    Office Space...

    Do not underestimate how funny this film is and if you work in an office you need to watch it.

    American Flyers

    Rocky on a bicycle

    12 Angry men.

    One of the best scripts ever

    Yes office space rocks

    Id say the last broadcast, made a couple of years before the blair witch but there similar ideas, have never met anyone who has seen this film and am dying to talk about it,i cannot tell people how excellent this film is.

    4 rooms is the name of an other film, i think its the name anyway, 4 different stories about people in a hotel, and the common character, the bell boy,Tim Roth, Quentin Tatintino wrote/produced one of the stories i think and Robert Rodriguez wrote another one, and what was he later based spy kids on. Very dark but ultimitly brillient movie

    Seconded. The piano duel is spectacular and the film is worth watching just for that.

    Baseketball is good. Rudy is also a rarely seen show.

    Is that that Sean Austin Romp?

    Before Sunset is one of the worst, most pretentious films I've ever seen. If you see it in a video shop (unlikely, it's Arthouse ****) spray it with Mace and leg it.

    Ong Bak :Simply the best martial arts movie i've seen in years. Keep in mind when you're watching it that there's no CG and no wirework, all the stunts are done in camera.

    Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - Steve Martins finest hour!

    and

    Fail Safe - There's 2 version and both are great, but the 1964 original is better. It's all filmed on a sound stage and is more like a play than a film, but it is very powerful.
