| blasphemer  Location: Michigan Posts: 7,946 | Maybe "Monster." That movie has really incredible acting and it's great realism. Plus Aileen Wuornos' mother lives in a town about 12 miles from where I am sitting--it brings this movie close to home for me. Grandpa h.

 Fyrdman  Location: Middlesbrough UK Posts: 4,161 | Honestly picking one just isn't possible, it all depends upon mood. But my stock answer when I'm asked this is in my top films, True Romance. Tarantino script, Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper on screen together, Patricia Arquetee playing my ideal woman (her qualities that is, call girls arn't my thing...), plus Gary Oldman, Samuel L Jackson, Christian Slater (acting well), James Gandolfini, Brad Pitt, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore, Val Kilmer... How many other films bring together so many great actors and still produce a great film? If I was talking to someone who knew their films I would say L'Appartment as they'd know it. Otherwise I can't explain why it's good without ruining the plot, and few people seem to know Monica Bellucci let alone Vincent Cassel or Rohmane Bohringer. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill |
