a few favorite movies

1. Wristcutters: A Love Story

This is a movie that many people have not seen. It has Patrick Fugit who many would recognize from his earlier film Almost Famous. Wristcutters is unlike any movie you have ever seen, I can guarantee it. It takes place in the afterlife, in a hell reserved only for people who have committed suicide. I know it sounds depressing, and at the beginning well....it kind of is - but as the story progresses it loses that initial sadness and even ends up having a very uplifting ending. Its labeled as a dark comedy and when you watch it for the second time you start to pick up on the humor. And it has the best ending of any movie I've ever seen. Just give it a chance. You can watch the trailer here.

2. 28 Days Later...

This is the king of the post-apocalyptic zombie movies. It puts all the rest to shame.

3. Slumdog Millionaire

This is the most touching love story ever.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

A staple for all us dark kids.

5. The Ring

Figuring out the mystery of Samara's life will make you want to go beyond the movie. And that's exactly what I did. I also suggest watching Ringu which is the Japanese movie that the American version is based on and reading Ring by Koji Suzuki.



So what do you think? Interested in any of these? Let me know.
