This is sort of a recommendation thread...

Way it works is, you write a few of the movies you like and ask people to recommend something you SHOULD like based on those movies. Hopefully you can discover a few unearthed gems you've never seen before...

So you can do me first. It's my thread. I get to go first. Those are the rules.

Okay, so if I liked...

Jesus' Son
Waking The Dead
The Virgin Suicides
Being There


Then I should also like....

Well, you're pretty good! You were at least accurate with the ones I've already seen.

Wild Things - 9/10 (A-)
The Good Girl - 9/10 (A-)
Magnolia - 8/10 (B+)
Waking Life (Man, after Joblo's review, I don't really plan on ever seeing this. I kind of doubt I'd like it anyway.)
Trainspotting (Yikes! Sorry, I know a lot of people love this movie, but I saw the trailer and I don't think it looks very could at all. I really don't want to see it and I doubt I'd like it. Afterall, I did hate Snatch, I couldn't even finish that one.)


I'd do you, but I figure I'll give someone else a chance for now. Unless of course a few days go by and nobody does you, then I'll do you. (Man, this kind of sounds bad ;))...
