The Birds and Psycho are really good Hitchcock classics that are still scary. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is my favorite Terry Gilliam movie. It's a fantasy set in olden times with superheros and adventures. Time Bandits is another good fantasy movie from Gilliam with alot of midgets. Big Fish is a fantasy from Tim Burton but its like one of his best movies imo. | ||

Yeah, it has Johnny Depp and the movie gods be praised for having him not act like that fucking pirate from the Caribbean, and, he is good as he is mostly, but the story telling in this movie creates no tension. (Giovanni Ribisi also has an interesting cameo.) The angle they are going for is essentially a slice-of-life movie-- where you get scenes of nothing in particular necessarily, merged with a gangster movie, so there are guns going off pretty regularly throughout. I guess it's an interesting attempt when you break it down like that. The problem is, the slice-of-life scenes take away from the tension of the film. You should feel like you're in the chase with the fugitive hero or at least are intrigued by what is going to happen next; in this one, we are watching the criminal's droll interludes between the discharges of carnage. In the end, the dramatic quality of the more aimless bits of the movie don't prop up their end of the film; they are realistic feeling, but uninvolving like an ordinary photograph. (Bonus tidbit: MMA fans will note Don Frye (as Clarence Hurt apparently) as one of J. Edgar Hoover's posse men that are hunting John Dillinger and his gang. I've never seen a man's mustache that looked as though it would hit someone just for making eye contact with it for too long.) To be honest, I haven't seen the entirety of American Gangster, but it was so fucking gay I didn't care. A much better movie in the same genre is Blow, with waaaaait for it, + Show Spoiler + waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait for it,+ Show Spoiler + Johnny Depp | ||

See Donnie Brasco. You will not be disappointed. It's better than the departed which is a great movie in its own right. Hell I liked American gangster too. Donnie Brasco has Al Pacino and Johny Depp. The departed has bourne and some other really notable folks. | ||
