Check out KING RAT from 1965. About POW’s in Japanese camp. The sea and the jungle kept the prisoners at bay, but surviving is the story here.

-Life is Beautiful. It’s Italian and so great. It’s not action but it’s a great, great story. Roberto Begnini is a fantastic director.
-Shattered- Gerard Butler and Pierce Brosnen. It’s entertaining.
- Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood… need I say more?
-Mr. Brooks. So good. It’s a thriller.. and incredibly deep. One of those root for the bad guy to win sort of movies.
-Rear Window – Hitchcock. Brilliant. James Stewart and Grace Kelley. It’s great.
-Chinatown.

Since you like kung-fu action movies you just might love some of the movies Jackie Chan made in Hong Kong, especially the first three Police Story films (if you haven’t already seen them). Quentin Tarantino loves them.

As for a fun sci-fi film, I can recommend Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel, a really funny British sci-fi comedy.

Sunshine by danny boyle — the movie and soundtrack are incredible.

after you watch it, watch tarantino’s critique and see if you agree.

“Next” is the name of the Nic Cage movie Justin Frost above is referring to. adapted from a short story by Phillip Dick (Minority Report, BladeRunner, Paycheck, Total Recall, etc.) All of these movies are good sci-fi fare

Brian’s Song. Billy Dee Williams and James Caan are amazing in this true story about Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo.

Good dramas: Happiness by Todd Solondz, Storytelling by Solondz as well, Waltz with Bashir, to mention a few.
Don’t know if you’ve seen the new Star Trek but if you like SciFi you’ve gotta love it. Really nice.
