    ^^^^ I agree, Pi was excellent - don't know if its that old though

    I saw the seventh samourai the other day - truly a masterpiece

            All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

            So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

            1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
            2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
            3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
            4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

            Am I close here?

                Now thats a list...dead man with depp is one of my favorite films...its got great music as well.
                The reason I started this thread is that I was raised on b&w films and loved a lot of them as a kid but I can't remember specific names since it was a while back...so thanks I've seen most of these but not all...

                        I say Seven Samurai is my number 1.

                        the 47 Ronin is another,

                            i like Coffee and Cigarrettes ... favourite scene has to be the one with Rza and Gza and Bill Murray .. White Stripes with the tesla coil is quite funny

                                The Man who wasn't there i thought was quite good. (AKA The Barber Project)
                                Probably the best Billy Bob Thornton movie i've seen.


                                Pi i enjoyed too - all fans of Darren Aronofsky (THe fountain, requiem for a dream) probably would.
