    La Haine
    One of Vincent Cassell's earlier appearances, been in many top films he has. His wife ain't too bad to look at. You seen Irreversible? Probably the most sickened I've ever been before a screen! Was captivated though.

    I've seen 'Irreversible'. Great movie.
    If you were sickened by Irreversible, then check out 'I Stand Alone'.

    brainofPJ suggested this in the underrated movies thread. So here we guy.

    The idea is to recommend some of your favourite movies, (like the recommend a band thread in Other music) preferably lesser known movies, so everyone can go watch them and broaden their horizons :) Doesn't matter what genre it falls under, if it's foreign or whatever. Anything goes
    So no Pulp Fictions, Raging Bulls, or any other giant movies that everyone already knows.

    brainofPJ already recommended Salton Sea to me, which I never heard of, so I'm downloading it now.

    I'll start off with District 13. It's an awesome French action movie from Luc Besson. A cop is sent into a closed off area in Paris which is overrun with criminals to stop a nuke from going off. Similar premise to Escape from New York, Very silly, but it's great fun and the action is amazing. Loads of Parkour all the way through, and some cool martial arts and stuff. Well worth watching.


    stand by me. 4 kids go looking for a dead body.

    the warriors. crazy gangs in new york try to stop the warriors from getting to coney island (their home turf) because they are setup.

    the life aquatic with Steve Zissou. Sea Experts hunt the Jaguar Shark who ate one of their crew members.

    the cube. Group of people wake up in a square room that is part of a giant square of many rooms making up the cube, the rooms are all booby trapped and each person has a specific role to get them out of the cube.

    im gonna get you sucka. Military veteran goes after Mr. Big

    Jack Frost. Convict being transported gets in an accident and is mutated into a snowman. (shannon elizabeth's first movie and she has sex with the snowman.) no words and this is not a porno.

    North. Kid divorces his parents and goes on a world search for better parents.

    The backwards structure, the camera spins, hadn't seen a film like it before. Near the start in the club with the red flashing lights, sirens, the moans: was scary as fuck! Captivating in a negative sense mind, they took what is unfortunately an ordinary-ish tale and made me want to reach it's conclusion, or start as it was.

    I see what you mean... I guess all the violence is a BIG turn off for me... and the director playing with movie boundries like that is a little childish and irresponsible maybe... but I see what you mean...

    is your bday? happy day btw!
