Find movies you might like. - General

The gist of this thread is to post a movie that you really like, and to recommend movies to people based on their choices. Kind of like netflix taste preferences, but not retarded. I'll start by saying that I really liked the movie Memento.

Some of my favorites -Reservoir Dogs -Inglourious Basterds -Goodfellas -Forrest Gump -Ed Wood -The Big Lebowski -King Kong (1933) -Eyes Wide Shut -A Clockwork Orange I've never seen Dr. Strangelove, though. I'm not sure I'd like it or not.

I think this thread would do better if there were brief descriptions of the movies people mention. I love the movie Taken, because I am a major Liam Neeson fan and I really like action movies. Taken is a movie about a man who is separated from his daughter from a divorce, and as a birthday present, he reluctantly allows her to go to Europe. His worries for his daughter come to fruition when she is "Taken" by someone who breaks into the apartment she was staying at. So badass.

I want to find movies that have that cyberpunk feel like Bladerunner and Deus Ex.

Clerks - This low budget, piece of crap movie (since the budget was under $30,000 but I totally love this movie) became a very successful comedy cult classic in 1994, and marks Kevin Smith's debut in the directing business. The story is a very great story, and while you watch this movie remember this, 37. Go watch it now and many of works of Kevin Smith My Plot Synopsis : Dante Hicks is forced to work at The Quick Stop convenience store on his day off when one of his fellow employees is sick. Another employee, and best friend, Randal Graves also comes to work as his low-maintenance job at the RST Video store, which is connected with Quick Stop, and throughout the span of the day a series of events follow, as well as conflicts with not only the customers, but both his Ex and current girlfriend. And the worst part about it, is that Dante "Isn't suppose to be here today! Theatrical Trailer [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNd8nvnmhyM[/media] [U][/U]

I have a recent craving for UK gang/crime movies after seeing Sexy Beast and Snatch. Any other British badassery I should know about? I like the gritty feel and clever wit, with the UK 'charm'.

I've been in the mood for a movie about future totalitarian states. Anyone know any good sci-fi/alternate history movies about that kind of stuff?

If you're going to recommend a movie at least tell us a bit about it. Just saying a title won't do much.
