I can't believe no one has mentioned the Bourne Identity, Supremacy, or Ultimatum.
Well paced action films, but I do flinch at the not infrequent use of the Lord's name in vain.
I really have a hard time believing that anyone can watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show
Not a Meatloaf fan?
It very well could be the perfect movie.
However, I have to say that from a writer's standpoint, I absolutely love the concept of "Vantage Point" with the way they handled each point of view and the little bit of information you got from each person to put the whole story together.

That was a cool movie...I think. I know I was really intrigued by the concept of that movie and thought it was well done, but at the end of it I don't know if I really liked that actual movie. What did you think?

The ending almost didn't do the movie justice. We can talk specifics via PM if you want (since I have to assume not everyone reading this has seen it), but from the amount of intensity it created, the ending we were expecting never really delivered.
Maybe they overkilled all of the drama?
Pulp Fiction is filled with bad language, but also, interestingly, Scripture. There is a good/evil struggle going on. One Scripture-quoting hit man makes it out of his deathstyle/the other doesn't. There actually is repentance. Those getting killed are not, as I remember, innocent victims. Drug abuse is portrayed as deadly. So while I don't recommend Pulp Fiction, mostly because of its incredibly vulgar language, at least there is a there there.

Actually the "scripture" that Samuel L. Jackson quotes was written by Quentin Tarantino. If you look up Ezekiel 25:17, you will see that the only part of that quotation that is actually in the Bible is the last sentence.
Also, my kids like the Muppet movie about the Dark Crystal. And the Neverending Story.
Agreed on Green Mile and Shawshank. King is a gifted writer and does not just write horror. His "Stand By Me" is a beautiful novella.
Sergeant York (1941) Another good wholesome movie. And a fantastic true story at that!We also like Sergeant York.
The Painted Veil
Indeed. I'd add Stand By Me for several reasons.... Not one for language-faint of heart, and one I'd wait a bit for my children to watch, but a movie that's really good (in my opinion).I've been known to appreciate The Big Lebowski on occasion...
Great choice!
I want to add another movie. "The Goonies"... It might a generational thing..
Winter's Bone, and 3:10 to Yuma.
