September 1, 200917 yr FWIW, I've always wanted to see this, and I went ahead and bought it for $2 today (God Bless Craigslist) so I'll get around to it soon. Make sure you aren't depressed before you begin.
December 11, 200916 yr Just watched it for the first time....what a way to get to ready for finals! :lol:

December 11, 200916 yr Thanks for bringing this up, I was trying to figure out what to watch tonight and this could be the one. After listening to the new 30 Seconds to Mars CD nonstop this week, I'm in a Jared Leto state of mind.
December 11, 200916 yr Just watched it for the first time....what a way to get to ready for finals! :lol: Yeah, that will really boost morale.
December 11, 200916 yr What level of education do you believe it should be shown in? Anything below college and you have a firestorm on your hands. How do you feel about Trainspotting?
December 12, 200916 yr I can't get my wife to watch this movie. After telling her how disturbing it was, she refuses. :lol:
December 13, 200916 yr I can't get my wife to watch this movie. After telling her how disturbing it was, she refuses. :lol: Tell her you were just kidding and it's a happy feel-good romantic comedy where Harry chases Marion's plane down the runway during the last scene until she sees him, somehow convinces the pilot to stop the plane, and gets off to run into his arms where they live happily ever after. I mean... The ending isn't that far from that... Right? :idunno::sssh:

December 14, 200916 yr I have a few good buddies of mine who were film majors in college. We got into a discussion about depressing movies one evening over summer break 4 or 5 years back and we decided to have a five-night, two-movies-each-night depressing movie marathon. We watched: Trainspotting Full Metal Jacket Requiem For A Dream Blow City Of God Schindler's List 21 Grams Mystic River Million Dollar Baby The Deer Hunter If I recall correctly, the following weekend involved heavy drinking. Then the next week most of us took part in a "favorite childhood movies" marathon. Mary Poppins and a spoonful of sugar beats the heck out of a spoonful of heroin.

I cannot talk about this movie enough. Easily the best movie of this decade.
December 14, 200916 yr I cannot talk about this movie enough. Easily the best movie of this decade. It's utterly eye-opening.

The two I bolded are two I recommend over and over and over....just can't seem to get anyone as enthused about them as I am. Mystic River may well be my favorite drama of all time.
