    A couple years ago, I stumbled upon a Jason Ritter movie called "Good ****". It was intense and offbeat; one that has stuck with me.

    I always recommend the Friday Night Lights series; American Horror Story is a favorite, too.

    Grave Encounters!!! Scared the **** out of me and horror movies don't usually effect me that much!!! The sequel is good too but the first one is freakin' scary!

    I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK


    I looooooved it. Quirky and sad and cute and fun.

    Korean movies (and dramas) are light years ahead of anything we do in the US. Cyborg is awesome and Bi (Rain) is especially good. Rain is an amazing actor, singer, and dancer. He is one of the hottest men who has ever walked this earth.

    Good call, girl. Good call. : )

    I really like The Chronicles of Fatboy, and Lbs. Which both deal with weight loss, life etc and are really good.
    Thanks for this, I watched both of these since you posted, and were really good movies.

    Compilation through page 6, I made this list for myself but thought I would share. Lots of copy and paste, I am sure I listed some twice and I am sure I missed some. It wasn't intentional if I missed you :cry:

    The most popular title by far was one I couldn't find on Netflix. If anyone has more information about "Bump" please post it. I assume it is a movie about the early stages of pregnancy?

    to the OP, sorry about Primer, I think that was my recommendation. A lot of people I know didn't like it. =P

    Watched a movie last night called How To Be A Serial Killer. It's an independent dark comedy and it was really good!

    I just added a bunch of these movies to my queue, and I came across one I watched years ago that was really good, Welcome to the Dollhouse. I just watched The Disappearance of Alice Creed last week. It wasn't what I expected. I really liked it.
