I saw The Godfather a few years ago and loved it ever since. :thumbsup: I also loved Animal House. Oh, for new movies... KKBB was hilarious! :laugh:
There's nothing shocking about the godfather being good

Running Scared was pretty good
i also liked Hitch, thought it was gonna be really cheesy but Eva is drop dead gorgeous and paired Willy pretty well.

I'd like to add Kung Fu Hustle to the list. I thought it was going to be really bad, but it turned out to be one of the better films i've seen in recent years.
Definitely. Sort of a sleeper, not advertised or hyped much, but excellent.Originally posted by: hookinitup
the 25th Hour was a surprisingly interesting movie.

I still don't understand why Requiem is always on people's favorites lists. It's an over-dramatized, unrealistic, stereotypical D.A.R.E. movie with cinematography that gives you a headache after the first 15 minutes. It's a typical story of what MIGHT happen if you're a moron and abuse whatever you get your hands on and have absolutely no self control, all the while making every wrong choice you can. And don't tell me it's a story of your typical dope addict (heroin or otherwise), because it's not. And anyone who believes it isn't learning anything, they're just Ooh-ing and Ahh-ing at an exaggerated concept that exploits poorly-founded stereotypes for shock factor.
*ahem*
That is all.

this had nothing going for it. the lead was in a series of lame macho-bs flicks, the director was no-name, script was pedestrian. i was expecting same ol' mindless blah-blah. yet the damn execution was amazing. wow. it doesn'ts top. energy was so relentless you didn't care one wit for the lack of narrative profundity.

I'd definitely second that.
Just watched Kung Fu Hustle - the first time around I was too busy laughing, but I was amazed at how effective the use of audio effects were in the movie.
I doubt more than a few poeple would agree, but I think I <3 Huckabees was the most hilarious movie I've seen in a while.
