More Recommendations Wanted

Peyton Manning

Hey folks,

Due to my incredibly satisfying lie-in this morning, I wont sleep for several hours so Im looking for a film to watch - access to these films isnt a problem so name whatever ones you can think of please!

Im looking for films that are similar to these, or a film youd think Id enjoy given that I enjoyed the following:

Donnie Darko
The Butterfly Effect
Requiem for a Dream
Pi
Fight Club
V for Vendetta
Children of Men
American Psycho


Might not be the most sound list youll find, but as u can see they are films that kind of make you think. Anywho Ill leave it in your capable hands, thank you ever so much!

Arc

MrMojoRising

The Fountain
Zodiac
Elephant
The Machinist

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

City of God
Oldboy (Korean)
All about Lily Chou Chou (Japanese.. this one is... it's not really like any of the films you mentioned above except for one way.. it's ****ed up. It's kind of a drama, teen coming of age... but it's a ****ed up coming of age, to a ****ed up society. It's 2.5-3 hours long.. it's an intense experience but def. worth seeing)

Happiness (Twisted.. absolutely twisted. Hilarious)

Jello

The Prestige

Or Oldboy - watched it on Film4 the other night and was blown away.

Auvers

Get Primer if you like movies that make you think, this is one for you

Have you seen the works of David Lynch? His films have had a massive influence on many of the films you listed (in particular PI and Donnie). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000186/
His best are Eraserhead (Pi being the closest anyone has come to recapturing the style of said film), Mulholland Drive and INLAND EMPIRE. Be warned, these films are VERY odd.

I can second recommendations of the likes of Primer, Happiness etc... A Tale of Two Sisters might interest you too, as may Brick

Definetly get City of God!!! Such a great film!

If you liked American Psycho watch the Rules of Attraction. Written by the same author and stars Patrick Bateman's brother Sean.

If you liked The Butterfly Effect,then you will most likely HATE its sequel

Try Batman Begins, Crash,A History of Violance, The Departed and Rulkes of Attraction

If you havent seen them already, I highly recommend Gattaca and 12 Monkeys - 2 of my favourites of that sort

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Gotta back up City Of God and Elephant - two of the best films I've ever seen and I'm also gonna recommend Alpha Dog, just watched it and thought it was pretty cool.
