Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.49
my favorite recent movie. i've watched it 5 times, which is 4 times more than most of my other movies. although modern, it's almost like a great old western. a man in hiding is forced to confront his past. with violent results. it's cronenberg's best movie by far. great cast.
Children of Men (Widescreen Edition)Children of Men (Widescreen Edition)

best recent sci-fi movie. this will pull you in and hold you. alfonso cuaron and p.d.james have seen the future and it ain't good. clive owen is excellent.
Casino Royale [Blu-ray]Casino Royale [Blu-ray]

the best 9/11 movie. it will provoke strong emotions in american viewers. oliver stone's "WORLD TRADE CENTER" is also very good..
The Mothman PropheciesThe Mothman Prophecies
Buy used from: $3.97
this movie really gave me the creeps. it's supposedly based on a true story. richard gere is surprisingly good as the reporter turned participant.
OldboyOldboy
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $14.75
a revenge story inside a revenge story. very engaging and surprising. does it all add up? i'm not quite sure. i'll watch with sub-titles (instead of dubbed) next time.

The Devil's Rejects (Unrated Widescreen Edition)The Devil's Rejects (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.85
violent, anti-social, horrifying and funny. this is a horror movie that features only human monsters. it's ROB ZOMBIE'S tribute to his 1970s horror movie heroes. again, WARNING! VERY VIOLENT!
Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $5.54
one bonus. this is not a movie. it's 4 hours of career spanning live RAMONES on 2 dvds. the sound and video quality range from excellent to lousy. if your a punk rock fan this dvd set is a must. it's my favorite dvd of the year (2007).
