Need movie recs
Let's pretend ::cough:: that I've seen practically no new movies in the past 6 years. I just joined Blockbuster Online, and I need recommendations. What (other than The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) do you recommend? I like romance, but not too mainstream. I like drama. I like some sci-fi. Anything with a gay theme will go to the top of the list. But I'm open to anything you want to recommend.
So how about it?
ETA: I knew this kind of post would get a fair number of responses, but wow. Now I might have to actually keep my Blockbuster Online membership. LOL You can keep reccing, but I think my list is long enough for now, and plenty of them are currently available too. Thanks everybody!

Of all of those on the list though, do you have maybe 3 or so that really stand out for you?

Is the 1995 Japanese film "Shall We Dance" the original? That's all Blockbuster has listed, although even it isn't available yet.

Dog Soldiers is a very funny werewolf movie with a british cast.

I didn't actually list my all time favourite movie ever because I guessed you'd probably already seen it. It's Rear Window.

Mulholland Dr. was a good one too.

Yes it is. The difference between the two (IMO) is you get all these undertones that about Japenese society that are part of the reason that he starts taking dance lessons and why he keeps it a secret. I'm really bad at describing stuff, but sereaously, it's a good movie. Bravo sometimes airs it as well.

Good Movies
Dreamcatcher wasn't half bad...I enjoyed it
The Butterfly Effect was a great movie. Ashton Kutcher stars...and my hubby kept asking me for the first half an hour if i was sure that it wasn't 'Brian from QaF'! LOL
Enjoy!

Mulholland Dr looks bizarre... but then it is David Lynch.
Got anything where I can see Gale Harold on a motorcycle, or something that would have a similar ::cough:: effect on me? ROFL

And yes, I've seen - and LOVE - Rear Window. Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart... fabulous.

Trust me on this one. It doesn't sound like anyone's kind of movie but I don't know a single soul who has seen it who didn't love it. That includes probably a thousand customers who like all kids of films, of all different ages. It's the only movie in the entire time I've worked at Blockbuster where every single person who saw it loved it. They would seek us out to tell us how great it was.
