Some of my favorites of all times are:
Frailty (with Bill Paxton, Matthew McConnehy (sp?), & Powers Boothe) The Last Supper (with Cameron Diaz, Bill Paxton, Jason Alexander & Ron Perlman) Snatch (with Brad Pitt) Fight Club (with Edward Norton & Brad Pitt & Meatloaf) My criteria for a good movie is that I cannot guess the ending, who gets killed and what blows up.) I've gotten so weary of the action adventure genre. But I WILL overlook a movie that has actors I detest if the plot is interesting. Like Vanilla Sky & Minority Report with Tom Cruise. I don't really care for him as an actor but Samantha Morton's character in Minority Report was riviting. Vanilla Sky just had an ethereal/surreal quality that I liked. By far, my favorite movie of all time is "Amelie". I detest romantic comedies but the visuals were stunning and Audrey Tautou was ADORABLE. So what are YOUR favorite independent movies? |

The Descent- The most original horror film to come out over the last ten years. Why do I say that? Because The Descent is more than just about the evil creatures the women face in the cave. The Descent is a total mind phuck of a film, and when you can pull that off in grand fashion, you have made a great film. RockNRolla- Most won't consider this a "independent" film. I do. And while I do love Snatch, RockNRolla is a funner film. I became a fan of Mark Strong after watching this. |

Hell yeah! I can't think of one Gary Oldman movie I didn't like. Fifth Element was great. Dracula was a bomb but he was so good! Immortal Beloved

But it has to be the UK cut, not the US version with the weak ending. |
