im ordering some movies and i ran out of ideas...

im looking for some:

a) nice comedy (somthing that actually makes you laugh would
be nice) like snatch or lock stock...

b) some crazy/bizzare film: like stuff from solondz only
nastier

well if you know of any other brilliant film post that as
well please

thanks!

comedy: The Castle

its an Australian film, about a family that is being forced
to move out of their house (that they lived in for like 20+
years) so the airport can expand.

I thought it was damn funny, but it also could be that the
father in the film acted in someways like my dad does...

but yeah

*and by the part I said about my dad... its because the
father in the film has all these quirks... so I was
laughing, thinking "just like dad"

if that wasnt clear...

serious movies, sorta :
- Requiem For A Dream ( be prepared for the most powerful
movie you will ever see )
- Pi
- Fight Club!@@!12
- Donnie Darko ( very underrated, best movie of its year )
- Amalie ( quite light and fluffy )
- A Clockwork Orange ofcourse
- Run Lola Run
- Being John Malkovich ( funny, but sad )
- Taxi Driver is a must

i dunno, thats all i can think of at the moment, some of my
favourites in there :)
