Iron Monkey

The Bourne Identity

i'm not one to mention this (i dont' read much fiction at all), but that movie sucked if you had read the book.

Iron Monkey
what part did jackie chan have in that??

nothing, i'm dumb i actually didn't like the movie all that much..

i'm not one to mention this (i dont' read much fiction at all), but that movie sucked if you had read the book.

didn't read the book

Event Horizon
mmm, lawrence fishburne is a badass. name a movie of his that sucked?? you should see him in othello. it's really good.

i haven't seen othello but i will now

The Jackal
please, not worth mentioning, at all..

first of all it had jack black..second it had jack black getting killed by a bigass gun.. third..did i mention he had a bigass gun? i want that gun!

my additions to the list:
QT:
Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown

haven't seen these

Edward Norton:
Primal Fear, American History X, Death to Smoochy

haven't seen primal fear
american history x was supposed to be on my list! great movie.
death to smoochy looked gay.. but i haven't seen it so i shouldn't judge it.

Al Pacino:
Scent of Woman, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Devil's Advocate

i can't believe i forgot scarface.. i haven't seen those other 3 by al pacino.

Robert Deniro:
Sleepers

never seen

Marlon Brando
Heart of Darkness and about a thousand other films

Penelope Cruz:
Blow, Vanilla Sky

blow was pretty cool

The Jackal
please, not worth mentioning, at all..

first of all it had jack black..second it had jack black getting killed by a bigass gun.. third..did i mention he had a bigass gun? i want that gun!

I can't tell if you like jack black or don't like him. one way or the other, he didn't play himself in the movie, so basically, yeah, that makes him worthless (b/c he's only good as himself). i still vote negatory.

my additions to the list:
QT:
Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown

haven't seen these

stop whatever it is you are doing (obviously not too much) and rent them, watch them, watch them again, return to whatever it is that you were doing.

haven't seen primal fear...
death to smoochy looked gay.. but i haven't seen it so i shouldn't judge it.

primal fear is absolutely amazing (and it has richard gere in it, who has made a dozen incredible movies himself). death to smocchy is definitely not your typical film, but it is funny. [on a more serious note, i would watch yourself on using 'gay' in a derogatory manner. The forum rules maintain that respect is due to ALL members of the forum. I do not know if anyone here is gay, but if they are or someone is clicking through and sees that, I do not want them to be turned off from our website. I am offended by that type of comment and would appreciate a more appropriate term. Thank you.]

Al Pacino:
Scent of Woman, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Devil's Advocate

i can't believe i forgot scarface.. i haven't seen those other 3 by al pacino.

never heard "hoo-ahh!!"? if you liked scarface, you'll love donnie brasco, same type of thing.

someone else want to chime in??

yeah really... Bump!


i didn't mean gay like that.. i'm around people that say it a lot without meaning it that way.

i dunno..thats what you get for living in hickville for 7 years of your life [ montana ]

no offense intended.


[edit: i said bump, geeez.... someone else post dammit ]

devil's advocate is a good movie


my fav is a sci fi
Gattaca
starring
Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman

its a lot of people's favourite as well

[Jason425]

I liked the gladiator.. troy looks to be awesome... the last samurai was ok too..
