If you like the spooky horror stuff, I suggest popping the Discovery series "A Haunting" into your Q.

Well I have one question. How do you feel about subtitles? Until then here are some suggestions

Horror (to those of you who know me on here you will see that these suggestions are a little weaker compared to some of the stuff i watch normally lol)

I have a list of movies with creepy kids if that helps

The Strangers

Identity (psych. thriller)

Se7en


Romantic

Atonement

Legends of the Fall

P.S. I Love You

Chaos Theory

Broke Back Mountain

Heist/Crime

The Departed

The Untouchables

Goodfellas

(ok so a lot of the ones i could recommend for that would end up being mobster movies)

Comedy

Meet Bill

Heathers

Drop Dead Fred

The Babysitters


And if you like movies that are a little confusing check my list Movies That Make You Go Wha? It is a work in progress so it isn't quite done yet.

Ooh, Identity is excellent. It also makes me think of Frailty, which I highly recommend.

Why Thank You! It might be hard to tell (snickers) but I like the older movies. Back in the days when it was about how good the actors were, and the cinematography, and the scripts, etc.

So many movies today rely on CGI and "graphic" special effects, that they sort of overshadow the movie.

I still liked season 3 and i haven't seen 4 (is that the one that is on now?) but yeah you are right some things have changed. And Pushing Daisies' second season is on right now but i heard it is at risk of cancellation b/c of the lack of popularity but that seems to happen a lot w/ any show that isn't a sitcom or reality tv show these days.
