Well, i know that when ever a typical hollywood movie is released, it gets the play it deserves in the pit, but now i wanna create a permanent scene for the indie and cult movies that few have seen but everyone needs to.

Recommendations and comments are most Welcomed.
I shall start off.

1) KIDS: Absolutley amazing documentaryesque film on a day in the life of new york teens and their street life.
This movie raises many many teen issues, and does so in such a realistic manner, that you would swear this was a documentary and not a movie. You become very drawn into the characters and situations. Starring Rosario Dawson in her first role ever (yay).
Check imdb of course for more info and also for purchasing info.

2)BOONDOCK SAINTS: Great movie, not filled with depth such as kids or a typical indie movie, truth be told, its not an indie, its a cult fave really. Story of two irish american dudes from boston who live the typical irish life and work odd jobs simply to buy alcohol and food (lol), who just HAPPEN to be excellent, down right amazing assasins.
They go on a righteous mission to rid the city of boston of its evil men, starting with a russian mob cell then moving on to the big boys, the italians.
Funny and cool. Great shoot outs and awesome dialogue, with the religous undertone of the smithing archangels.

ill post more when its not 5:30 in the morning and iam bored.lol

if you want to some really good cult movies here is a few of my favs

1) Donnie Darko -this movie is ultra-creepy and very intelligent. it have a really freaking looking bunny rabbit talking to him and the soundtrack is kool

2) The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
3) Igby Goes Down
4) Run Lola Run- its in german, its bout this girl how has 30 mins to pay a ransom for her boyfriend. it has a background sound of nonstop teckno music
5) Napoleon Dynamite.
6) Fist of the north star - is set in a post-cataclysmic nuclear war Japanese animation epic where mankind has been reduced to roving bands of murderous Nomads
7) stigmata

RAVENOUS - This is an entertaining vampire/cannibalism flick set in a remote post-Civil War Army Outpost. The fight scenes are realistic and there's enough blood spilled to satisfy any blod rage u hav.

this is jus a few of what i could remember and they all really good to watch

I didnt like Donny Darko atall. Ppl love that move but hate Matrix? Dah doh make no sense. Darko eh even begin to scratch the surface of what matrix was. Is just one was low budget and one was big budget with @sshole Joel Silver bigging up the movie too much.

I understood Darko yes but i didnt find anything in it atall to awe me.

CUBE - See this movie its pretty d@mn cool

There is a sequal called Cube 2: Hypercube that was utter bullsh!t. The prequal came out later called Cube Zero. That one wasnt too bad but had a very impressive twist at the end of the show.

A very interesting and pretty frighfull take on what "the higher powers in society" can do. Watch them in the following order CUBE, CUBE 2, Cube Zero

You can skip Cube 2 if you want. But dont watch Zero first.

Also something to check out. DARK CITY. Im not gonna compare this movie to another because it will just spoil the story at the end, but its pretty interesting. Very good sci fi flick

And if youre in the mood for something really wierd get PI. A movie thats filmed completely in black and white and about how the mathematical formula PI unlocks a researchers answers to lifes greatest secrets.

3 great sci fi movies there to check out ppl

PI was really really cool.

loved the fact that was an uber modder too.

Level overclockin an moddin is machine in his room.

Lol dem ants was real bad mind doh...

de drill to head at the end wasnt really neccessary doh...

ACtually the term DEBUG was derived from thos bugs. Back in the day when computers took up a whole room and used to run on contacts and huge vacum tubes, the system stopped working. They pulled a bug out from the contacts....hence debugging was made

anyway....another movie to look out for

THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR

heres all of them.

o god how you could forget the DADDY of some sci fi cult films

ProtoJoe · « **Reply #11 on:** September 30, 2005, 09:39:59 PM »

Here is an oldy, suppose it was big back in the day...

Monthy Python and the seach for the Holy Grail

That movie is a must see...but requires a sophosificated sense of humor....but its still real kicks....

TinyGrasshopper · « **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2005, 03:38:59 PM »

2 cool ones that are out now are MirrorMask (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366780/) and 2046 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212712/). Fully intend to check out both.

shivadee · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2005, 04:28:31 PM »

VERY interesting. I hadda check dem 2 out.

The Gods Must be Crazy
Fight Club (if you haven't seen it already that is)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

hmm...in the spirit of the world cup,
just finished watching 'Hooligans' <--Elijah Wood

and 'Lucky Number Slevin' .... both definitely worth a watch, imo..

'eternal sunshine of the spotless mind ' and 'being john malkovich'

oh, and the original 'Dune' ( by david lynch.. the director's cut used to show on sci fi, long time )
