Le Grand Boeuf and Die Hard 4.0?. . . are you mad!

LGB is one of the best films ever made, but please, not DH4.

My fav documentary: The weathermen. These pissed off Vietnam protesters had enough and were willing to make some noise in order to stop an unjust war. The movie interviews several members of the organization and their motivations. This is deep, philosophical stuff - these were not english soccer hooligans.

His Girl Friday-the greatest of the screwball comedies and shows how news has not changed.
Everything by Wes Anderson-start with Bottle Rocket and go from there. Love or hate, he is worth checking out. Rushmore and Royal Tennenbaums are probably the most univerally appealing. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou seems to separate the hardcore devotees from dilletantes, but I found it moving, hilarious and beautiful.

Glad to see you've got The Lives of Others with you. Excellent movie, and very hard to believe that Ulrich Muehe (who starred in it) is no more.

You might also like Paul Verhoeven's 'Zwartboek' ('Black book'). It's a bit of a potboiler but was very enjoyable, and Carice van Houten is excellent in it.

Idiocracy. Hilarious social commentary movie directed by Mike Judge. "he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive."

I've seen Memento and Miller's Crossing.

I liked both.

I've seen and enjoyed both movies.

My mother however made me feel guilty for liking Life is Beautiful because it made the Nazis look kind of okay. She didn't think a comedy should take place in a concentration camp. She has a point, imho.

Not sure what you like, but The Year of Living Dangerously is a great, intense Peter Weir film, one of his best.

I like TV show DVDs in catch-up mode -- I think you do too (The Wire) -- I highly recommend Californication, despite the cliched title it's great -- funny, profane, dirty, adult, sad, wise....

I just watched 42nd Street, a Busby Berkly flick. It had many wonderful facets and was fun to watch. Ruby Keeler was the star.

In the teach a man to fish department... What I did when I found myself in your situation was put out the call for Netflix Friends. It shows the list of what they are watching and queuing. Lots of good ideas. One of my people is into esoteric films. Consequently, the Assassination of Richard Nixon is on my list. He says it's fabulous.

- The funniest: "Monty Python and the Holly Grail" / "Life of Brian" / "The meaning of life"
- The best French movie: "La grande vadrouille" http://www.imdb.com/title/t...
- One that I like: "Pay it forward". I've met Mimi Leder, she's smart, and nice.
and also: M.A.S.H. / American beauty / Usual suspects / Crash / The Good, the Bad... :-) / Little Big Man...

AND THE BEST OF THE BEST: "The deer hunter"
