I read the book but haven't seen the movie. Mordecai Richler wrote it and has a lot of good books. I think he's best known for The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Plus he's Canadian (Oops...my nationalism is showing).Barney's Version (2010) - starring Paul Giamatti
Saw it a few years ago, ran across on cable, I had never heard of it, so, maybe I'm wrong and it was wildly popular. Either way, I loved it.
He was way over the top in the movie 'Shoot 'em Up' and I mean that in a very good way. I loved him in that.Imho Paul Giamatti is one of the very best actors. He's wonderful in The Illusionist, for instance, and he's very versatile, making all of his characters totally believable.
This is a fantastic movie. I try to get people to watch it . Sissy and Anne give unbelievable performances'Night Mother with Sissy Spacek
Shotgun Stories with Michael Shannon.
I used to could stomach hardcore horror flicks but found out after watching Wolf Creek (stopped half way through) that I couldn't. The sounds of bones popping and dismemberment and stuff like that makes me cringe. Guess I'm wussing out. I love to be scared but I don't enjoy the torture porn movies. I've never heard of it but I will try to find.Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986). I dunno, some of you may have heard of this flick, but I never hear cats talk about it. Michael Rooker (of Walking Dead and Mallrats fame) stars as a Roman a clef style Henry Lee Lucas in a VERY disturbing flick. Oh, it's a hard one to watch. Give ya nightmares and make ya sick...but ain't that what good horror movies supposed to do?

Like Tobe Hooper's TCM? The soundtrack and sounds alone are blood curdling, lol.It's rough, man. But in a more psychological manner. It'll get inside yer head and pee on the furniture. Just...icky.
