[QUOTE=Jtg811;39037520]modernly made depressing as fuck post apocalyptic movie like the road[/QUOTE] Threads Seriously bleak, but it's an 80s movie, so not sure if you consider that "modernly made."

[QUOTE=ZeroMinus;38972707]Scariest film out there?[/QUOTE] The Chiller channel has a nice collection of cheap-o horror flicks. Most of them are decently scary and pretty cheesy, but occasionally you'll find a diamond in the rough.

something with an artistic/experimental edge sort of like Drive

Pretty much all of Nicolas Refn's films. Valhalla Rising, the Pusher Trilogy.

[IMG]http://content8.flixster.com/movie/11/14/68/11146886_det.jpg[/IMG] Is "The Ladykillers" a good one? I've been meaning to see some more Coen movies, and I enjoy the acting of Hanks, Simmons, and Wayans. It has pretty mixed reviews, though.

Any historical movies that are good based in the time of the Roman Republic/Empire? I've seen Gladiator and The Eagle, but I can't find any more.

Revenge movie like Law Abiding Citizen?

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;39079053]Revenge movie like Law Abiding Citizen?[/QUOTE] Kill Bill is the best revenge movie

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;39079053]Revenge movie like Law Abiding Citizen?[/QUOTE] korean revenge movies are good. I Saw The Devil or Oldboy (law abiding citizen is terrible)

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;39079053]Revenge movie like Law Abiding Citizen?[/QUOTE] Harry Brown or like Rusty suggested a Korean movie. Pretty much every Korean gangster movie has the main character taking revenge on people halfway through. Examples: The Man from Nowhere, A bittersweet Life, Sunflower.

It's been said, but Kill Bill's another good revenge movie.

Looking for heist movies like Inside Man.

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;39079053]Revenge movie like Law Abiding Citizen?[/QUOTE] Oldboy.

Bank robbing films?

The Bank Job The Killing Reservoir Dogs Inside Man [QUOTE=frdrckk;39083637]Looking for heist movies like Inside Man.[/QUOTE] See the above, minus Inside Man. [editline]4th January 2013[/editline] The Town isn't bad either.

and Heat

Oh, fuck yeah, Heat. I can't believe I forgot that one.

You know what else I can't believe, we forgot Dog Day Afternoon

I watched perks of being a wallflower and really enjoyed it, do any of you guys know any similar films? Someone I know suggested Mysterious Skins, which follows the same kind of storyline but it wasn't as good.

So, I'm kinda searching some good war movie that takes place in a snowy region. I always loved movies with snow in them.

[QUOTE=Dbuhos;39110319]So, I'm kinda searching some good war movie that takes place in a snowy region.

I'm looking for a movie that will a) make me feel inspired or b) make me want to go on an adventure. Kind of open but I haven't seen many movies.

For adventure: The Indiana Jones films and Romancing the Stone should be pretty good.
