EPTWell End of Days can inspire you ´cos Arnold shows how to kick Satans butt.....
And for inspiration I´d think Saló aka 120 days of sodom might be the thing :D
Just watched Fight Club - Page 3

All are good movies and i think you'll enjoy them if you havn't seen them already. mmm, lion king isn´t that good for your moral, you know the whole movie was stolen.... | ||

Unfortunately I think many guys "like" it because of the fighting. Kinda ridiculous, but I really think most men see the movie as some sort of zen-like, violent movie that defines their manhood. Like I said; I think it's overrated. Oh and usually movies that are liked by many people, aren't that good. There are of course exceptions to this | ||

They're very wrong, but there's not much you can do about that. OP seems to have seen Fight Club, but it doesn't sound like he's really watched the movie. The ending is happy, ultimately. Realistically, a lot of the movie's appeal is it's incredible execution-- it's a great looking film, at least, and (to me, at least) it doesn't feel like there's a single thing missing or out of place in it. Plot aside, it's just a joy to watch. And the plot itself is very engaging... I just think far too many people think the narrator is talking to them when he's really talking to himself. And he's crazy, so... Fight Club is a good movie. It might not fit your tastes, but that doesn't make it bad. | ||

Anyway, if you watch movies only for uplifting feel-good self-improvement type stuff, you are going to miss out on a LOT of 20th/21st century art (Bergman/Fellini/Truffaut/Kubrick/Kurosawa/Godard/Leone/De Sica anyone? : ) or more recently films like Cidade de Deus, Requiem for a Dream, any of Scorsese's films, Amores perros etc. etc. etc. These are amazing movies and it's a little sad that you might miss out on them because you're hung up on messages in films and seeing things from different points of view. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.students.sbc.edu/kitchin04/artandexpression/edvard_munch_the_scream590%5B1%5D.jpg) felt that it tainted your soul, and therefore it is a fail painting. You don't watch a lot of movies and only try to see the "best" ones. But most of the "best" movies are not Self-help-empowering-Disney-happee movies that inspire. "Best" movies, although a very subjective term, are usually movies that challenge and portray an entirely different point of view to a particular situation. You would draw a lot less flack from fanboys if you'd just write that you tried but cant appreciate what is probably a good movie, instead of "it made me feel bad so it is a bad movie." And yes, now it is very overrated, referenced across the internets. but back when nobody heard about it and there was zero hype, it was a mind blowing cult classic. And hell, it has to be very fucking highly rated before it can evolve into being overrated. | ||

I think movies that make you feel heroic or like taking over the world are often much too easily satisfying and don't actually look to solve a problem. You look at the result rather than the process, and that is why you feel so motivated. Fight Club gives you the inherent battle between ego and id that you need to face; once you face this, you decide your fate. Is that not beautiful? | ||

LOL so true. There's no way it could be improved by taking out the part that makes it fucking awesome. and + Show Spoiler + holy shit did you even watch the movie? He did stop tyler, and the bomb was a positive thing. It destroyed the credit card records 'bringing everyone back to 0'. Pretty decent ending for someone who always wants the good guy to win in the best way possible seriously though i recommend opening your perspective a little bit and really trying to enjoy more of what's out there | ||

Music and movies are 100% subjective, and im sure more people think like him, so saying he's immature and stupid is just silly. Its like "no country for old men", I hated the movie and if I wasnt at the cinemas when I watched it, I wouldnt complete the god damn thing, couse it was so fucking boring, and the dialuge wasnt good either..yet its got 8.3 on imdb. | ||

if you enjoyed the (pseudo) philosophical aspects of the story you should look into some classic existential literature I recommend you start with some camus. | ||
