I watch every movie genre...I usually like dramas rather than comedy.

Revolutionary Road
Extremely intense, and a very odd story, as well as a couple of graphic parts.
I don't really know what I like so much about it...

That movie was once a HUGE obsession of mine! I couldn't get enough of Jim Carrey's performance as the Grinch! I still love it, of course, but not quite as much as when it first came out.

I like the Austin Powers movies. Austin Powers is me with a sterner face, a sex drive, glasses and a penis. That's pretty much the Austin Powers character in a nutshell. He cracks me up. Mike Myers does a really good job. :lol:

If dramas are your thing, a few I would recommend are:

"Paris, Texas" (English) - Wim Wenders - Quiet drama of a man making a journey to apologize to his ex-wife.

"The Decalog" (Polish) by Krzysztof Kieslowski - This is a series of 10 one hour long films, each is based on one of the 10 commandments. Some are really great.

"The Sacrifice" (Swedish, French, English) by Andrey Tarkovsky - Fearing nuclear war, a man makes a sacrifice, hoping to avert disaster.

"Army of Shadows" (French) by Jean-Pierre Melville - about moral ambiguity of resistance fighters in occupied France.

"Crimes and Misdemeanors" (English) Woody Allen film - part comedy, part ethical drama.

"Husbands and Wives" (English) Woody Allen - Everybody breaks up. Laffs ensue!

"Deconstructing Harry" (English) Woody Allen - A self involved writer is berated by the characters he writes.

"Miller's Crossing" (English) Coen Brothers - Part period gangster film, part reflection on friendship, loyalty and choices.

"Wings of Desire" (German, French, English) - Wim Wenders - Angels in Berlin struggle with the desire for mortality.

"The Battleship Potemkin" (Silent - Russian) - Sergei Eisenstein - Mistreated sailors mutiny at the beginning of the 1905 Russian Revolution.

"Citizen Kane" (English) Orson Wells - The complex life and simple death of a wealthy publisher, loosely based on W.R. Hearst.

"High and Low" (Japanese) Akira Kurasawa - Film noir. Industrialist must pay ransom for his servant's kidnapped child.

"Andrei Rublev" (Russian) Andrey Tarkovsky - Slooooowly paced film about the Russian Icon painter.

"Songs from the Second Floor" (Swedish) Roy Andersson - Really a dark comedy, but deals with how people use each other and then are haunted by their acts.

"Sweetie" (English) Jane Campion - The difficult relationship between two sisters. (Probably many Aspies could relate to this film well)

"Bliss" (English) Ray Lawrence - Based on the Peter Carey novel. An advertising executive decides he is going to "do good" Surreal comedy.

"21 Grams" (English) Alejandro González Iñárritu - Complex people struggling with tragedy and the desire for retribution.

"Million Dollar Baby" (English) Clint Eastwood - Hard to summarize without giving away the story.

"Unforgiven" (English) Clint Eastwood - Old hit men are hired to kill some men who cut up a prostitute. No one comes off looking too good here.

"In The Mood For Love" (Cantonese) Wong Kar Wai - A man and a woman discover their spouses are having an affair and fight the temptation to have an affair themselves. One of the most beautifully shot films I have seen.

"the rapture" is certainly different.
"seconds..." is chilling
"thunderbolt and lightfoot" also is worth your time
"anne of the thousand days" is fine historical drama
"rancho deluxe" has its moments [with "reservations"]
"the godfather/II" will keep your attention
"time after time" is a great updating of h.g. wells
"rosemary's baby" will have you looking over your shoulder
"the exorcist" -ditto
"incubus" will make you curious about esperanto
"the cage" made for surprisingly cerebral tv fare
"city on the edge of forever" is a tv episode but at 50 minutes will make you feel real feelings
"demon with a glass hand" - ditto, but longer
"the deer hunter" - powerful
"reanimator" - visceral adaptation of h.p. lovecraft tale
