So Friday we are going to christen my friends new home theater system by having a movie night with 10-15 people, and I'm in charge of finding movies to watch. I've decided that you are going to help me. Anything will do but I want to stay away from the gung-ho action movies or too many comedies. No chick flicks please.

[Scrubbin_Bubbles]

Hostel
A Bronx Tale
Lady In White

[Scooby]

Heat if youre gonna have any action movies.
Stay
Snatch
Salton Sea
13th Warrior

[Jackalope]

fuck hostel it's worse than any b movie I have ever seen.

boondock saints do it.

[GOG427]

big trouble in little china or pulp fiction

[log1c]

Pulp Fiction would be great, I agree.

I would also suggest:

Kill Bill
Catch me if you Can

[couturedharlot]

agree about hostel being shit, go for walk the line

[Jamsan]

batman begins

[ivanolo]

Robin Hood: Men In Tights

[trancosrt]

I agree with Men in Tights for a comedy and Batman Begins for an Action movie. I've traditionally tested my HT systems with The Matrix (the first one, mind you), but you could go with Reloaded for more sound/graphic effects.
Check Garden State out for a semi chick/emo section (although is neither of those actually), and "Nueve Reinas" (or Nine Queens in English) if you can find it or Confidence, it's American remake for good semi comedy/suspence thriller. Both are quite good but I like the original better, specially since it's Argentinean, just like me .

Finder's Fee.

Really good. And you can probably count on the fact nobody has seen it yet, which is important.


Date Movie.

Funniest movie I've seen.


Spartan.

Awsome, intelligent action.

[Chris]

Heat
Heat

Seriously, if you really wanna christen his home theater, wait for the shootout scene and put that sucker on max.

[hans5849]

a beautiful mind is not a mind fuck, its kind of screwed up but not a mind fuck, try Requieam for a Dream for a mind fuck.

[mistawiskas]

I want to stay away from the gung-ho action movies or too many comedies

That leaves me out.....I was going to suggest 'Behind Enemy Lines'

I don't watch much more than sci-fi, action, or comedy. Not much else tends to hold my attention.

I wouldn't call Requiem a mindfuck, Requiem is just disturbing.

Donnie Darko is a mindfuck.

[Torx]

requiem let me down on so many levels, i dont understand why everyone liked it.
KIDS is better than requiem as far as disturbing teen behaviors

may not be a mind fuck to me or you, but definately was for HIM, lol

[super_Chris]

Lock Stock and two smoking Barrels
Insomnia
Pirates of Silicon Valley(kind of a joke, but not really)

[djsoulriot]

I think it's important to know if this is going to be the kind of gathering where everyone is taking the movie's seriously or if it's more of a walk around and socialize while the movie is playing.

If it's more of a serious thing, then some films like:

21 grams, Saving Private Ryan, Fargo, Trainspotting, or Being John Malkovich, A Clockwork Orange, or Full Metal Jacket.



But if it's more of a leisurely thing, stick with stuff that people can walk in and out of like:

The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, or Arachnophobia.
