"I shall have you even if it need be buglary!"

"MONTY YOU CUNT."

etc.

I like Midnight Run - "I've got 2 words for you. Shut the fuck up." and Glengarry Glenn Ross "Fuck you etc".

Don't be a Menace starring the Wayans brothers

Great parodie on other "black" movies like "Menace to Society", "Juice" and "Boyz in the Hood". It's nothing like that shitmovie "Whitechicks"...were the Wayans also starred in.
Just a laugh!

barfly with mickey rourke - so, so many good lines - a real tale of descent!

I recommend Z One if the best political movies I've seen in a few years. I loved it.

For a nice not-too-difficult-to-understand action movie, watch Boondock Saints, nice how you first see ''after the murder scenes" and AFTER that you can see how it happened.

Requiem For A Dream, watch a guy, his mother (or grandmother?), his girlfriend and a friend of his (one of the Wayans who also stars in Don't Be A Menace) going way too far into the world of drugs. I don't watch many films but this one REALLY REALLY grabbed me. When the movie is over I keep a depressed feeling, very weird that a movie can do that to me. Very impressive! A must see.

Withnail & I is my number one film of all time. There comes a point when you can quote the whole movie as almsot every line is funny and memorable (and its "monty you terrible cunt!" ).

"You can stuff it up your arse for nothing and fuck off while you're doing it!"

"How should i know where we are. I feel like a pig shat in my head."

I haven't seen it yet, but in Into The Blue, Jessica Alba spends the entire movie in a bikini.

Therefore, it's recommended.

Even though many might have seen it already, i'll still recommend:

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

Directed by: David Mamet
Starring: Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin.


One of my fav movies ever, this is an "actor's film" if there ever is one.

Based on David Mamet's play, Glengarry Glen Ross revolves around four desperate real estate salesmen racing for clients (or "leads") as they do not want to get fired by the end of the week. Doesn't maybe sound that tight on paper, but on screen it gets very tense.

Glengarry has an all-star cast, and absolutely everybody is on superb form. Mamet's dialogue is also a standout.
(Who could forget that hardball sales pitch by Alec Baldwin?)

I love this film.

one more movie that you probably won't see till next year... but hopefully when it comes out something in the back of your mind will go "hey! you heard this was good a long time ago!"

Hostel

From Eli Roth who did that movie Cabin Fever, this is about a couple of buddies backpacking through Europe in search of sex and end up... well... unhappy. There's a lot of hype going on about the movie right now about it being the goriest movie ever made and a new level in brutality and all that stuff... none of that's really true... but that doesn't keep it from being an absolutely kickass horror movie, compounded by the eery plausibility of the premise. I actually wouldn't be surprised if stuff like what's shown in this movie is actually happening somewhere in the World... which makes it all the more creepier. so yeah, Hostel gets a SOLID recommendation from me. Be sure to see it when it comes out!

Yeah i actually heard about this just last week! My brother works in a movie distribution company and he's always scouting for upcoming films... (He loves horror in particular) Anyway he mentioned "Hostel" and said that it's rumoured to be pretty sick.

I'll definitely check this out, as there can never be too many good horror movies.

Thanks!
