There are a few movies (many older) that I have just not gotten around to seeing but really want to see. If you have seen any of the movies below, let me know what you think/thought of them:

Donnie Darko
The Machinist
The Company Men
The Italian Job

I've seen Darko and The Machinist of those four. Darko I love, it's unlike any movie I've seen before. Real thought provoking dark scifi/horror. The Machinist is also very dark, and shows Christian Bale's acting range. It's kind of a disturbing story, made more disturbing by the fact that Bale looks like a holocaust survivor.

I agree wholeheartedly with blunthead on the first two. I've also seen The Italian Job. Eh. Cars chases & capers movies don't do much for me.

(Maybe OP will allow me to contort the concept the thread has used so far enough for me to ask what movies that I've seen have [herein find the perfect example whence the colloquialism "y'all", instead of "you", emerges not only handy, but required] seen? I mean perhaps other than the biggies, such as Titanic and The Graduate). Has anyone seen Guilia and Guilia (aka, Julia and Julia), starring Kathleen Turner, Gabriel Byrne, and Sting?

No another....

BLACK SWAN
Very strange, intense movie. Graphic sex between Natalie Portnam and Mila Kunis, if that bothers you. It was interesting, as all of the Aronofsky movies I've seen are, but harsh. Not one you forget about easily.
I'm not seeing a downside to this movie so far Skimom:)...just kidding, I've seen Black Swan, very weird flick. Natalie Portman portrays the character very well.

LOL! Agreed. It was a good movie. Some people might be put off by that scene, though (I know my daughter just about died--she didn't know it was there and she was watching with me and The Man--lol. "Some things just can't be watched with your dad in the room," was her statement later :D)
