As you can probably tell, I really really really enjoy psychological thrillers.

I recommend the original Manchurian Candidate, the one with Sinatra.

Movies of significance are, but not limited too:

Saving Private Ryan (The most realistic combat film ever.)

Schindler's List (Made me cry)

The Audition (it's a Japanese subtitled film that still makes me writhe in my seat)

American History X (Social studies regarding prejudice all ground up into one nice, neat lil pagkage)

The Audition (it's a Japanese subtitled film that still makes me writhe in my seat)

I forgot to add The Green Mile in my original list. That is one movie that I will never tire of watching. The first time that I saw it my eyes were just plastered on the screen.

I saw the movie The Wicker Man last night. It was a movie that I don't think that I will ever forget. It was a good movie, but a disturbing movie at the same time. It was the remake with Nicholas Cage in it.

Another movie that I will NEVER be able to watch again because it affected me THAT much was The Hills Have Eyes(the remake). It was well done, but it was SO disturbing to me that I would never be able to bring myself to ever watch it again. It blew my mind, but NOT in a good way, whatsoever.

Awake!

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Big Fish - I have never had anything... be it book, poem, movie or song, that touched me like that movie. I watched it about a year after Dad passed. and now you know a bit about my relationship with my father.

[jadnifer]

I watched the movie 23 the other night, the one with Jim Carrey in it.

That movie scared the crap out of me and always had me guessing. I like watching movies that make me think and movies that have an ending that you didn't expect at all.

I worship that movie

[Rev.Reverence]

'Harold and Maude', even heavier than 'Clockwork Orange', but I enjoyed 'Caligula' the MOST!

[Guest Megalicious]

though I have not seen Control.

=) It's really good! I'm not a HUGE Joy Division fan, but I like them. The movie was insanely shot, edited in with live footage that they have ( here are the young men and substance). Even if you not a big JD fan, its great.

[Pandora]

Forgot the one that has blown my mind the most:

Requiem for a Dream

V for Vendetta

There Will Be Blood

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I do love my strong male leads.

Each time I watch any one of these movies (some I've watched hundreds of times) I find something new that amazes me.

[JaneDead]

i am really amazed at all the movies listed here! when i was trying to think of ONE movie that "blew my mind" i couldn't come up with any. apparently no movies ever blow my mind.

but i will say of all the movies listed here (and granted, TONS were listed i have never even seen/heard of) i will say:

butterfly effect

lord of the rings

the shining

were definately interesting for various reasons and "did something" for me, if not "blow my mind".

[JaneDead]

then there are also the:

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

i heart huckabees

being john malkovich

the royal tenenbaums

type of movies that i enjoy even though i don't consider them that fantastic in general. they are definately for a special kind of person

[Pandora]

Bah! The Last Emperor! One of my all-time favs. What a beautiful film.

[Hellion]

[Morbid Side]

A Nightmare On Elm Street.

I was younger when I first saw it. Yes, I snuck it on the TV when nobody was around. When I was first introduced to the diabolical maniac I had no idea what a child molesting, sandman who kills you in the dream realm, was all about until I saw the first one. Even though the gore was fake, I commend the fact that Wes Craven had a vision of portraying Freddy as a sadistic killer, seeking revenge on the parents who burned him.
