I wasn't the biggest fan of Inception, though a lot of people liked it. I don't know, I typically like captivating movies not all that "eye-pealing" (appealing to the eye) fancy schmancy Hollywood tech stuff. Hurt Locker was great, I think you should see that. I'm really surprised District 9 isn't listed by more people, I am not a huge Sci-Fi fan but I really, really enjoyed it and I think you would, too, it got rave reviews as well.
I haven't seen Sucker Punch but again, I am more of a "film" lover and not a "movie goer," I enjoy flicks that examine the complexity of the world we live in and have great plot lines that keep you intrigued but not necessarily a much of special effects. Maybe I'm a film snob. Really, pick anything on my lists and let me know how you like it. Feel free to send me a private message. By knowing what you enjoyed specifically, I can recommend other similar films.


P.S. Inglorious Basterds is amazing. Far better than Inception, I think you will agree. But different strokes for different folks. For tomorrow- The Fighter, the first 3 episodes of Breaking Bad (season 1, there are only 3 seasons so far each with like 10 or less episodes, 40 min each, BELIEVE ME YOU WILL THANK ME!!! They're just like a great Coen Brothers film that keeps on going...), and Exit Through the Gift Shop OR Slumdog Millionaire OR The Hurt Locker OR The Town Let me guide you, young grasshopper ;-P

P.P.S. The opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is easily one of my favorite scenes ever in a movie. It is too genius for words.

Shutter Island is effing amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I walked around the sound stages/sets for Shutter Island, it was truly a work of art. They rented an old Stop & Shop distribution center and split it in two, on one side setting up a large fabrication area where they created the sets from basically nothing, on the other side were the sets. I remember peering into the jail facility set with all the rusted bars and stonework, I got chills because I instantly felt "transported" there.

OMG I forgot a fantastic movie that is a MUST WATCH! See Zombieland!!! I thought it was gonna be some campy, corny horror flick and it was the total opposite, it was hilarious and held me on the edge of my seat. That is one you should watch tomorrow for sure! Woody Harrelson is the man in that. i can't believe I left it off my previous list!

Also if for some reason you have not seen "The Rock" with Nic Cage and Sean Connery, that is one of my favorite blockbusters/action movies of all time.

"The man from earth" Is one that gets little to no plausibility. Great sci fi type movie based on longevity.

Yeah it was really cool. The sets were right down the street from where I used to live, and I've always kind of loved movie magic, so I stopped by one day and asked the set designers if I could have a look, pretty, pretty please. They gave me a # to call and told me to call back in 3 weeks when it was all done. I called and was told a couple of times that it was a bad time, they were either filming and had the whole cast and crew on or had heads from the studios checking out the sets. Finally they let me look around, on the condition that I didn't take any pictures. I probably could have, I got a couple texts on my cell phone while I was in there so I had to take my cell out to read them and obviously it occurred to me that I was not being watched and easily COULD take a picture of them, but I didn't, I'm a trust-worthy dude and I really appreciated them letting me take a peek. I tried as hard as I could to remember them, I even drew them freehand a couple weeks later, but no pictures of the sets (they stored the vehicles outside and I got a shot of 2 of the cars used, I have it somewhere). Close to when they were done filming I did, however, take the sign that was on the street that pointed to the set, just as a memento, not that it was on-screen or anything... I was also on the set of The Fighter and Edge of Darkness (Mel Gibson was like 5 feet from me, a year prior to that Oksana stuff, he's short!) and next month have passes to be an extra in Dark Knight Rises, if I can get myself to Philadelphia (anyone interested in doing this can contact me and I can hook you up with a way to get on, too!). But yeah, seeing the Shutter Island set was pretty special, the detail that went into it was unbelievable, it was unmistakably a work of love and passion by all involved.

If you want to see my pic of the Shutter Island cars and the pic I snuck of Mel Gibson that day on the Edge of Darkness set (bad movie, by the way) I can dig them up.

I did see Blood Diamond, you're right it was a pretty good movie, I did enjoy it. Also, yeah I haven't actually seen all of Zodiac but I caught some of it on TV once and remember thinking it was really good, so the OP may want to add that to their list.
