Recommend me a Movie

I've been itching to watch a good film lately.  So I'd like some suggestions from the GB community.

To give you guys an idea of the type of movies I like, my favorite movies of all time are, in no particular order:

• A Clockwork Orange
• Reservoir Dogs
• The Wrestler
• The Assassination of Jesse James
  
• The Professional (aka Leon)

• Bladerunner

You actually liked Jesse James? Wow. Umm, I'd suggest (If you're open minded) Brokeback Mountain + a Brazilian film by the name of City of God; it's a terrific movie.

A Scanner Darkly

Probably already seen it, but the first movie to pop into my head was Donnie Darko.

You seem to be into the slightly darker movies, and you have Bladerunner on there which means that maybe you enjoy noir? You've also got Jesse James, which I believe is a western. In which case, I recommend Unforgiven, which is possibly the best damn western ever made, and it has some distinct noir elements.

Uhh, I remember The Proposition being pretty visually striking.  It was written and scored by the same two guys who did the Assassination of Jesse James.  Tenuous link, I know, but it's pretty decent.

Brick

Milk, The Science of Sleep, The Crying Game, 4 Months 3 Weeks And 2 Days

I agree with the Jesse James one, great movie. So I see you like westerns. 3:10 to Yuma is fantastic. I'm talking about the 2007 one, I havn't seen the original.

i'd second The Proposition, although the previous poster who mentioned it was mostly incorrect, one of the two guys who scored The Proposition also scored Jesse James, the two guys who scored The Proposition were Warren Ellis (not that Warren Ellis) and Nick Cave, (yes, THAT nick cave.) Cave also wrote the proposition, but had nothing to do with Jesse James.


Anyway, some other picks:

Bamboozled
There Will Be Blood
City of God
Let The Right One In
Zodiac
Michael Clayton
3:10 To Yuma
Good Night And Good Luck
2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick's best by far.)
anything by Kurosowa particularly Ran, The Seven Samurai and Roshomon.

and if you liked The Wrestler, check out David Mamet's Redbelt.

i'm also with you on Assassination of Jesse James, a brilliant, patient, character driven masterpiece that dared to choose patience and grace over cartoonish charicature as so many Jesse James films do.

I know this doesn't go with the movies you said very well but watch Ninja Scroll if haven't before. Yeah, it may be anime but it's pretty damn awesome.

Fight Club

some Noir films that come to mind:


No Country For Old Men (Cohen Brothers' masterpiece. essential viewing.)
A Blast of Silence (one of the original noir movies.)
Taxi Driver (Scorsese's breakout, beautiful character driven classic.)
M. (another O.G noir movie.)
The Maltese Falcon (again, O.G. bogart kills it.)
Old Boy (korean noir barely based on a far infirior japanese manga)
Eastern Promises ( a newer noir movie by David Cronnenberg, also vigo mortenson's penis!)
Collateral (Michael Mann's dialogue-driven crime thriller, highly underrated. watch it twice, catch the dialogue, enjoy.)

" @TheFreeMan: i would hesitate to call Bladerunner noir, it's a police procedural and a science fiction flick, that doesn't really denote noir sensibilities, other than i suppose the visual style, but that visual style isn't 'filmnoir' except to people who dont know anything about film noir. "

Heat.

" @TheFreeMan: i'd still hesitate to line it up with noir on the basis that it's moral greyness was more about science fiction morality than crime genre morality. "

Bladerunner, it sounds cool.

I'm a big fan of quirky, sci fi flicks 

Fight Club, The Big Lebowski. As for Sci-Fi, Gattaca is a pretty epic Sci-Fi movie.

I am saddened only one person said The Big Lebowski.

Some movies I've watched recently and would recommend...

• The Fly (1958 version with Vincent Price)
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
• Children of Men (2006)
• Changeling (2008)
• Vengeance is Mine (1979)
• The Wackness (2008)

The Dollars Quadrology (I know, it's often thought of as a trilogy, and the last one doesn't have Eastwood, but it fits, I promise):

Gattaca is a pretty epic Sci-Fi movie. "

Terry Gilliam's Brazil.

@BiffMcBlumpkin: That looks positively ridiculous, in a good way.  Think I'm going to check that one out.

Unforgiven
Brazil
Zodiac
Seven
The Crow
Scarface
Battle Royale
Heat
20th Century Boys
City of God
Shiki-Jitsu (The Ritual)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

" @kmdrkul: How about Jumper then? A lot of people didn't like it but I loved it. "

Donnie Darko

Try donnie darko out. Its amazing.

Gotta jump in on the Terry Gilliam love here, see Tideland probably he's most natural yet still surreal film, it was released back in 2005 and promptly ignored.

I'm a big fan of quirky, sci fi flicks ala A Clockwork Orange.  Do not recommend me a Tarantino movie because I have seen all of them.  Also, Kubrick is out of the question as well.  "
