Movies worth watching

Migrated topic.
Having recently seen "Black Swan" I have to recommend it. Being an Aronofsky film I had high expectations and he absolutely delivered.
 
By far the best films Ive seen recently are 'The Pusher Trilogy' dierected by Nicholas Winding Refn; they are in Danish but are subtitled and dont be put off by this.These 3 films capture the essence of the brutal and stark life of those involved in the underworld and hard drugs.These get a 10 out of 10 from me.
 
Have to second "the Nines". Everyone on this forum should see it. Gibran2 recommended it to me and I rented it, watched it twice in 2 days then ordered my own copy from amazon. Not a perfect film, but conceptually will strike a few chords with most here, I believe.

Yeah I agree. Not perfect but interesting. And different.
 
I've seen some great selections on this list. Thanks all for the recommendations.

I don't believe i saw this one yet : The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus

Heath Ledgers last film. Def worth the time to check out.

Thanks,

That's a really good movie, you should definitely watch that movie, It has an very interesting concept. Also it has very good acting IMO.

I would thoroughly recommend all the Zeitgeist documentaries, especially the latest one Moving Foward.

Waking Life
American Psycho
Seven Pounds -- Was very moved by this movie

Many more but memory escapes me at the moment

LOVE
 
Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage)
1973 animated science fiction film with an awesome Funky soundtrack. It's about humans being kept as pets of giant aliens, dope.

YES! I have an old VHS and have been meaning to get the DVD. VERY strange - dates a bit, but well worth watching. Reminded me a little of the book "voyage to arcturus" by David Lindsay. Anyone read it?

Hypophantasychedelitrippholistica!! Both of em!

Stalker(1979) by Tarkovsky.

SWIM's has not seen deeper/philosophical movie than this. Although SWIMs lucky hes able to understand its original language and set/settings/atmosphere hence it resonated strongly with him. Even then it was a difficult watch however.

Huge props to anyone whos seen it and was able to understand it(even just fraction of it) and sit through its entire 3 hours and maybe even like it a little bit without having Russian background :d

Loved stalker, own it and watch it at least once a year. Check out The Sacrifice and Solaris by him as well.
