    Primer rocks. Paycheck was a kicker, too. And if you've never seen Pi, you should probably check it out. Believers is a newer one along those lines, kinda.

    But for Woody Allen movies, my all time fave has to be 'What's Up Tiger Lily?'. He takes a bad Japanese spy movie and completely rewrites the lines behind it. It may have been his first movie, and I think it remains his absolute funniest. Kind of hard to find, though, I've noticed.

      Yeah, Tiger Lily was his first. My fave of all time of his is probably Annie Hall or The Purple Rose of Cairo.

      Pi is really great.

      Has anyone seen The American Astronaut? It's this bizarre space musical. I can't even begin to explain it. It's rather recent, I found it on Netflix. Really good.

        I thought of that one, too, a bit ago, but was sidetracked on another thread.

        I think American Astronaut is the greatest film of the century so far. No matter what I could say about it, you won't be prepared for the sheer f*cking freak genius of that oddity. It's worth the price of admission just for the music driven scene of the moonwalk from the ship to the bar. Or THE SHAVING!! And that's all in about the first ten minutes. It quickly veers into indescribability. Thanks for mentioning.
