Glad you liked Primer. Or found it confusing enough that you need to watch it again. No worries, it happens. Glad you liked Primer. Or found it confusing enough that you need to watch it again.

I foolishly checked the Cube Trilogy boxed set which had a 2005 release. Not so cleverly highlighting my stupidity to millions... So I watched Primer. I have to watch it again. Enough said.

So I watched Primer.

I have to watch it again. Enough said.

Besides - that was 1997, so it wouldn't qualify for this list. Thanks for the comment, and yes, I don't understand the animosity some people have towards Unbreakable. @AK1980 I vaguely remember seeing a small part of Cube, but never got into it.

Thanks for the comment, and yes, I don’t understand the animosity some people have towards Unbreakable.

I get ya, Unbreakable is very, very deserving of it's place on the list. Why don't people like it?! The only film that springs to mind that I would have listed for sure is Cube. It has so many bad qualities, but I just think it's an awesome film. Cheers for the list :) Interesting list, and I’ve added a few to my viewing list :)

Those are my favorite movies also! But when you put "Unbreakable" on there and you can't agree on the "The Fountain" im baffled. Excellent work either way Erik. Maybe your fans will read this dialogue and give "The Fountain" a chance. As far as story, just remember his dying wife tells him to write the last chapter of her book ;) Oh and "Moon" looks really good! Thanks again Erik!

If memory services, I gave up on it because the release date kept getting pushed back - and once a film goes "direct to DVD," I generally assume it sucks unless I get a recommendation. As for The Fountain, I agree, there are many ambitious elements in it. I just felt that Arronofsky got a little lost in the story he was telling and it just didn't click.

Its a good list either way. Although I recommend Casshern. Its like a long Music Video mixed with politics, kung fu, comic book visuals, and a pretty good message in the end regarding human peace, all together a good story. Very Sci Fi. The Fountain is possibly my favorite movie of all time. It takes place in 3 different time settings. Its got Mayan mysticism, ancient Spanish politics and religious plots, its got modern science and the extent some scientists try to go defy death. Its got possibly the coolest spaceship any Movie ever has come up with. And in the end its got a Dying Star scene that looks freaken amazing. Also highly recommended. Plus its directed by Darren Aronofsky who makes every movie look cool as hell. So also very Sci Fi. Thanks for your response Erik! Well no need to argue about your list. Its a good list either way.

I could see your argument for the list, but as trippy as it was, I found it underwhelming as something to watch; I therefore can't recommend it.
