Need movie recommendations
 
I feel like I've lost my drive to write so I'm trying my best to get inspired. I'm looking for some really solid flicks out there. Here's some of my favorites that I've been watching to give you an idea of tone:

American Beauty
Virgin Suicides
Closer
Bang Bang You're Dead
Crash

Any good recommendations?

Which Crash?

Watch "The Departed". Not completely the tone you're going for but it has some extremely well written dialogue.

Try 21 Grams, it's kinda like Crash in the interwoven stry kinda way. It's really good.

Krutch 03-03-2010 02:02 AM

Crash with Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon...

Departed was great :) But yeah, not really the tone I'm looking for. Still, awesome flick!

Had to ask. I assumed it was that one but there's always the other one.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115964/

Almost no one knows about it but it has Casey Jones in it.

Interwoven stories? "Go" has that, and it's funny to boot.

Imdb doesnt list it, but if I remember correctly, isnt Casey Jones in both?

Isn't he the guy who goes up to Terrence Howard's character suggesting the black guy in the script is speaking too articulate?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Smart People
Blues Brothers

I am just amazed you have even heard of that version. That is a very strange Canadian movie by David Cronenberg... and yes thus Casey Jones is very Canadian.

Anyways in regards to movies you should watch... hmm I am assuming you are looking for movies based on the writing style so you can work from there? That also depends on what type of movie you want to write??

Try 11:14 for more interwoven type movies. It's the dark humor type, too.

I think that's Tony Danza.
