There isn't really a certain genre I stick to, I'll watch anything. But lately I've been watching a lot of horrors/psychological thrillers. Memento, Shutter Island, Insidious, things like that.
Donnie Darko: You'll be saying "...what?" for days after(this is a compliment), I know I did and when I watched Memento for the first time in grade 12 Film Studies I was the only one in the class who completely understood what was happening.
Psycho: The original amazingly didn't feel dated when I watched it. It's also a great testament to this movie that after 50 years it still managed to get my heart pounding. The violins sound cliche when they're used today, but just wait until you watch this.
Lucky Number Slevin: I simply can't say enough good things about this movie. It has an amazing cast, some of the best dialogue to rival Tarantino at his finest and without a doubt the best twist since Usual Suspects.
Usual Suspects: Kevin Spacey won an Oscar for it, watch it to find out why. It also has
the best twist ever.
Children of Men: As the New Yorker simply put it, "You need to see this film".
Blood Diamond: It didn't win the Oscar for best supporting actor, watch it and join me in asking why.
Hero: It is a foreign film(Chinese), but it is the greatest martial arts movie I have ever seen.
