Yeah, ive seen a lot of Oz(dont think my girl has, though)..but honestly, after reading so much about The Wire on this forum,I think I might have to check that series out. I was going to just get the dvd off of Netflix, but I heard that they are showing the entire first season on HBO In Demand right now. So I might just take advantage of that since I feel like we waste money with the $UPER MEGA DELUXE cable package/bundle that we barely watch.
Battle Royale
Move this to the top of your cue asap.
Too Short: Life Is: The Life and Times of Todd Shaw
This wasn't as good as I had hoped, but still worth watching I suppose.
Reno 911: Season 1: Disc 1 (2-Disc Series)
Fuck yeah, that show's funny.
WWE: The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior
Never heard of this, but I'm interested.... if its a real thing like a documentary and not just a wrestling show.
Jacob's Ladder
Good movie.
Swingers
Seriously? You haven't seen Swingers? Vince Vaughn used to be skinny.
Murderball
This is kind of a must see... these dudes are on some next level shit.
The Aristocrats
Boring. An hour and a half of one joke.

Mr. Show
If you are into BBC comedies, I think this is my favorite yet. Anyone else into this?
^ Mr. Show: Season 3: Disc 1
awesome
^ The Eyes of Tammy Faye
also awesome
^ Word Wars
Is this the one about scrabble? it was ok.
Hmm, I loved this one. Maybe not amazing filmmaking, but this doc has a lot of suspense and memorable "characters."
The doc about crossword puzzles, not so much.
My buddy has been raving about Pittsburgh with Jeff Goldblum, he tells me its hilarious.
Yeah, I liked Word Wars a lot. I also like Scrabble a lot, too..so maybe that helped a little bit(havent played in a minute, but any other online scrabble players on here?)

Wrong Turn (2003) R Horror
one of the best hicksploitation movies out there. I learned a lot from this film.
DCastillo claimed to be unbeatable... until I whooped his ass online. I was suprised to learn that the world series of scrabble was in san diego. I had never even heard of it.
i always recommend "the cruise." its a dope documentary on a new york tour guide. trust me, this dude is bonkers!
I just watched the trailor for it. Is your "buddy" a girl by chance? Just sayin'..it kind of came off as a chick flick in the preview(but then again, you surely can't judge a film by that, either). Just wondering.
Hell yeah! I caught that on Sundance or IFC..loved it. He is a character, for sure.
Sorry, but I totally ignored this question in my last post. I enjoyed American Hardcore..but then again, I am not someone who hardly has the personal attachment to that scene like some people might, so I am sure there are harsher critics of it than I might be.
I really enjoyed it. Mostly for the original footage. Especially of Bad Brains. Not incredibly informative, but worth watching in my opinion.
Yeah, partially inspired by this doc and the book Word Freaks (which follows a lot of the same Scrabble players) my friend and I used to have a regular records and Scrabble night and we got to the point where we were generally scoring in the 400s. My schedule changed so I had to stop playing on the regular but I think he still does so I wouldn't be surprised if he's scoring higher now. But neither of us could play on a clock like the pros do.
I'm interested in this, but haven't seen it yet. A Bmore friend took a lot of the OG still photos used in the film... and the director came to the fest I work for and was a nice guy.
Yeah, those guys are Frickin' amazing. They really take that whole shit to another level.
