8mm
Saw this on the big screen when it came out years ago. Caught it again on cable. I LOVE IT. May have a few holes in the plot and an ending that could have been better, but this film hits the spot for me.
As Max put it: "the devil changes you." The perversity and deep rottenness of the human minds displayed in 8MM entertained and disturbed me. Thumbs up.
PS. The middle eastern inspired soundtrack is absolutely amazing.
PPS. Hahahah watch out for James Gandolfini in a small role here!
PPPS. I actually realize that a couple of girls on this site look snuff /porn film perfect

The Wayans White Chicks on HBO. LOL!
absurd, over the top and lobotomy-funny, I'm sure a lot of ppl find this movie absolutely stupid tho
I love how the character of Lisa (from the posse of friends who is skinnier than a pipe cleaner) thinks she's obese:
Lisa: I'm Carnie Wilson before my gastric bypass surgery.
Kevin Copeland: This one goes with your skin tone.
Lisa: Somebody throw Shamu back in the ocean.
[shouts]
Lisa: Whoo.
Lisa: Hi I'm Cellulite Sally; look at my huge ba-donkey. Don't forget about me, I'm Backfat Betty. Now who could have said that? Oh yeah, it's Tina the Talking Tummy.
[cries]
Lisa: I can't even wear a short skirt and a top without looking like a fat pig.

Lucky Number Slevin, at the cinema on Friday night.
I also got The Wicker Man free on DVD in one of the newspapers this last weekend, and I'll probably watch that later on tonight..

The assassination of Richard Nixon
Given that Richard Nixon, to the best of my knowledge, was not assassinated - I expected to watch a film that perhaps dealt with the social issues of the era, perhaps touching on the 'assassination' of Nixon during the Watergate scandal... alas, there's nothing quite so interesting or challenging.
Instead, we're dragged through a couple of months in the life of a rather sad man (Penn) who clearly has some significant mental health problems. The film introduces us to the major social players of the time, namely; Nixon, The Black Panthers, the 'pre-yuppie' businessmen, etc, but never really does anything with it. They're token gestures, merely put there to explain Penn's oddity and frustration with the nation he comes to dislike. Ultimately, Penn's character comes to regard Nixon as the figurehead or embodiment of everything he hates about his life and the unfair world around him, and eventually resolves to assassinate him as an act of psychotic despair.
I left the film completely unsatisfied, having felt nothing but apathy and distaste for Penn's character. In this, I'm really quite unsure of whether this is a masterstroke of acting on Penn's behalf, or whether it's simply a case of a poor script. Why? Because every character in the film comes to regard Penn in the same way - as someone who is pathetic and beyond even caring about.
Personally, I found the film is quite boring, devoid of any ability to engross the viewer and incapable of eliciting any empathy. Maybe the one-dimensional character was intentional... but something tells me it wasn't.
Give it a miss.
