    requiem for a dream
    donnie darko
    apocalypse now
    raging bull

    Only one I watched is Raging Bull..

    Everytime I tell myself I'm gonna watch Apocalypse Now, I get this feeling its gonna be ? so I dont.

    I'll probably never watch it.

    Never seen Requiem for a Dream
    Donnie Darko is solid, a little weird but good.
    Apocalypse Now was okay in my opinion
    Raging Bull was as good as people say it is.

    Seeing as how you have a quote from one of TV's greatest characters Al Swearengen, and an avi pic from Game of Thrones, you obviously have good taste in entertainment. So you'll probably like those movies.

    full metal jacket was over rated, r. lee ermey was the best part of that movie.

    in fact stanley kubrick is over rated too.

    The Second Half Wasnt As Good As The First...But To Say The Man Is Overrated You Must Not Be Familar With His Work ...Everybody Prays At The Altar Of Kubrick...? My Man Scorsese Is My Favorite Director But He Aint Touchin HIm Either...Damn Near Every Movie Hes Put Out Has Been A Game Changer...Sci-Fi, Dark Comedy, Drama, Horror Hes Mastered It All And Done It Better Than Anyone Else
