Dawn of the Dead [2004]

I love zombie movies but this one was awesome.
For a few months after seeing it I thought of it every time I was in the car for more than a few minutes.
And now I can't look at any kind of structure without accessing it's defensibility against a Zombie uprising.


Jaws

I think this one needs no explanation.


The Mist [2007]

The ending messed me up bigtime.


Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Again; the ending, like The Mist, was not Hollywood.
I couldn't stop thinking about it.

The Mist was going to be on my list, but it's ending was not as mind numbing as it could have been to keep me from buying the DVD. I know that sounds nuts, yet Thomas Jane didn't sell it to me on in that scene. Though that was one of the bravest endings I've seen from Hollywood in a while; kudos to Frank Darabont for the courage to push that one.

Donnie Darko is a good mind bender. I think it took me an hour to explain it to my buddies on WTF happened.

agreed, but the scene from there that REALLY left me shaking after it ended was the scene in Casper's house where the Dane confronts Tom .. the yelling, the beat up boxer, the raging fireplace, the beating the Dane gives Tom and then WHAM! and then BAM! ...
Just like I always tell my boys.... You always gotta put one in the brain!

Raiders is good, not great. Saving Ryan's Privates was more engaging than the Spielberg film.

American History X: I think the curb stomp is one of the most realistically gruesome scenes ever.

Silence of the Lambs: Anthony Hopkins' performance is the best ever in films. Period.

Yeah American History X falls into one of those I don't need to see ever again.

As a guy the chair torture scene in Casino Royale made me thank god for the section skip on a DVD player.
