Summer School...a great late 80's/early 90's comedy by Carl Reiner... about a bunch of loser kids and their adventures in summer school. features kirsty alley as a random english teacher, and Steven Carrell...aka the guy who played Evan Baxter in Bruce Almighty...Richard Steven Horvitz, who is the voice of Invader ZIM...
definetly something to pick up at the video store
also...The Virgin Suicides...has kirsten dunst in it as a rebellious 14 year old, a very dark comedy about like 7 sisters who have really over protective parents...a film festival movie...
The Royal Tenenbaums...another dark comedy...all star cast featuring Angelica Huston, Danny Glover, Luke and Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Gwenyth Paltrow, Gene Hackman, Bill Murray, and Alec Baldwin as the narrator

Trainspotting was pretty good. But, for a great, GREAT drug movie....
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM
This film gives great insight into the horrors of heroin and the like. It's very graphic, but well worth it.
Also, Swingers.
I also liked Idle Hands.
I don't know...Most people seemed to have jumped on the bandwagon after "Mallrats." So, see any Kevin Smith movie, because they are all greatt. Jersey Girl included.
This movie sucked, I'm afraid. I got it, but I hated it. Sofia Copolla should just keep the family name and not make movies.
No...No it's not.

..and for an EXCELLENT drug movie, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I don't know what rock you're living under if you haven't already seen it.
I wouldn't advise renting any Kevin Smith movie aside from "Mallrats". They are all the same, dick and fart jokes, monotony galore, and he is sorely, sorely overrated, IMO.
"Passion of the Christ" is only for those who want to learn about Jesus's suffering, Christian or not.
Finally, as for my suggestion.
If you like movies such as "American History X", or "Romper Stomper", I''d reccomend "The Believer", with (a very convincing) Ryan Gossling.
It's a story about young Jewish male who leads his life as a Neo Nazi skin. He lives the Nazi lifetyle, but at the same time is conflicted with his true heritage and cannot decide which one he truely believes in until the very end.
It's very believable, very strong and poignant, and one of the better indie fims to come along in the past couple of years.
I like Pi
Is about a man called Max Cohen. Max Cohen was obsessed with finding the number that was the answer to the universe in Pi. Is from 1998 and the director is Darren Aronofsky
Are you SERIOUS!? Kevin Smith is not just dick and fart jokes, and I really don't know how you came to that conclusion. While he may pride himself as being the self-proclaimed "King of Dick and Fart Jokes," that doesn't necessarily mean that's all he knows how to do. Clerks wasn't just dick and fart jokes, Mallrats pretty much was, Chasing Amy sure as hell wasn't, same with Dogma, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back definitely was. Jersey Girl also wasn't just dick and fart jokes. Kevin Smith is a genius, and I would think that somebody with the name "cinemaddiction" would be able to appreciate that.
"Fear and Loathing" was awesome.
Fire>What was there to laugh at in "Requiem for a Dream?"
