LA Confidential
You have probably seen it already, but just in case – Bladerunner
The Limey
Layer Cake
Essex Boys
Waterworld? Kev’s mom panned that one.Kidding Silverado was one I liked.
There is a website called TasteKid that could help you. You might enjoy The Escapist. The one with Brian Cox, not the one with Jonny Lee Miller. I’d recommend Leverage for TV shows.
The Prestige is a good film, wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve already seen it. And Memento, you gotta see Memento
Memento
Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
Payback (with Mel Gibson)
2001: A Space Odyssey
Unforgiven
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Apocalypse Now
Blade Runner
It’s over 10 years old, so you may have seen it, but it’s great. Lake Placid
Goodfellas, Scarface, Reality Bites, Black Hawk Down, the Godfather movies (but don’t bother with the third).
@poisonedantidote would you by any chance like any of the James bond movies?
some good ones are
with love from Russia
diamond are forever
die another day
the world is not enough
casino royale
If you liked Tremors, I could suggest a couple of cool eco horror films for you. But that depends on if you’re interested on the genre as a whole, or similar creatures and settings as in Tremors. (which is hard to top, good movie)
If you liked Fight Club, check out Trainspotting. It’s a similar style, and the soundtrack is awesome. The two authors who wrote the original books have a lot of stylistic similarities, though I think Welsh has a sharper sense of humor, while Palahniuk focuses more on gross-out.
@filmfann yea that’s pretty good too but my favorite is with love from Russia!
The Machinist
City of God
American History X
No. Too easy. I would recommend something that is also good but not along the kind of movies you mentioned. If you get intrigued enough to give it a chance and ended up liking it, I’ll be proud but if you tried then feel you wasted your time, then don’t give me any lurve points. The movie is from Japan and entitled, “Departures”.
It has been a while since I sat down and watched a good movie
Sounds like you need a dose of some motherfucking Kurosawa. Check out Ran, Seven Samurai, and Throne of Blood for starters.
I second ”Reservoir Dogs”, ”Godfellas”, and ”Apocalypse Now”.
I would toss in:
”Road to Perdition”.
”A.I. Artificial Intelligence”.
”Godfather I & II”.
”A Perfect World”.
”Children of Man”.
”Righteous Kill”.
”Boys Don’t Cry”.
”the Crow” (the first one).
”Enter the Dragon”.
”Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”.
”The Car”.
”Christine”.
”The Day the Earth Stood Still” (Original).
”Doubt”.
”The Lover”.
My husband and I just finished watching Kill The Irishman
It’s based on a true story about an Irish mobster in Cleveland during the 70s. Great cast, including Christopher Walken. You might like it. It’s one of the better films we’ve seen recently.

Let me just also say to never watch Freddy Got Fingered.
I know you asked about movies, but T.V. shows you might like are Firefly and Dark Angel.
@lillycoyote Yep, Dark Angel was way back when Jessica Alba was really hot.
The Rite, The Green mile, Munich, Under Suspicion, Shooter, The departed.
@cletrans2col Way back, I know. I really like that show and not only was Jessica Alba really hot but Max could really kick some ass.
