Keeping opinions at bay, allow me to say this.
"Hackers" is a cult classic, and was one of, if not the first movie, that dealt with hackers, right at the inception of computer hacking.
It's funny, actually someone suspenseful, and has a great case, great soundtrack, and was one of Angelina Jolie's first movies, aside from Gia.
A great B rate Saturday afternoon movie.
"Lock, Stock". People shouldn't go in seeing this, expecting the calibre of "Snatch", It's got Vinnie Jones, and Michael Statham, yes, but it totally lacks the hip direction and flare of "Snatch". It's very "British" in it's comedic approach, where "Snatch" is Ritchie's Americanized version. "Snatch", also beign the more quotable of the two.
As for Monsueir Cine's recommendations:
"The Station Agent" - A story about an adult dwarf who is supposidly very detached from society in a whole. He inherits a train station from a co-worker friend, and encounters 2 others who are equally as lonely, thus bringing him out of his shell, and end up becoming the best friends, while none of them ever saw it coming. They all have their ups and downs with one another, but their new found friendship triumphs in the end.
My synopsis doesn't do the movie justice. It's just a very unique, quirky, fun independent movie that deserves your attention.
