[Passing Clouds]

As a subversive and Malcolm McDowell fan, I'd have to recommend 'If...' and it's companion film 'O'Lucky Man'.

 

[Bertrand]

The Seventh Seal would be a good one to see just before you die.

Million Dollar Baby was a good one.

Elfen Lied is a TV show not a movie

But if your going to do it
Dexter and True blood are the best TV shows on the air right now

 

[syntaxevasion]

OK. DEXTER TOO. Good call.

Leon

Bad Taste

Oldboy

Memento

[Liberate_Yourself]

Aaahh.. Memento was a really good one.

Anyone ever see a movie called crash? It was about a couple that liked to get into accidents and do kinky things.. it was really out there. Came out in the mid-late 90's..

 

[K-Sound Krew]

Yeah Crash is by David Cronenberg, all his movies are good,
he made....
Scanners, videodrome, deadzone, the fly, naked lunch, a bunch of others

That dude is seriously twisted, If youv'e never seen scanners you have to watch it, I just saw it again in Oct. for like the 10th time, it's one of those films that get better each time you see it.

His first film, Shivers, is my favorite! His two recent ones, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises, are also very good.
