Lotsof good ones mentioned. Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece on so many levels, it's scary.

Anybody else ever get into:

Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman?

You didn´t like it? I think it was great, a must see. Great atmosphere.
The scene we´re he walks London all by himself is fascinating. How do they do that? Is there a DNR kind of plug-in for video editing were unwanted people are removed instead of noise ?

Other great movies:
The Usual suspects
Ghost Dog
Big Lebowski
Lawnmover Man
Spinal Tap
Mulholland Drive
Waiting for Guffman (Didn´t like it that much but became alot more fun after working with a director of a musical. He is Corky St.Clair IRL)
Amelie from Montmartre
Chocholate
Boogie Nights
Subway
High FIdelity
Big Blue
IP5: The Island of Pachyderms
The Game

Next scheduled movies are "A mighthy wind" and "Straight story"

I think I heard that they did that scene early one morning about 5 or something and held the crowds back - but I might be wrong

Killing fields
John Travolta's "Battlefield"dfegad
If the nose-hair fest sweeps the awards, it will go down as the worst movie ever and collect $34.16 worth of spray-painted plastic statuettes. Hey, that's about what it earned at the box office.

No, actually it was a great movie. Just very dark. I'm not sure if I ever need to see it again.

I also forgot to metion Boogie Nights... "Feel feel feel feel my heaaat!"
