Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165798/

In New York, an African-American hit man follows Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai. He lives alone, in simplicity, with pigeons, calling himself Ghost Dog. His master, who saved his life eight years' ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss's daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog's hits, he is expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but does not want to harm his master or the young woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend, a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in the park, and with a child, with whom he discusses books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he does, what is his fate?

It may sound lame, but I think it's actually very good. biggrin:

Hearts in Atlantis

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252501/

This is a gentle, innocent film about the reflections of an aging man (David Morse), who returns to his home town after the death of his best friend. Memories of life at age 11 floods back as it was a magical time that changed his life. Three 11 year old children (Anton Yelchin as Bobby, Mika Boorem as Carol, and Will Rothaar as Sully) share their lives. Carol & Bobby have a special affection for one another including sharing a kiss "by which all others will be measured". Bobby lives with his mother (Hope Davis), a bitter, vain woman who looks for pleasures for herself without sharing much with her son. Into their lives comes a mysterious new boarder (Anthony Hopkins), who befriends the boy but generates distrust from the mother. As time passes, the man and boy share confidences and special powers are revealed. The man warns the boy to be on the lookout for the "lowmen", who were seeking him. The two share a summer's adventures and come to love one another before the inevitable happens. A confrontation with a school bully (Timothy Reifsnyder) also changes everyone.

A great movie, it's just good.

night of the living dead sucked, IMO, you mean the black and white one right?

28 days later was best out of them all, I have mixed feelings if they should make another. It could possibly forever tarnish danny boyle's awesome creation. I dunno what they should do, or if they should just leave it alone. One thing is for sure though 28 days later raised the bar and it'll be nice to see future attempts to top it.

Try the Return of the Living Dead series.....A little corny, but fun zombie antics nonetheless....Also check out 'Zombie' which was supposed to be the unofficial sequel to Dawn Of The Dead. Also the one Guarnere mentioned is quite good (Dead Alive - I haven't seen the other one)...

Uhhh.... rolleyes:

28 Days Later isn't even a Zombie movie as they aren't the undead, so therefore they're not Zombies. They're infected with a virus....

Night Of The Living Dead is a classic. It pretty much set the standard for all following Zombie movies, and if you look at it in that context, it is a GREAT film. I have it on DVD, and I really enjoy it. Without Notld, you don't have any other zombie movie that borrowed from Romero's dead series.

Newt is just a fucking babynuts who jacks off too Starship Trooper sex scenes.

Nicely put Trip, Night of the living dead might "suck" to you, but given its age and it being the first of its kind, its an AWESOME movie. Zombie movies wouldnt be the same without this having been released.

I love that movie even though its disturbing but thats what im into. Also Takeshi Miike is an awesome director when it comes to making a disturbing movie. Ichi the killer was my all time favorite for his movies.
