Hey, I sent you a friends request. If you don't get it let me know.

It's quite neat, you can see how much our "movie taste" matches and also browse queues. Good way to get ideas for movies.

Hah, suggestions for good movies you haven't seen? Here's the A's:

Absence of Malice (1981, Paul Newman as son of a long-dead mob boss & simple liquor warehouse owner, dragged into a current mob investigation)
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (Eddie Murphy, 2002, largest money loss of any film in history. Murphy as bar owner whose seedy bar on the moon blows up, so he goes on a hunt through the underground for whoever did it.)
Algiers (1938, Pepe le Moko, French jewel thief with a fortune in jewels, hides in, and virtually rules, the mazelike casbah... one policeman wants to rush in and chase him, which is doomed, but the other realizes that he is realizing his hideout is already his prison, especially since he has met a new French woman visiting the city who reminds him of the boulevards of Paris to which he dare not return. his Algerian mistress, meanwhile, is enraged...)
All The President's Men
American Dreamz (Dafoe is utterly terrifying as Rove to Dennis Quaid's likeable chump president. unfortunately there's all sorts of American Idol TV plot involved, but it's still supposed to be pretty good.)
An American In Paris (1951 Gershwin musical, Gene Kelly, staggering expense)
Amores Perros
An Unreasonable Man (2007, Nader docu)
Anger Management (Sandler & Nicholson)
The Anniversary Party (2001. Hollywood in-crowd party, ego, sex, drugs...)
Apocalypse Now
Appleseed (rewatch)
The Aristocrats (100 comedians, 1 old joke)
Arsenic And Old Lace
Art School Confidential (for the satire, not the mystery, and for Malkovich, and despite all the obnoxious ads.)
Atanarjuat (2001, Inuit myth about a rivalry between two families, and the last surviving member of one family, The Fast Runner.)
ATL (black kids in Atlanta, Georgia; remarkably great film with an especially good soundtrack, reminiscent of American Graffiti)

I can email more. Many more. :)

Still a deluging fountain of information.

"Appleseed (rewatch)"

Methinks this was copy and pasted from what would seem to be a very long personal list.

I've seen most of these, but I did add "American Dreamz" and "Art School Confidential" to my list.

Thanks!
