Hey Guys!

Made this thread a few years ago with great success, I discovered many great movies and a few even became favorites of mine.

Basically, I feel like I've ''seen it all''. I'm well aware this is not the case but since I used to watch a few movies every single night in college, I've been through most of imdb's top 250 and beyond.

In the past few years I have delved into foreign cinema, spanish movies, korean movies, russian movies, german movies, you name it.

It has been way too long since a movie has become a favorite of mine. I want to be blown away.

So here's how this works.

You recommend a movie you think I haven't seen and could like, if I decide to watch it, I give you 20 Forum Gold. If I'm blown away and it makes it's way into my ''top 50'' you get an additional 30 Forum Gold.

Here are a few of my favorites :

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
American Beauty
Being John Malkovich
Abre los Ojos
The Science of Sleep
Big Fish
Lost Highway
Fight Club
Memento
The Matrix
2001 : A space odyssey
Shawshank Redemption
Goodfellas
Godfather 1 & 2
Schindler's List
American History X
The 25th hour
La Haine
The Shining
Amélie
Requiem for a Dream
Sin City
Mommy
Donnie Darko
500 Days of Summer
The Truman Show
Mystic River
The Pianist
Into the Wild
In Bruges
Magnolia
Old Boy
Amores Perros
Drive
Apocalypto
Basketball Diaries
The Departed
Blue Velvet
A Bronx Tale
3-Iron
The Boondock Saints
Snatch
City of God
Mar Adentro
Hable con ella
La piel que habito
The good, the bad and the ugly
Pulp Fiction
Primer
Casino
Raging Bull
The Shining
Mommy
Crash
ExistenZ



You get the idea, this is only off the top of my head, I mainly like drama and dark movies with a twist. I basically hate comedies so better refrain from that genre.
