Hey guys. Im new to this whole "movie buff" thing. I enjoy watching movies, but recently it seems like there is so much shit out there, im 15 and i want to see some awesome independent/underground stuff. Im really open to any movies. The movies i like are usually pretty dark and gloomy, such as....Fight Club (great book too, and the author has many other great books) American History X, Natural Born Killers, Helter Skelter, and the FIRST matrix. I like a lot of Oliver stones stuff that i have seen, NBK, The doors, JFK.
I know theres a lot of good stuff out there, but i just dont know where to look. If anyone can recomend any movies that are simialr to these, please go ahead and tell me! or if you know of any movies you think i would like based on the movies i have enjoyed so far. Thank you! im open to anything, im willing to give anything a shot, even if its an independent film.
Irreversible
I Stand Alone
Happiness
Donnie Darko
Kids
Man Bites Dog
Requiem for a Dream
Pi
Henry - Portrait of a Serial Killer
Monster
28 Days Later
Taxi Driver
Last House on the Left
And all Stanley Kubrick films are a must. (Full Metal Jacket, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Dr Strangelove and Paths of Glory)

Re: Im new. Looking for a certain genre of movies.
U're still young heh i can see that. well BIG BRO is watchin' u.
Basically movies and music is the story of you life,adventures,romance and outlooks on most aspects of it Philosophy,religion and so on.
We humans are in never-ending circle of life we are in MATRIX!
You've got to define your location within the Prismus Of DruHL your mindset ,dreams.losses ,defeats and so no.
Life is Hell,Storm Fury,Valley Of Despair,Conquest and Restoration.
If you want to analyse hell watch trilogies specifically Indiana Jones, Star Wars<the original>, Die Hard<SPLENDID!> and ROOTS!
Conquest see Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies.
Death and Romance read Shakespeare specially Titus Andronicus<ALL is WELL THAT ENDS WELL!>
Master Nature watch Species and Specie2.
To be a true warrior lead the Animal Kingdom so watch a lot of the National geographic channels programs.
Finally to be the ultimate killer,assassin,betrayer,lover, pssst CHAMPION you have to imagine urself in a trap of time where your most precious moments thoughts and instances<HEAVEN in short> can be contained purify it refine it define it and GIVE it to the world as the personification of wisdom and strength from personal experience<in short your PRIDE!> and BECOME a god to your SON!
U should BE on the right track NOW!
You're NOW a DOCTOR of INTRamural PHILOSOPHY!
See you when you're HERE HIGHER FINALLY!
MOVE

U got to c movies differently if u watch these specific ones u'll learn to understand that HELLFIRE and brimstone are killing movies everywhere.
I haven't seen a movie that made sense since Wim Wenders End Of Violence.
missing something here I'm a big man but movies are worse than when i wz younger. It's like watching video-games.
tell u what if Blade 3<bad vibes HERE> ever comes it's gonna be terrible coz i tell u what that guy HERO is gonna be wiped out for sure and I aint lyin!
Redefine your cousese and movie genre coz u'll be sucked int the MATRIX like everybody else.
DO not say you heard that from ME!
POWAH POWAH POWAH to the ppl INDEED!
Besides HE did SAY he was open TO anything!

hey guys thanks a lot!! I was trying to think where i could get more info on those type of movies, since there not SUPER popular but i mean, there not liek underground flicks, and since it was my first post i didnt know what to except, i was afriad of everyone flaming me if people didnt like those movies, thank you so much guys. Ill definately give those a try, ive definately heard of se7en, scarface. And what about pulp fiction? it seems like a lot of you have those in your sigs, and what about this movie called "clock work orange'? ive heard its pretty damn good. and one last thought, to Cinemaddiction what are indie films? sorry for the n00bness.
THank you so much you guys! i wasnt expecting this great of a response. please, keep hte suggestions coming! im open to anything new or old, it doesnt matter!
PULP FICTION IS GREAT! Its more of a crime movie with hitmen and all that cool stuff rather than a dark/gloomy movie, but I HIGHLY recommend it. Its my favorite.
