Especially ones that have cases that are machine guns!

The women cheer them on to go for "the full monty" - total nudity.Very funny movie. I first watched this with my friend. We had no idea what it was about until a little while into the movie. We just kind of stayed quiet for the first little bit not quite wondering what to do once we found out what this gem was all about. Finally we couldn't stop ourselves from laughing. Also is quite heartwarming.

- DirectorNeil JordanStarsBrad PittTom CruiseAntonio BanderasA vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.Never thought I'd feel all that bad for vampires but this flick definitely changes your mind.

It has some really messed up situations in it but that's what makes it so different and cool.
- DirectorGeoff MurphyStarsEmilio EstevezKiefer SutherlandLou Diamond PhillipsBilly the Kid and his band of outlaws are pursued across New Mexico territory by Sheriff Pat Garrett, whom the young gunslingers must face-off with if they are to reach the safety of the border.This is one of those exceptions to the rule of sequels.

- DirectorKinji FukasakuStarsTatsuya FujiwaraAki MaedaTarô YamamotoIn the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill one another under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.This movie made my jaw drop more than a few times.

- DirectorTim PopeStarsVincent PerezMia KirshnerRichard BrooksThe spirit of the Crow resurrects another man seeking revenge for the murder of his son.I really thought Vincent Perez did a great job with this.

It made me feel like I wasn't inside being sick but it made me feel like a camper.
- DirectorRobert RodriguezStarsHarvey KeitelGeorge ClooneyJuliette LewisTwo criminals and their hostages unknowingly seek temporary refuge in a truck stop populated by vampires, with chaotic results.I thought George Clooney was so badass in this movie that I started to get his characters tattoo on myself.
