Burn After Reading
Awesome movie, hilarious acting by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich, I loll'd every time he said " WTF "
Can't go wrong with the Coen Brothers.
5/5
burn after reading is the best!
watching my cousin vinny now
Seriously? That's my least favorite film of theirs. The Man Who Wasn't There is the best.
Burn after reading might not be their best but it's still a great movie IMO.
So far I've seen: Burn after reading, The big lebowski, Fargo, No Country for old men, the hudsucker proxy and The ladykillers.
Not sure what my favourite is, The ladykillers would be my least favourite. I really want to see A serious man.
My favorite is O Brother, Where Art Thou? People seem to forget about that one.
Love them Coen boys.
I liked O Brother but kind of felt like the music eclipsed the film itself. For some reason I couldn't get into The Big Lebowski, but I should probably see it again.
I saw O Brother , Where Art Thou? when I was like 8 or 9, and I thought it was reeeaally boring, but I liked the Spiderman movie at the time, so I'm sure I'd actually be able to appreciate it next time.
That reminds me, I saw Fight Club when I was fairly young, and that bored the hell out of me as well. Might not have been appropraite for a seven year old to see, but I was constantly asking my cousins what the hell was going until I gave up and started playing with my old Rock Raiders Lego set. I've gotta get around to seeing that movie properly.
Agreed, I just watched Fight Club actually. I'm not too crazy about the twist ending, but I love the movie's style. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt were fantastic as well.
Fight Club is one of the best movies ever made, you'll see.
Eh... tell me why you think I shouldn't assume this, but Fight Club kind of strikes me as the kind of film that adolescent fans of really bad action films think is highbrow. I've seen bits of it and heard about the plot, and it just seems like an overrated film to me.

So, you haven't seen it yet?
Fight Club fanboys annoy me, but I'd still argue that it's worth seeing. It's easily mis-interpreted as an anarchic, anti-authoritarian movie by some of its less considerate fans (i.e. the ones who are like the film's characters) but I think it's fairly clearly mocking the protagonists of the story in a dark sort of way. Judging a well-reviewed movie like that without seeing it first is pretty lame.
No, I actually haven't, so I won't make a definite judgement about it. It's just that everything about it turns me off. I think I would have really liked it a few years ago, but probably not now. I'll probably see it at some point.

Liking a movie very much doesn't make you a fanboy. 
And you just gotta see Fight Club for yourself, it's quite unique IMO and definately in my top 10 movie list. Kind of sucks you already know the plot though, Night Owl.
I saw that too. It's called The Kung Fu Kid in other countries, I believe. It was an OK movie. Some dialogue by Jaden Smith was annoying, and some jokes fell flat. Good choreography.
Fight Club, while an interesting film, gets far too much praise from its (generally teenage) fanbase. It's a decent film and well-acted and put together, but I would not call it the greatest thing ever. It seems a lot of people love it because it's what they define as an "edgy" and "thoughtful" film, and probably end up misinterpreting it as anarchic like Smeagol said.
It's kind of like the people who similarly worship Donnie Darko, a film that feels like it shoves its style totally in your face which most people buy into easily.
Anyways...
Network
Well-written and effective satire on television and media, though I did have a few issues with it. The acting felt a bit iffy to me, it seemed like most everyone spent most of the movie yelling at each other. Some parts of the movie have aged well, others haven't, like much of the TV-related expository dialogue between Max and Diana. My favorite performance here was William Holden, probably the only major character in this film who acted out of his conscience rather than cold, calculated logic.
I really want to see Network. Seems to become more relevant as years go by.
