Damn dude, you are seriously serious about your Batman movies.

For me it goes...

1) Christian Bale
2) Adam West
3) Val Kilmer
4) Michael Keaton
94) George Clooney (lol)

I respect if your list is different, but thats mine.

Dont forget Lewis Wilson who goes right before Clooney.

One off the radar type movie that I'm betting most around here haven't seen would be "The Way", dirtected by Emilio Estevez and starring Martin Sheen.

It's a spectacular movie about finding yourself unexpectedly.

Also, big props to GF's suggestion.... as that's an awesome film as well.
 
I watched Sideways last night, it was really good. Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hayden Church are two of my favorites and Alexander Payne is great also. Check this out if you havent seen it yet.
 
Redneck Zombies. You don't even have to rent it. It's up on YouTube.

Was going to put it up in here but would probably be banned if a Mod saw it.

For sure...put Dune on there as well. I didn't realize he hasn't put out anything since 2006 - Inland Empire which was beyond surreal

I'm planning on watching that soon.

Are you familiar with Maya Deren? I feel like she was a big inspiration to Lynch.
 
Before Sunrise (Don't shy away from this romance, it's quite thoughtful)
Before Sunset (See above (hint: it's great))
Sunshine (Epic)
Primer (Mind Bending but really hard to follow in just one sitting)
The Wackness (A solid coming of age movie)
The Man From Nowhere (Korea's version of "Taken", I thought it was better though)

Movies I want to see:
Bernie
Safety Not Guaranteed
There's one other, but I can't remember it right now.

No, hadn't hear of her, but looked up some shorts on youtube like "At Land" and could see some parallels.

Will be curious to hear your reaction to Inland Empire. I wasn't expecting the heavy psychological horror aspect of the film and I remember it taking me about an hour or so afterward to settle back into reality. Super draining but well done.

Was always curious to see Elephant Man, but not sure if I ever will.
