Yeah, I became interested in Man Bites Dog after reading about it in a movie book. Should be interesting to watch -- not exactly sure if I will like it or not, which is always a nice experience, haha.
And how could I not be intrigued by a movie with Keanu Reeves as a surfer/FBI agent?

I've always meant to watch Man Bites Dog, since it's supposed to be somewhat insane. I know I've seen it on some all-time action movie lists, and I would like to know if it's warranted or not. Either way, I'd still like to see it.
Also, I for one still like Point Break. When Keanu Reeves is sportin' a name like Johnny Utah, you know it's gotta be good.
Chasing Amy is a much better movie than I ever thought it would be. Really great surprise there. There is a LOT of really frank sex talk, but it's nothing really gratuitous or stupid, and a lot of it is hilarious. I kept waiting for the movie to take the easy way out, or do something that would really derail Alyssa's character, but it never really does.
Maybe the only bad part is that Ben Affleck is kind of awkward during some of the parts where Holden is being witty. His delivery is kind of weird, haha. But he is surprisingly good during the dramatic bits.
Paul Newman's best movie is The Hustler. One of my favorite movies ever. "Fast Eddie" Felson is one of the greats. Also a big fan of Hud, Cool Hand Luke, The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I really didn't like the FMA movie myself. I dunno, maybe I'll try watching it again sometime, but meh. ._.

Hmm... wasn't previously interested in watching Chasing Amy, but now I think I am. Will probably watch it sometime during the school year. ^^
And this makes me want to watch more Paul Newman movies. ^^
