style is undeniably superb. The film is about a woman trapped in an apartment. The plot twists evolve from there, but to divulge them would be a discredit to the film. Rent it, you'll enjoy it. "Dressed To Kill." This film stars Michael Caine, Angie Dickinson, a younger Dennis Franz, and Nancy Allen. It is directed by Brian Depalma, who is also another superb director. It is a slightly different take on Alfred Hitchcock's original "Psycho." "Obsession." Another Depalma flick starring Genevieve Bujold and another actor. Superb film about espionage and kidnapping. John Lithgow also plays a very good role in this film."Blowout." Another Depalma flick starring John Travolta and Nancy Allen. Dennis Franz also makes another cameo as a scumbag in this film. It's about the uncovering of an assasination plot on a political figure; superb mystery that unfolds beautifully. "Cruising." Starring Al Pacino, this film was shot on location in Lower Manhattan. The film is about a cop (Pacino) who goes undercover into the S&M Gay nightclub scene to find a killer who has been viciously murdering homosexual men after having sex with them. There is also a small cameo in here by Paul Sorvino. "Afterhours." This film is a funny comedy directed by Martin Scorcese. It's about a lowly word processor who ventures out to SOHO one night to meet a woman who gave him her number in a diner (Rosanna Arquette). He gets lost in Soho, and so begins the adventure. It's hilarious.And finally, "Buffalo 66." Funny film directed by Vincent Gallo, also starring Vincent Gallo. It's about an ex con who is released from prison and sets out to assasinate the individual that helped him get into prison. The film is sad and funny at times, and Christina Ricci plays the young girl that Gallo kidnaps and forces to accompany him on his journey. As the plot unfolds, the viewer learns that Gallo is anything but a criminal, the connection between the two (gallo and Ricci) is far more sweet than once thought. Beautiful film. ------------------"I hate explanations that are explanatory of something already explained.

kitkatt Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 There are just way too many out there, so here's something a little different. These are movies that were based on books. Usually the book/movie transformation is a catastrophe. These movies were awesome. It was really nice to watch a movie and say to yourself "wow, that's exactly how I imagined it when i was reading the book" The Lover by Margarite DumasOut of Africa by Isak DenisonThe Joy Luck Club by Amy TanThere are a few more, but my brain doesn't seem to be functioning all that well today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudeboyyouth Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Here are a few more that should be to your liking:"A Panic in Needle Park." Shockingly realistic film starring Al Pacino (in his first starring role) along side other up and comers such as the late Raul Julia. The movie is set in Manhattan and deals with a young thug's love interest with another street dweller. The two live on the streets, and as such, they only have one another. Pacino becomes addicted to heroin and drags himself and his girlfriend into a world of turmoil. The film is raw and depicts the harsh realities of street life in Manhattan. The ending is powerful, and as usual, Pacino's peformance is unrivaled. "Raising Cain." This is a film shot around 1992 that deals with the Multiple Personality Disorder. Starring John Lithgow as a traumatized adult, the film deals with a child who was purposely traumatized by his father. The father traumatizes Lithgow from childhood in order to trigger a multiple personality in Lithgow; he was an experiment, and as an adult he now has several personalities that occupy his psyche. Lithgow plays several roles in this film, including that of the father, son, and various personalities. The climax is beautiful, just as Depalma's climactic endings usually are. Lithgow also, as usual, plays a superb role as the insane Carter. "Mean Streets." This film is one of Martin Scorcese's first succesful films. Starring Robert Deniro and Harvey Keitel, this film depicts the harsh life of two up and coming gangsters in Hell's Kitchen during the 1970's. Scorsese shows his skill for directing gangster films in this movie, and much like every one of his gangster films that succeeded this one, he is at his best. This film also introduced the brilliance of Keitel and Deniro on the screen; the two would later act alongside one another in Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." "Dial M For Murder." This film is the original version of the 90's film "A perfect murder," and is directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This brilliant film has so many plot twists that they are difficult to describe. Hitchcock is flawless in this mystery/thriller, and not one moment of this film is wasted. "Marnie." Also directed by Alfred Hitchcock, this film stars Tippi Hedren (mother of Melanie Griffith) and a young Sean Connery. The film involves a young thief (Hedren) who is caught in her plot to steal from her boss. Connery catches on to her plot and makes a deal with her: Be my bride, and I will keep your secret. The relationship between the two evolves, as well as the history behind the mysterious thief. Hitchchock brings this film to an ultimate climax that informs the viewer of exactly why Hitchcock was so ahead of his times. "Frenzy." This is one of Hitchcock's final films, and as such, one can see the decadence within the later films as Hitchcock approached the end of his life. More raw and gritty, Hitchcock truly shows that he is capable of both psychological mystery, and brutal, horrific film making. The film deals with a killer in London who strangles his victims with a necktie. The acting is superb, and Hitchcock provides a shocking combination of humor and horror. A Great film, overall. ------------------"I hate explanations that are explanatory of something already explained.
