Fight Club: This movie is simply a male-classic. If you're a guy and you haven't seen this movie, go out and BUY it right now. You will not disappointed. First and foremost, it's filled with action and bloody brawls. But the real catch here is how many guys can relate to the content. The narrator (main character) is your typical 30-something male living in the city with a boring job who is trying to resort to his primality. It's a lot deeper of a movie than you'd expect, and the end will probably blow your mind if you don't know the twist already. Most women and children probably shouldn't watch this movie for obvious reasons.
Garden State: This movie just made me feel good about the world around me, plain and simple. Zach Braff and Natalie Portman play their characters real down to earth and the script is phenomenal. It deals with the pressures of life's unexpected turns and show's relationships in many different lights. The soundtrack is also phenomenal. I would recommend this movie to anyone except the elderly.
Requiem For a Dream: An instant cult-classic, Requiem deals with different levels of drugs and different people's addictions to them. It's more of an underground film...you won't see any special effects or high-profile actors. However, you will see a film that tears into your heart with realistic views on addiction. I'm sure you've heard the theme music, as many movies have borrowed it. I'd recommend this movie to any adult. If you have a problem yourself, you probably won't like what you see.
Seven Pounds: This movie didn't really get the best ratings from the critics, and normally that'll stop me from seeing a film. However, I went ahead and watched Seven Pounds and was amazed at how much of a tear-jerking emotional movie it was. Granted, the first half of the movie the audience is left slightly in the dark and the pieces don't really come together until the finale, but it's definitely worth it when they do. I'd recommend this movie to drama fans. If you aren't really into the sad movies, don't see it.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Personally, I can't stand Jim Carrey's movies anymore. His comedy routine is old and worn out. Yet, somehow he managed to put out this gem of a movie and pull off a dramatic role for a change. Some people describe it as incoherent, but I feel it's meant to be that way to get the point of the story across. It's a romance at heart, and will really dig into your personal values of what it means to have a relationship with the opposite sex. Did I mention Kate Winslet is in it? I'd recommend this movie to drama and romance fans. If you're a linear type of person, you probably won't like it.
