'cool' movies

[nicky g]

I don't see it as a "so bad it's good" film. It's supposed to be silly - the handsome but terrioble actors, the terrible dialogue, the absurd violence- they're all deliberate IMO, and fit in with the silly commercials etc as part of the film's attempt to satirise fascistic popular culture (or something). "So bad it's good" for me means Ed Wood type catastrophes. End of Days was almost so bad it was good (but not quite, meaning it was awful).

Yea but thats the coolest line from a cool film.

Could you know less?

[Cptkernow]

Exactly.

That is what makes this film a masterpeice and one of my all time favourites.

The directors hand is at once so obvious yet subtle in its attempt to create a peice of perfect commercial trash, yet at the same time exalting in high self parody and self refrence. It is the most "knowing" film I have ever seen.

Also brillaint is the completeness off the film. It achieves its purpose to the letter and leaves nothing unfulfiled or to spare.

I could know as much as you.

P.S. I'm not saying Starship Troopers is bad. I just don't think it belongs on the "cool" movie thread given the original poster's remarks. Obviously, you do, which is why you are some sort of big, fat, smart-bug, aren't you?

Meanwhile top scientists speculate and debate the existence of some kind of forum bug.

Pulp fiction
Road to Perdition
Leon
Run Lola Run
The game
Benny & Joon (ok, a very nice but not really a "cool" movie, but Jhonny Depp is extremly cool in that film. No action hero of course, but nevertheless cool)
Kill Bill
