       What movies, little seen or long forgotten maybe, just touched a nerve with you?
 Couple of mine: On the Beach - very depressing but touched something in me. I grew up in the Cold War, where any day I expected to be basically vaporized or die a slow agonizing death. But it is uplifting in a way too, love among the desperation. Zorba the Greek - Zest for life, my best description. Totally opposite from the other movie. And, I can identify with the Greek culture because of my background. | |

      District 9!  Great flick, but I think Prawns and I think, mmm, seafood.
 I don't think I've seen the others, I'll put them on the menu. Two of my favorites on Netflix: Let the Right One In (the original) Rare Exports - a very interesting take on Santa Claus! | |

       Oh my, yes, saw that one... very disturbing.  Glad to see someone else found it disturbing yet fascinating.
 Ok, to add another sorta unkown one: Time Crimes - interesting twist(s) on time travel | |
|  | |
| 
      Nomads.
 Johnny Stecchino (Italian comedy from the brilliant Roberto Benigni) They Live. The Crazies. Les Visiteurs (in French with English subtitles, very funny) Buckaroo Bonzai Insomnia. | |

       Another foreign flick that wasn't big in the US:
 OSS117 - Cairo, Nest of Spies Jean Dujardin is a genius actor | |

There was a porn movie I downloaded off the internet last week but before I could play it the file infected my Android with a virus that took me an hour to clean.... it really touched my nerves   | |

      Titanic... I viewed it a long year ago that touch my heart very much.

| 
      A good action movie for escapism is "Deep Rising"    | |

| 
      The Quiet Man- a classic romantic comedy
 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid- a very clever movie starring Steve Martin and lots of dead people   Spinal Tap- because i can relate to it in so many ways | |
|  | |
| 
       Lol lots of good ones, too bad I can't find them on Netflix.

      Mr. Holland's Opus
 Big Fish Grave Of The Fireflies @mini - Tucker and Dale VS. Evil is a great little flick. I hope that they make more Tucker and Dale films. Edit: I almost forgot... Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead | |
