Four Rooms. This is a little know Quentin Tarrantino flick, but it's very good. Curdled is a good one, too. Hmm, what else?

Check out "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" if you get the chance. French, and stars Audrey Toutou (sp?) the woman from Amelie, but it is a different beast altogether, and is very good.

Just out on DVD is Flirting With Disaster, the funniest of all Ben Stiller's movies. Richard Jenkins, one of my favorite character actors, is particularly hilarious. If you haven't seen this one, you should.

Yeah, Four Rooms was really good from what I can remember. Tim Roth was hilarious. Good call, Gerald.
Can't remember if anybody suggested The Ninth Configuration. Been a long time but I recall liking it.

If gambling and scams are your thing, then you will enjoy Shade, a movie about both. It has a solid cast, good writing, and a fun style. Sly Stallone is actually pretty good as The Dean; much better than his over-hyped performance in Copland.

And if you like gambling, my wife highly recommends the Tony Valentine books by James Swain. She compares them to Hiaasen.

Hi,
Not sure if this was brought up as film favorite and worth renting, but the one that stands out most prominently for me is Shattered Glass.
Great story with a flawlessly cast Hayden Christensen in the lead.

Thanks Dave. I added it to the top of my Netflix list. I'll let you know what I think of it.

I don't know if anybody suggested this movie (lousy memory), but I recently watched "Chopper" starring Eric Bana. Bana was very convincing in this role as Chopper Read the Australian "outlaw" or whatever he should be called. A pretty good flick.

I just watched "Happiness," courtesy of Netflix, a good but VERY disturbing film. It does not leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. Written and directed by Todd Solondz, it's about one family's search for happiness, but believe me, they search in places that, hopefully, neither you nor I have ever gone. It's a controversial film, supposedly dropped by one distributor then picked up by another.

The acting is terrific. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of my all time favorite indy actors, stars along with a colorful and quite wonderful cast.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
