I must confess I have not seen ATPM. It's hanging around my Netflix queue somewhere because I know I should see it, but it hasn't reached the top yet.
LOL!
OK...I won't say move it to the TOP of the queue...but....move it up on the list! I mean COME ON!! Dustin Hoffman/Robert Redford you CAN'T go wrong! Kinda dated but....great none-the-less! Think West Wing/The American President without the 'Awww shucks' Aaron Sorkin humor factor - LOL!
Well I also watched a good one today...called "Adaptation". Which has Nicolas Cage as one of the leading actors. It seems unlike a lot of his usual roles. I recommend it.
this is one of my favorite movies by one of my favorite writers...Charlie Kaufman. if you liked it he's got quite a few good films you should check out if you already haven't.
1. Being John Malkovich - Kaufmans first and definitely his best IMO. 2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Kaufman teamed with director Michel Gondry. Brilliance! 3. Human Nature - Kaufman and Gondry again. Really funny film.
and Kaufmans new film, "Synecdoche, New York" w/ Philip Seymour Hoffman looks great too.

I'll have to check out Being John Malkovich and Human Nature. I have seen Eternal Sunshine though...and that movie is def. one of my favorites.
*Children of Men - if The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is the best new movie I've seen in the past 12 months, Children of Men is the best movie I saw in the 12 months before that. Cuaron's vision of a bleak, infertile world still sends shivers down my spine. Once again, this one is very engaging and beautifully shot, written and acted (especially Michael Caine and Julianne Moore).
I just watched this again recently and remembered why it is in my top 10 of all time. The whole war scene at the end is one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

Same here man, I'm blown away by that scene every time I watch it.
Battleship Potemkin is the only movie that matters.
However, a few of my favorite movies are:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead: This is also my favorite play. Hamlet from the point of view of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Hilarity ensues.
Better Off Dead: "I want my two dollars!"
Harold and Maude: My friends swear I will be exactly like her one day. I can only hope so.
The Legend of 1900: Tim Roth is awesome. This film is heartbreaking.
Léon (The Professional): I always assume everyone's seen this, but I'm constantly surprised. Definitely my favorite Gary Oldman performance. He makes my skin crawl every time I see it.
I just realized that most of these have Tim Roth, Gary Oldman, or both. Then I realized that that's the way it should be.
APOCALYPSE NOW, 2001 a space odyssey, boogie nights, the 400 blows, raging bull, amelie, fear and loathing in las vegas, suspiria, the thing, beetlejuice
i checked out charlie kaufman's directorial debut the other night, Synecdoche, New York. all i can say is when you put him in the directors chair and give him total creative control you really get one mindfuck of a movie, moreso than any of his other scripts at least. but it really was an amazing metaphor of a film. i dont think a movie about life and death has ever really spoken to me more. even though philip seymour hoffman is very similar to kaufman's other protagonists in his other major scripts (john cusack, nicholas cage, jim carrey) he still is very interesting to watch. do yourself a favor and check it out, whether you love it or hate it, itll definately give you enough to think about and talk with your friends.
