  Couldn;t find the thread on SOAP so thought I'd post here instead - Snakes On A Plane last night and thought it was hilarious! Very very funny.

  You haven't seen a twist ending until you've seen "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton.

  A good movie would also include the oldies:

  To Kill A Mockingbird

  The Thin Man Series

  Any Cary Grant movie will do.

  Now on to not quite oldies but goodies:

  Fletch w/ Chevy Chase (very quotable movie)

  9 to 5

  Private Benjamin

  I know I am forgetting a ton of other funny but good ones.

  And Little Miss Sunshine is great! Some really good laugh out loud scenes

  • Tin Men
  • The Edukators
  • The Saltmen of Tibet
  • The Day I Became A Woman
  • Brassed Off
  • The Cuckoo
  • Box Of Moonlight

  I know of many other movies as good as these, but they tend toward snake/plane/spandex territory, like The Triplets of Belleville, Catch Me If You Can, or Pecker.

  Gregor.....was "Rabbit Proof Fence" about three little girls trying to escape from a terrible orphanage? The movie I'm thinking of had me "into it" for days after I saw it. Very haunting and throught-provoking, if it's the same movie.

  I just saw a movie with a surprise ending on IFC a couple of weeks ago and I CANNOT recall the name of it! It was something about some kind of "Sisters" and took place in a Catholic girl's boarding school. Pretty intense!
