Scoop
1 recommendation
"An aspiring reporter gets a break when she gets the scoop of a lifetime. The catch is that it comes from a ghost, while she is taking part in a magic trick. Her and the magician set out on a journey and it's a wildly enjoyable one."
Shallow Grave
1 recommendation
"Danny Boyle is one of my absolute favourite directors. Every film he makes is in a different classic genre, and he encapsulates each one perfectly while adding his own twist to it. Shallow Grave was his first film and paired with screenwriter John Hodge and producer Andrew Macdonald (the trio would go on to make The Beach, A Life Less Ordinary and The Beach), he has created a wonderfully Hitchc..."

""Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES." In my book, this will always go down as one of the all time classics. Completely hilarious and will be enjoyed generation after generation"
American Psycho (Uncut Killer Collector's Edition)
5 recommendations
"Christian Bale is the sexiest yuppie of all. He is smart, successful and has great status in social circles... we'll just forget about the fact that he is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Learn from his success not his failures."
Swimming With Sharks

"So your boss is cruel and abusive. So what happens when his whipping boy has had enough. Trouble of the criminal kind. Kevin Spacey is psychotic in this movie. You can't help but cheer on the poor sap who has had enough despite the viciousness of his revenge. (Kevin Spacey, Frank Whaley and Benecio del Toro)"
The Darjeeling Limited

"I just saw this movie last night and I am so glad I got to. Once again, Anderson's film strikes a chord with me. I could watch this over and over again and never get bored."

The City of Lost Children
3 recommendations
"Fantastic movie. Yes, it has the word 'children' in the title, and there's quite a few children characters in it, but it's definitely not a movie for kids. 'The City of Lost Children' is the ultimate phantasmagoric movie. Lots of things in it don't make much sense, but it's okay, because you're just watching someone's weird nightmare. Hopefully it's not yours. Original title: La Cité des enfan..."
Heathers
5 recommendations
"Before Mean Girls there was Heathers. So dark for a teen flick. But funny."
High Fidelity
9 recommendations
"John Cusack at his dry, self-effacing best, as a hopeless bachelor with a yen for vinyl - records, that is. Carried many a high school nerd through the difficult years. Palatable production values, attractive players, and a not-yet-patently-offensive Jack Black make this an easily digested watchover."
Harold and Maude
10 recommendations
"This beautifully shot romance captures the hope of the flower children, bordering occasionally (or consistently) on the syruppy and sentimental. No matter, though - the Cat Stevens soundtrack puts you in the mood to be indoctrinated, and the adorably morose Bud Cort plays a welcome foil to Ruth Gordon's blissed out octogenarian."

"This is a wonderfully quirky and provacative film with great cinematography"
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Two-Disc Special Edition)
2 recommendations
"Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor light up the screen with their flawless boozy portrayals. Can you say mean drunks?"
Weeds - Season One
3 recommendations
"This has recently become my one of my favorite show to watch. This dark comedy about a suburban housewife dealing weed to the neighborhood of luxury homeowners is deep, poignant and hilarious."
Little Miss Sunshine
25 recommendations
"Dysfunctional family comedy. Great dark humor and satire, poking fun at beauty pageants, motivational speaking and much more. Greg Kinnear and Steve Carell headline a great cast."
Annie Hall (1877)
7 recommendations
"Romantic adventures of neurotic New York comedian Alvy Singer and his equally neurotic girlfriend Annie Hall. The film traces the course of their relationship from their first meeting, and serves as an interesting historical document about love in the 1970s. The film stars Woody Allen as Alvy Singer, Diane Keaton as Annie Hall, Tony Roberts ..as Rob and Carol Kane as Allison. The inimitabl..."
Pleasantville (1998)
2 recommendations
"A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a "Leave it to Beaver" style 1950's television show, complete with loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and w..."
Election (1999)
2 recommendations
"Matthew Broderick plays his usual low-key but unsparing characterization of Jim McAllister, a high-school teacher at George Washington Carver High School in Omaha, Nebraska. Driven by a strange mixture of loathing and lust for pathologically overachieving student Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), McAllister encourages a dim but popular athlete, Paul (Chris Klein from American Pie), to run against h..."
Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season
3 recommendations
"Dead Like Me is one of the smartest and funniest dark comedies ever. Unfortunately, this show about death met an untimely demise itself (after only two seasons), so fans of the show have to either catch it in the land of reruns or purchase it on DVD. I own both seasons and I love everything about the show, especially the smart writing and the way that grief and death are handled in the show. T..."

"Let go of all your expectations for what this movie is about before you watch it the first time. It's really not what you're thinking."
Happiness
2 recommendations
"From the director of "Welcome to the Dollhouse," Todd Solondz comes a dark comedy about sex, perversion, and loneliness through the lens of a dysfunctional family. It's an insightful, thought provoking and often times revolting film that is on my top 10."
Weeds Season Two
2 recommendations
"If you love Kevin Nealon from Saturday Night Live and Romany Malco from the 40 year old virgin then you will love Weeds. Season one opened up with a bang as you are introduced to Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker), a housewife drug dealer and her cohorts (Nealon and Malco). In season two, the characters become more developed as Botwin's dysfunctional family unites to keep the family business (marij..."
