Rain man anyone? O.o
A truly wise man can entertain a thought without accepting it. A fool cannot withhold past judgments but instead closes his mine to new possibilities. Someone who wants to innovate simply needs to forget what everyone says isn't possible.

Re: Must see movies
I'm going to go with some movies that many people may not have seen before:
Ed Wood (one of my all-time favorite movies)
Iron Giant (amazing 2D animated movie, loving 1950's Cold War era vibe)
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (Paul Newman as an a-hole sheriff in the 1800's)
The Ten Commandments (top-notch AAA storytelling, and maybe the first real "Special FX" film)
Metropolis (really, really ahead-of-its-time silent movie with an evil robot woman in it!)
Crimewave (early Sam Raimi movie that proves he was the right man for the job of Spider-Man)
Up (somehow Pixard keeps making "its best movie ever" over and over again)

Up was a fine enough movie, but middle of the road as far as Pixar is concerned for my money.

Re: Must see movies
I just got around to seeing American Pie and I have to say I was surprised.Yes it was crude at times but it really did have a few strong messages. It's wasn't the best but much better and slightly different than I expected.

Re: Must see movies
Its not a must se,e but puts an interesting perspective on teenage sex .I never would have guessed American pie wanted to teach me a life lesson. You may want to wait till you are older to understand it though.chainfire95 wrote:wow, american pie, a must see?

I have all the perspective I need on teenage sex. Why get more involved than necessary.
