^noooooo not yet! I'm dying to see it too It hasnt been available yet back here but once it is I will buy it asap. My last tv show DVD purchase was the first two seasons of The Wire and I got bored watching the pilot so it kind of discouraged me from watching the rest WIRE fans, please encourage me again

Ok-- I have to add Little Miss Sunshine to previous list...not sure about genre...arthouse/drama/comedy.

Anyways, I couldn't believe how much I loved it. Didn't think I would...I love how the H junkie grandpa is such an adorable, loving character, and not depicted as a total scumbag.....its a nice change.

 

[supertrav77]

I disagree with the "classic" being listed on here because, for one, it implies that classics are a genre in itself. About half the movies I mentioned are classics. However, if someone wants a token classic movie in their collection, I'd recommend The Petrified Forest.

*Arthouse Myra Breckenridge
*Action Godzilla: Final Wars
*Drama Gone With The Wind
*Romance The Awful Truth
*Comedy Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrells
*Thriller Double Indemnity
*Manga Battle Angel
*Foreign Godzilla: Final Wars
*Documentary Ken Burns' The Civil War
*Horror Aliens
*Stoner/Drug related Human Traffic
*Martial Arts Dirty Ho
*War Either Saving Private Ryan or Stalingrad
*Gangster Either Goodfellas or The Public Enemy
*Sci-Fi Flash Gordon
*Stand up I'm still waiting for Andrew Dice Clay's HBO specials...
*True Stories 24 Hour Party People

I'll add a couple...

Western The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. Or maybe The Searchers
Musical Singing In The Rain. If you got the scratch, the Busby Berkley box set.

[Unglued]

^Funny Games? Really??

It's not a thriller if it's totally obvious what is going to happen. The audience can pretty much not be "thrilled" at that point.

(But then again, it's also my most hated movie ever, so what do I know )
