I saw it. Crap... it was funny though

Mystery/Sci-fi: Donnie Darko (2001), The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
Drama: The Elephant Man (1980)
Comedy: Hot Fuzz, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

AND for anyone who want to see a perfect example of someone with Asperger's, watch this amazing movie
The Bothersome Man: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808185/

"In a strange city where every person seems content beyond reason a new man arrives in town and stirs up trouble by asking too many questions."

Guessing I won't like those clips..? That is, assuming they're gory etc.

Used to be fine with it but have developed a quite severe aversion to it now.. Easier if I know what's coming.
On the note of blood&guts, the "lone wolf and cub" series of films are pretty ridiculous.. I only ever found "shogun assassin" which is of then series. Doubt I could hack it now though, even though I kept count.

And Tequila! Has nobody mentioned hard-boiled yet? Madness;)

For anyone who want to watch a good movie, i recommend "Being There"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/

Why is it a good movie? lol ignore that, just thinking aloud as it were

Instead of one film, today I recommend the YouTube channel for xmrkungfux I think, or very similar. Has nothing but full length wu shu/wu xia / kung fu movies etc if this is what you seek.
Also Spider-Man 1, 2 &3 are on YouTube atm. Saving private ryan too.. These will be gone soon though, whereas the chop-socky flicks rarely get taken down.

I just watched a mocumentary called Mail Order Wife

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377088/

The casting was brilliant. Eugenia Yuan was quite convincing as the ultra sexy, sultry, culture-shocked Asian bride, newly arrived in New York, to marry probably the most disgusting man in America, very well played by Adrian Martinez.

It was funny. I highly recommend it.

You can watch the full movie here: http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi50202905/

An oldish sci-fi adventure "flight of the navigator" is Disney so maybe not for everyone but I think it's a charming movie. Plus, I loved it as a kid so I'm already sold.

Ask your friend Google GOD. Or better, watch it

Google GOD? They're getting a bit full of themselves aren't they lol

Besides, that requires far too much patience. I may watch it, if it's not nasty.

I'd recommend "The Big Lebowski" seriously, you have not lived until you have seen this film !

Oh come on, it's so ridiculously gratuitious you can't be actually disgusted by it.

I appreciate you guys are talking taste here, but I felt I should add that I genuinely couldn't watch such video nasties anymore. Not squeamishness so much as pure "O" ocd-style intrusive thoughts.. That is to say, if I saw such things I would likely be tortured by the images, possibly forever because I don't easily forget.

Anyways, not wanting to drain away the fun just saying.

On a lighter note; I finally saw marvel avengers assemble today and had a great time

Awesome sauce on toast with a generous but not overpowering sprinkling of cheese on top.. My lazy review

clueless as to what to watch today so... Bump

Last I saw was 12 monkeys again, still a great watch I thought so will recommend that.

I strongly suggest the Planet of the Apes movies, especially the original, Escape from the Planet of the Apes (despite the incredibly upsetting ending), Battle for the Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Such great films and charming characters.

Also a 'making of' type documentary called Behind the Planet of the Apes, which describes the legacy of the films. It's very interesting and has plenty of wee widdle factoids. It's presented by Roddy McDowell (who played Cornelius and his son Ceasar in the films) and I have a man-crush on his voice.

As a little kid, I was a Planet Of The Apes fanatic. It probably had something to do with an Aspie-ish obsession on my part. I especially liked the human-hating Ape commanders, like Ursus in Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, and Urko from the short lived TV show. Something about the headgear and armor, I guess.
Funny that the gorillas were portrayed as the warlike apes, while the chimps were the peaceful homebodies, while in fact just the opposite is true in nature.
