Default Movies that you have seen recently that blew you away..

Hey all

What movies have you seen lately that totally knocked your socks off?

I saw The Dark Knight (latest Batman Movie) last week and I couldnt help myself to see it again a few days later. Heath Ledger's performance of The Joker was absolutely brilliant and he has to get an oscar for that role in his absence. We truly lost a great actor. May he R.I.P. Will never forget his catch phrase "Why...so...serious???".


What else have you seen?

Deliverance

Google "Deliverance Redneck Scene 2" if you dare. NSFW

The Dark Knight was the first movie I saw at an IMAX but if you only ever see one there make it that one! F**KING AMAZING!! That crystal clear gigantic screen really makes the movie worththe $13.50 ticket price. Plus, you get your moneys worth at 2 1/2 hours long! don't think I looked away once, truely a great movie and can't wait for pt 3 (orpt 7 if you count the old ones, 8 with the old adam west movie).
Other than that I watched Street Kings last night, it's worth a rental if you get a chance.

I would love to watch it on the IMAX, but we had one here in Cape Town, but due to the price (not that expensive compared to yours) R70, about $10, scared the people away and it got scrapped cuz nobody was watching movies there anymore.

I freaking loved the IMAX, especially the documentaries they showed.

Pineapple Express was extremely funny. I'd say thats worth $10.

I want to see Tropic Thunder

Dark Knight was good but it's getting vastly overrated. I liked the 1st one more
