Totally agree with Existenz. While I liked that flick, it would definitely have been better if the first few minutes didn’t exist. The ending would have been a bigger surprise.

Superbad = win because of the cop/kid.
Brick = good because it was something different.
Primer = awesome, but way too confusing. I don't think anyone understands it fully.
Sunshine = good, but not amazing.
The Fountain = shit storyline.
Existenz = awesome, but maybe only because I missed the first 5 minutes.

Cool, I'll add those flicks to my list. I have heard good things about
Sunshine. I didn't care for The Fountain as it was too out there in terms of
the plot. I do agree the visuals were cool.

Cronenberg, I have mixed feelings on, but I feel moved to continue with his
stuff. I haven't seen Naked Lunch in a while.

Also, check out "Sunshine" for another interesting sci fi movie. This one definitely has some spectacular special effects, but not in the typical "all fluff, no substance" Hollywood style.

And you might check out "The Fountain" with Hugh Jackman. Also features stunning visuals. Very interesting story.

It might be worth mentioning that my wife didn't like any of these 4 I've recommended - these were just too far from her mainstream movie tastes to hold her interest. But if you liked "Existenz," you might be up for some of this weirdness too...

OMG, that ("Superbad") was, to me, simply horrible! The crudity level was so high, I was embarrassed to be watching it with my wife. Didn't even bother finishing the movie. But congrats on the win, Papa!

Try "Brick" for an interesting spin on teen movies - it blends a crime mystery theme with '40s noir dialog and is in a high school setting.

Also, for a decidedly low-key (almost no discernible special effects) science fiction film, try "Primer." It's a "hard science" sci fi movie that is entirely uncompromising - you're just thrusted into the story and not really given any slack if you can't keep up. Honestly, I felt lost for the first 15-20 minutes but then it started clicking. There's an "ah ha!" moment around 3/4 of the way thru the movie that made it all pay off for me. This is definitely not a movie for casual viewing - you have to pay attention!

Funny you mention that flick as I just got it via Netflix, so it’s sitting on our TV stand … BUT I have not watched it yet. So you win the three DVDs. Conveniently I might add as it will save me a trip to the post office.

The three flicks you won are 8 1/2, Sunset Boulevard, and Chinatown. Congrats!
