Primer. Maybe the most interesting — and difficult — time travel movie ever made.

I loved Primer, I thought I was the only person in the world to love it and remember it. Been years since I saw it. I cannot find my DVD. I don’t think the director did anything else.

I thought history of violence was better

A quiet but very dangerous man

The sex scene with her in her cheerleader suit comfortably going right to 69 like a well suited married couple would

Then later when she’s mighty pissed and grudge bangs him on the stairs and then when done with him in short order kick off of him lying there exhausted with her sharp heel as she pulls her panties back up

The power of women boy....classic I can show you how it’s done mr tough guy.....ive had women do that same thing....use you basically while are pissed....they love you so much they hate you ....God love em

And the family dynamics....they save him then wifey is like ok....be mensch and fix this shit you brought into our Thomas Kincaide home....

Cronenberg can sure tell a dark thick textured tale......Promises too

And Maria Bello is now a lesbo or maybe she switched back already

Anyhow....she nailed it

William Hurt....an odd choice I thought

A top 20 all time movie to me...

Not within the ten year boundary but still...

The Legend of 1900
with Tim Roth

lost money at the box office critics, meh.

Amazon buyers 80% voted 5 stars.
Delightful, visually rich, saga of orphan borne on a luxury liner he never leaves. Becomes its legendary piano player. Great scene of a lounge piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, a brief role played very well by Clarence Williams III.

Just good entertainment.

The Sheltering Sky just for the cinematography

And the Berber indigo cast against the Sand and reddish morro walls

I may have to rent it again soon

Speilberg Pacific

I detest him but he did good on that one

Eugene Sledge I sure hope you are resting near the lord....you deserve it

And just a boy

The Prestige, 2006. Two rival magicians go to any length to top each other in Victorian England. Good story, great cast, lots of plot twists including the best twist ending you should have seen coming since The Sixth Sense. Even a small part for David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla.

It did! I think I’ve watched it 5+ times! It always puts me in a good mood. Jack Black is wonderful and the kids are amazing!

Speaking of a Gyllenhall

The Secretary

Tongue in Cheek(s)

Did what Shades wanted to do but so much better and actually touching and so hilarious

The Secretary might turn your wife on whereas Shades will just piss them off you asked them to watch it
