Without Limits(my favorite movie of all time) - The Rocky of the 90's. But since it's true it makes it all the better. Billy Crudup and Donlad Sutherland make great performances

Blow - Another biopic that never got its due. One of the greatest stories of all time. Read the book.

Natural Born Killers - totally misundersood. Oliver Stone knows what he is doing. This movie went over people's heads

Donnie Brasco - The greatest biography ever written goes to film. Pacino and Depp? Are you fucking kidding? Throw Madsen, Bruno and Giamatti in there and you have an all-star cast portraying such a great story. Mob films were cliche at this point so it will never get the credit it deserves

Stripes - Bill Murray in his finest moment. So many lines. Whe peple name their favorite comedies of all time I rarely see this movie mentioned.

christmas vacation......i doesnt get ranked among the best comedys ever, but it is an amazing comedy movie, my fav of all time

Where the Heart Is...total chick flick, but I LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

Orgasmo

Classic movie. I still can't find the dvd anywhere.

that movie was funny as hell, but all i really remember from it was the duded called chotta boy

How about, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

You don't have to be ashamed I mean you are a Chick so it's okay that you would like a chick flick. Is this the one with Natalie Portman in it?



Yes I'll die of shock if I can ever find this on DVD anywhere, and trust me I look in the O section every time I go to a movie store.

One that I can think of for now is "The Dream Team," which is the greatest comedy of all time, in my humble opinion. It had that fantastic on-screen cast of Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd, Peter Boyle, and Stephen Furst, and they were all mental patients lost in the city of New York. Michael Keaton's Billy was over-aggressive and had a tendency to lie, Christopher Lloyd's Henry was an insane neat freak, Peter Boyle's Jack thought he was Jesus Christ ("I am the Lord thy God though shall not have strange gods before me; out of my way, ass-hole!"), and Stephen Furst's Albert only spoke in baseball terms. There's a must-see...

I think the same for Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." It is one of my two favorite animated films, and it has Danny Elfman's beautifully menacing score and tunes. With all of the imagery and the music moving it along, it is very complex and absolutely incandescent to the imagination.

"Billy Elliot" is another one that comes to mind. This was an indie film of a couple of years ago that had a great reaction in the independent film industry, but never really had a chance to make it out of that circle. I wish more people could see this movie. The emotions are handled well, with some very pleasant humor and depth. I'll recommend it here, at the least.

I know more, but they're not coming to mind now; I'll be back!

empire of the sun

On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I don't get why Bond fans give it such a hard time. George Lazenby is actually quite good as Bond - I'll take him over Timothy Dalton any day! - and Telly Savalas is probably the best Blofeld there ever was.

How is it underrated?

I know I'm probably preaching to the converted, being a PJ board, but I really really loved Big Fish. I thought it was an incredible film.

Also Loved Garden State, don't know if it got the pub and cred it deserved.
A personal favorite that didn't get much is What Dreams May Come

I agree that Blow was fantastic!

I suppose I mean the way it's thought to be. I don't like to hear that people didn't want to see it because they assume it's just a mediocre cartoon, or it's just cute. It is widely considered (not by everyone, of course) a typical animated film, and I think it's very complex and outstanding. Themes and elements of the film that I find very significant are often overlooked because the film is animated and a story of unrealistic characters and settings. Never underestimate a Tim Burton fairytale. There's so much to it, just like "Big Fish." (There's my segue...). I loved that movie too, and there's nothing wrong with mentioning it here. Even though it did have some silliness to it, the general morals and meanings were so mind-boggling and sincere. I was surprised how light it was, considering Tim Burton's past works. It was a brighter fairytale, but in the same pattern he's always used, very meaningful.

Excellent choices.

I also agree with Romeo & Juliet. HUGELY underrated. After watching this 80,000 times and then see Moulin Rouge, there was no comparison. R&J was way better.

I'm a sucker for What Dreams May Come. But nobody has seen it.

I also enjoyed 28 Days Later. Great English sci-fi.

I have! That's another one I would have forgotten to mention, that I really loved. The imagery and colors used in that version of heaven were creative beyond belief. It was extraordinary. And the story was actually very thoughtful, not something that was recreated from another movie or something like that. Sometimes, I think people worry about Robin Williams, or any comedian for that matter, doing more in-depth, serious movies. This one turned out lovely, and Robin Williams was very good in it. He's actually a very good actor, however overlooked. I have yet to see "Good Will Hunting," but I'd like to see it just for his Oscar-winning role.

But I'm glad you said that, because I liked it too.

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
Witness For The Prosecution

I agree with everything you've said. Robin Williams is just all around brilliant. And he is a master of both comedy and drama. He can easily make me laugh and 10 minutes later make me cry.
