I like weird movies. The kind of movies that seem so inexplicably quirky, but at the same time there's an intriguing realism to them. The Chumscrubber is now at the top of my list.

I usually can't talk about movies without citing examples from them, in effect giving the entire movie away. I'll just say that it's on par with American Beauty, though not as artsy.

Oh, and it has Carrie-Ann Moss as a hot Californian divorcee. Uber plus.

Yea, she has a knack for choosing weird and quirky movies (she was in Memento as well as Matrix.) I'll have to check that one out; American Beauty is one of my fav movies of all time.

I did love Momento, but that bit where they spit in the cup... I could never watch it again

Memento is great because it's like a completely different movie when you watch it the second time. Fight Club was the same way. At least for me.

HAHA, you guy should watch The Usual Suspects if you like those kind of movies; it's one of the best

Agreed. The Matrix, The Usual Suspects, Memento, and Fight Club were all too awesome.

When I think of these movies, I also think of Vanilla Sky. However, I think the biggest difference is that Vanilla Sky didn't have as much violence.

Other good movies: Pulp Fiction, Snatch
