After a drug-op gone bad, Joey Gazelle is put in charge of disposing the gun that shot a dirty cop. But things goes wrong for Joey after the neighbor kid stole the gun and used it to shoot his abusive father. Now Joey has to find the kid and the gun before the police and the mob find them first.

Oh shit, I forgot about Running Scared. It is excellent! Lots of people I talk to have never heard of the movie and laugh at Paul Walker, but he's really good in this movie.

A question to whoever posted Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

+ Show Spoiler +

What does the letter Ryu's girlfriend is writing at the beginning on her computer says ? Is it the same letter that gets stabbed to Mr Park ?

Was "Contact" mentioned yet? If not, easily the best film I have seen. (Being an astronomy nerd that I am.) Another great film is an indy that premiered at Sundance last year called Moon.

Funny Games definitely wasn't for everyone. I enjoyed it. Not many movies can make me uncomfortable, this one did. I thought it was a really great take on the genre.

Now for my contributions:

The Host
[image loading]

BRILLIANT South Korean monster movie. Really cool monster, story, characters, and everything else.

Black Water

Monster movie set in Australia with a giant croc. Very entertaining if you like monster movies.

Invisible Target

Cop movie starring Jackie Chan's son; he's just as crazy talented as his dad.

Battle in Seattle
[image loading]

Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Charlize Theron, and Andre 3000. About the events in 1999 when the cops went crazy on peaceful protesters.

Legend of the Black Scorpion
[image loading]

Another Dragon Dynasty film based on Hamlet. They invented a style of non-violent martial arts just for this movie, if that doesn't make it worth watching in it's own right I don't know what is.

KOPPS

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet (I think it hasn't, at least). The most hilarious cop movie I've ever seen. I believe it's Swedish. Refer to this gif:

Bon Cop, Bad Cop
[image loading]

Another cop movie, this time the same plot you've seen 5 million times: One cop is by the book, one is a rebel. How will they ever work together? If you can get past that this is pretty good, otherwise keep moving down the list.

Trilogy of Terror
[image loading]

Classic horror stories.

Robot Jox

!IMPORTANT! - THIS MOVIE IS REALLY BAD. So bad in fact, that if you don't absolutely love how much you will hate it, you need to lighten up.

All about Lily Chou-Chou

This is a really good movie, but be advised, it is slow. I feel like the less you know going in the better it will be.

3-Iron
[image loading]

A squatter who sleeps in people's homes while they're on vacation. This guy is one crafty mother fucker.

Darkon
[image loading]

Documentary about fantasy anachronists and adult aged larpers. I was pleasantly surprised watching this, and I'll leave the rest for you to discover.

Six String Samurai
[image loading]

A silly movie set in the dystopian wild west where Elvis was recently the king (the actual king, like, ruler). He dies and now there is to be a competition among all rock and roll samurai. Stars samurai Buddy Holly.

Tokyo Zombie
[image loading]

Zombie comedy.

I've been following this thread for a while now and I'd just like to thank the people who recommended the following films:

Primer
Boondock saints
Noroi

By no means the best films I've ever seen but they were surpisingly good and worth a watch.

For the people who are into there foreign films (or local I suppose depending on where your from).

Thirst
+
Sympathy for Lady vengeance (or just Lady Vengeance)

Both good films from Director Chan-wook Park. Not as good as some of his earlier films. Specificly Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance but if these are the kind of films you like then you wont be disappointed.
