Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I'm so glad somebody else liked Dead Silence. Those puppets were really fricking scary.

I don't want to create a new thread, so I'll just post it in here.

I was just curious if anybody has seen "Hitman"?

The movie is barely going to be released here in Japan in like 2 weeks, but I got 2 free tickets(from Famitsu.com! haha) for a special screening this Friday. I'm going to check it out anyway (free!), but I was just wondering if it was any good or not? reasonable?

There's a good thread on Rotten Tomatoes similar to this topic.

I went through it and compiled the movies that had good review scores on Rotten Tomatoes:

Movie	Avg.	Reviews
Ponette (1996)	90%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ponette/
A Touch of Zen (1969)	83%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/touch_of_zen/
Toto The Hero (1992)	88%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/toto_the_hero/
Miracle Mile (1989)	84%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/miracle_mile/
Dinner Rush (2001)	89%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dinner_rush/
October Sky (1999)	93%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/october_sky/
The Road Home (2001)	88%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1108624-road_home/
Careful He Might Hear You (1984)	N/A	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/careful_he_might_hear_you/
The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)	100%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/discreet_charm_of_the_bourgeoisie/
The Tao of Steve (2000)	80%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/tao_of_steve/
Miller's Crossing (1990)	90%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/millers_crossing/
You Can Count on Me (2000)	95%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/you_can_count_on_me/
The Filth and the Fury (1999)	94%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/filth_and_the_fury/
Bullet in the Head (1990)	100%	http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bullet_in_the_head/

Of course some of the other movies mentioned in the thread may be good as well but without a good review score by critics (>80%) their word has to be taken on it.

There's also another thread that mentions some of the best movies screened at Cannes over the years:

Chinatown is ****ing amazing.

A few others:

- City of Lost Children (French film, Ron Perlman, kinda like a Tim Burton film)

- City of God (Brazilian film, most excellent, kinda like a Tarantino film)

- Night of the Lepus (terrible horror film, 100% pure awesome)

- Dirty Pretty Things (very very interesting story... don't want to give it away)

- Adaptation (Nicholas Cage is pretty amazing in this)

- Punch Drunk Love (I love me some PT Anderson, also see Magnolia if you haven't already)

- Any Bogart or Grant film (North by Northwest, Vertigo, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, The Big Sleep, Notorious, etc).

- 12 Angry Men (absolutely fascinating character study)

I could keep going on and on. I watch way too many movies. If you're into classic films, I can recommend a lot of them. I went through Netflix and ravaged their classics section several years back.

A few newer films that are very good:

- History of Violence

- Eastern Promises

- Michael Clayton (great line at the end but a pretty formulaic movie overall... still good though)
