[QUOTE=Sharker;41715454]Any good samurai movies? Not The Last Samurai.[/QUOTE] There are plenty of good jidaigeki films, The Last Samurai is a great film as well but I would not consider it a jidaigeki film. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Jidaigeki_films[/url] [url]http://www.imdb.com/list/e7Hy007cklQ/[/url] More notable films include pretty much anything by Kurosawa, the Zatoichi series (27 films and a tv show), and 13 Assassins for starters.

[QUOTE=Sharker;41715454]Any good samurai movies? Not The Last Samurai.[/QUOTE] I'm a little disappointed you had to specify not The Last Samurai Who do you think we are? IMDB?

[QUOTE=Sharker;41715454]Any good samurai movies? Not The Last Samurai.[/QUOTE] Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Seven Samurai

[QUOTE=Sharker;41715454]Any good samurai movies? Not The Last Samurai.[/QUOTE] Shogun Assassin

Event Horizon perhaps?

[QUOTE=Fort83;41838275]I need a really good horror movie, good as in actually good. Not cheap 'jump at camera' scares. I've seen the thing, sinister, insidious, among others. I haven't seen the conjuring yet, but are there any others?[/QUOTE] I'm finding it really hard to find such movies. A couple of movies that are primarily characterized by ominousness over "in-your-face" scares that I know of are The Others, Reincarnation, [Rec] and The Blair Witch Project. [editline]14th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=PollytheParrot;41838557]Event Horizon perhaps?[/QUOTE] And that. Though it's hard science fiction and does indeed have jump scares, if I recall correctly.

While EH does have a few jump scares, its still eerie and ominous

I also left out Ju-On: The Grudge, which is one personal favorite but I'm not sure where to place it on the jump-scare scale. [editline]14th August 2013[/editline] Speaking of horror; has anyone seen [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703199]Grave Encounters[/url]? Is it good?

I have a 4 hour car ride ahead of me. And on top of that, I have a long 24 hours of travel time a couple days after that. I've seen a SHITLOAD of movies so can anyone just generally recommend movies for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, then probably not Rolling Kansas. But then again, I haven't seen it in years, so I really don't know. I just remember it was about a bunch of friends looking for a magical marijuana forest.

[QUOTE=bdd458;41905960]Thanks guys![/QUOTE] Also because they didn't mention it, watch Stalingrad

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;41910426]A movie thats actually meaningful and not soft-core porn?[/QUOTE] I'm quite okay with both things. They tend to have a nice overall theme that makes me somewhat happy, and i'm just really in a mood to watch one

Can anyone suggest a comedy full of dry or dark humour? Or maybe something a little wilder like Django unchained. So long as it's funny and witty without being one of those awful american family things for illiterate children who can't laugh without revealing stupidity. [I]Edit: watched pulp fiction[/I]

In Bruges

So I'm supposed to watch a movie on our philosophy course and analyze it. Only requirement is, that it has to be about society or have themes regarding society (Since it's social philosophy). Any ideas?
