Usual Suspects relatively easily for me.

EDIT - completely missed Boogie Nights somehow, love that movie too, and Snatch would probably be my 3rd choice.

So the theme is each director's sophomore film?

Usual Suspects was the first movie that ever truly blew my mind and planted the film nerd seed in my brain so its a permanent favorite and holds as well or better than any twist-ending movie ever, imo.

I saw Usual Suspects right when it came out on video while at home sick from school. I told my dad to get it for me because I had read a good review of it. It blew both of us away and I used to consider it my favorite movie...but after several viewings it loses some of it's luster. The acting and cinematography are really good for the most part, but the story's really pretty meh.

I still love the movie, but I can't say it's better than Boogie Nights...probably not Se7en or Memento either. Boogie Nights is the shit though, one of my all time favorites, story and acting are as good as it gets.

se7en for me without a doubt. the visuals and camera tricks alone in this movie fuck with me like some creepy shit should.

Great movie list.

I went with SEVEN

Boogie Nights and Memento are the only two flicks which aren't completely intolerable at this point, and Snatch has always been terrible; it's a movie that's second only to Ceecee's porno in terms of heinousness.

Used to quite like Rushmore, but it's superfluous now that Deep End (the movie it rips off) is available again.

Word.

Not sure what you mean by "intolerable" though, if you mean what I think you mean then that has little to do with the movies themselves.

usual suspects, rushmore a really close 2nd, se7en a really close third

i think i'll go with road to perdition. insanely underrated as far as high style action movies go, and i can't vote against lone wolf and cub on general principal anyway

Even tho' I think Usual Suspects is a BETTER movie, Taken is more enjoyable to watch to me.

citizen · Post by **citizen** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 5:00 pm

between memento and seven, narrowly picked memento. really loves joe p's performance and just having stephen tobolowsky is great even if not in a comedy role

seven is great but kevin spacey is too creepy, i never really felt like the villain payed off in the end

is the theme here something to do with the ending of the movie?

voted snatch because of the rewatchability factor, but lost in translation is the most personally meaningful movie to me.
