Was going back and forth between Almost Famous and Traffic. Ultimately I went with Traffic.
"RUn BITCH RUNNNN!"
Boiler Room only has one vote. Sheesh.
It's probably a Top 5 movie this year.
Any self-professed MMA fan not picking Gladiator...
Used to like that sort of movie but now that on older I think its too much trouble to be wrapped up on a strange scenario that is just depressing anyway. Like popcorn movies now. I even liked batman versus superman.Memento is probably my favorite movie. American psycho and requiem are awesome as well
Oh shit, I didn't realize Way of the Gun was 2000. Definitely got to add that to the OP. I love that movie.
The opening scene in that film is great. Its all downhill from there imo. So many people dig that film tho, its always baffled me. Kind of like when people are die hard fans of the band Tool, its weird to me.
Hmm, I dunno man. I love it. In fact, many years ago I worked at Hollywood Video as a shift leader and Way of the Gun was my money counting movie. That is, when it was time to count all the money and close up, that was the film that I would put on in the background in the office.
I think the story is interesting and original, the performances are great, and I like the aesthetic. And it's also just kind of awesome to see Ryan Phillipe in his first man role. He literally transformed himself for the movie. (There's a whole story about that).
It's a solid 8.5/10 for me.
Like I said, a lot of people seem to like it. It was mediocre and a letdown for me personally tho.
