Help me with my movie selections

Sad to say, but I really haven't rented many movies in the past 5 years. I have a large collection of laser discs and some DVD's. I am using an excellent DAC & headphone rig for my sound system.

I enjoy a good screen play with an involving script, strong character development, actors that do more than just collect a paycheck, an interesting plot with twists, or a movie that is bizarre and out of the ordinary. In short, it doesn't have to be an Academy Award nominee, but something more than the typical Hollywood "formula" movie for the brain-dead.

There is a good movie called Thick as Theives with Alec Baldwin. The movie is about a thief who likes jazz music. It is a cool little movie but there was never a soundtrack available. Most people liked the movie for its music.

Also, I like one called the Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Keitel. It is pretty Graphic. Even my friends who are cops thought it was disturbing.

Oh, yes. There's always the 1st and 2nd season of the HBO ROME series.

I agree with Jgiacalo about Rome. I think that series is superb, well worth watching if you are into historical drama.

I assume you have Satelite or Digital cable, if so watch IFC (Independent Film Channel).....all movies are un-cut and commercial free and it is not a Premium channel, but is usually not offered with the most basic packages.
Alot of movies mentioned here have been or are on the channel now, there are films from around the world, small low budget indie films and huge succesful films like Pulp Fiction, Fargo and others........check it out!
