The Illusionist <- I love Norton, what an actor.

-Fargo
-Burn After Reading
-Idiocracy ( commedy)
-M.S.45
-The Bronx Tale
-Blind Fury
-Tsotsi

These are just from the top of my haed that I've watched lately.

Get Cube (1997), pretty suspenseful and makes you think too.
Cube, Wow this movie was crazy. The budget and acting were kind of cheap at times but other than that the movie was pretty damn cool. Basically 6 very diverse people wake up in these rooms that each have 6 doors which lead to more rooms of the same feature. Some of the rooms have traps, every room has a distinct marker and they have to try and decipher it to escape before they die of dehydration/starvation (or themselves!).There are some pretty subtle humor parts in the movie as well that are hilarious. The only thing the movie was missing imo, is that there should've been more people and it needed more gore/death stuff.
7/10

City Of God (Cidade De Deus) (portuguese with subs i think) Crime/Gang movie
Pretty cool movie about a slum in Brazil that is run by hoodlum gangs who rob and steal for the most part. They eventually start to sell drugs, buy out police, traffic guns etc. After a while the gangs pretty much take over or kill other rival gangs businesses and there are only 2 gangs remaining. The 2 gangs have an all out war meanwhile the main character/narrator is sort of on the sidelines. I don't wanna give away anymore but this movie is definitely worth a watch. At the end they show some real stock news footage interviews of the true story it was based on (didn't even know til I saw it).
8/10

District B-13 8/10, is a French movie that has to do with Parquer (sic?, -that free style walking shit). Anyways the premise is kinda like escape from new york. Big prison city run by gangs and shit , guy has to infiltrate to save the world from a bomb. I know this description sounds pretty lame but trust me its an awesome movie.

PS- All these movies aren't very mainstream. That's why I suggested them instead of my favorite movies like Predator or Payback or whatever.
But yea my top 3 favorites:
PayBack Crime/Drama/Action/Neo Noir

SW6:Return Of The Jedi [PG] 7.5/10
SW1:The Phantom Menace [PG] 4/10 I kinda hate this movie
SW2:Attack Of The Clones [PG] 5/10 no action until the end

Fuck that. Cube was insane. They made Hypercube and then a prequel too. Haven't seen them but I want to.
