It was made in 1990.

Wolfie
American History X surely goes on my list (I fail to take the time right now to sort through a bunch of movies within the last ten years).

Brotherhood of the Wolf was crap. It was a bunch of talking and bad CGI.

I didn't watch Elektra for the story. It paved the way for the movie to continue but that was it. The action, I thought, was worth the rental. It's really just a popcorn flick.

Kill Bill vol 1
American Beauty
Donnie Darko
Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind

tabby999
yeah i'd noticed a trend there too

Cringe
War movies are generally safe to go with erm

tabby999
i dunno, they're either hit or miss really, most people either go too heavy into the history or to heavy into the violence, they rarely get the mix right

DeVi| D0do
Full Metal Jacket is the only war movie I really like.

Cringe
I dont think so.Most of the time they are generally just the average good movie to see if your not so over-expecting.

Okay. It's obvious you people have no idea what makes a movie a great. Here are a few examples of fine cinema:

Master of Disguise
Dumb and Dumberer
Orgazmo
Baseketball
Passion of the Christ
You Got Served

I will make a longer list in the future. Perhaps by looking at the above movies, you will realize how great Hollywood can be when the decide to make great movies.

-Master of Disguise, sucked terribly: although the pacino impression was the only thing that made me wanna see the movie.
-dumb and dumberer is one of those sequels that dont live up to the original...like son of the mask.

-Passion of the Christ is a piece of art. inspiring.

Not inspiring for me but it definetly is a good film. I dont think kRonder should've put it on his little " I think other people's opinions are crap" list.

Birth of a nation (1915) and even more surprisingly Fight Club (1836) were on my list and nobody noticed them?

Oh by the way common misconception about Casablanca, thought you guys might have known better but it actually came out in 97. Confuses a lot of people though because it was shot in black and white and 'Humphry Bogart' was in it due to some clever use of CGI (just like in Last Action Hero). Also Whoopi Goldberg did a good job of pretending to be Ingrid Bergman and I believe a lot of folks of the older generation have received large cash donations to claim they watched it in the 1940s.

Maybe that's because "Fight club" (1999) is an awsome movie and should be on a persons list. and I'm pretty damn sure no movie has ever been made in 1836. re-think yourself on that one.
