Seen a movie you like, but you can't find an easy way to tell the world about it? Post it here!

I will start with:

Hope I can recommend a foreign film here...Jean Cocteau's Orpheus(Orphee)

Jean Cocteau's 1949 film Orpheus is a unique delight. The film has a completely original sense of tone.
It begins as a French celebration of beat-poet aesthetics, but quickly morphs into a dreamlike travelogue into a fully realized fantasy world. Along the way, the film constantly reinvents its mood. It becomes a courtroom drama, melodramatic romance, a portrait of the suffering artist, among other things, making it more unpredictable than a film based on such a well-known myth has the right to be. For about ten inspired minutes near the end it even turns into a screwball comedy, when Orpheus is told by the judges of the underworld that he cannot ever look at his wife.

This is a marvelous fantasy film and something that has haunted me for years...well worth seeking out....

good ole nostagic drama, with a good performace from Tim Hutton. Piano player Willie (hutton) returns to his home town for his high school reunion. While back, he catches up with his old friends and contemplates marriage. Matt Dillon and Uma Thurman are also in it... as you can see from the image, d'oh! Good one though.

Yeah that was a good one El, although the thing between Tim Hutton's character and Natalie Portman's character was a little bizarre...

I've said it before i'll say it again...Waking Ned Devine...a brilliant little independent Irish film.

When word reaches two elderly best friends that someone in their tiny Irish village has won the national lottery, they go to great lengths to find the winner so they can share the wealth. When they discover the "lucky" winner, Ned Devine, they find he has died of shock upon discovering his win. Not wanting the money to go to waste, the village enters a pact to pretend Ned is still alive by having another man pose as him, and then to divide the money between them.

Taken from IMDB.

John Waters, best film...smelling is believing
When we went to the theater to see it, they passed out scratch-n-sniff cards to go along with the movie....certain scenes had smells associated with them, they'd flash a number on the screen and you'd scratch that number on your card to get the smell....still a fun movie to watch at home even without the benefit of smell-o-rama
