Most of you guys have said some of my time old favorites, so I'll just add one to the pot.

Australia man, that movie was awesome. Hugh Jackman and his crew, loved their performances.

Nicole did a great job as well!

Wow! Some of these I've seen others I haven't, which was the goal of this thread: find some cool movies to watch. :)

I'd say Australia is good, too. I like the X-men films as well.
Dead Again is a suspense film that I enjoyed, and forgot about it last time.

The Seven Samurai is still one of my top 5 recommendations. Over three hours long, black and white in Japanese, with sub-titles, :lol: but after a few minutes, you get used to reading and the film just draws you in. (y)
Of course there's the American Western adaptation of it: The Magnificent Seven. In color, in English, made several years later, but I just like the sword-swinging Samurai version better. :)
OK, I'm showing my ignorance. What is POTC? :confused
