I give this thread a 9.3.

Pig can't get into Michael Bay movies. Too "arty" for him to wrap his feeble little mind around...

That's true. Maybe Coyote Ugly?

I give that post a 9.8.

Both excellent suggestions but after recently watching The Day After Tomorrow, I think it may have spoiled all other movies for me. Epic win all over that film, especially the part where the freezing blast was held back by a wooden door.

Okay, but it was not in my list as I only recommend movies which I know and I've never seen (and was never interested to see) Performance.

Happiness of the Katakuris by Takashi Miike in 2001. It has everything I've ever wanted out of a film. It's not to be confused with his more famous ultra-gore shocker movies like Visitor Q and stuff. It's brilliant.

This. If you want Japanese gore try the Guinea Pig series.

Sorry, okr. I didn't mean to offend. You should look into Performance. It's a great film.
