   Thanks for the recommendations.

Logos: I bought the first Saw on DVD recently, due to my horror movie binge. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so, maybe tonight.

Here's another recommendation from me: Donnie Darko. Watch the original, NOT the director's cut, which ruins it to a large extent. That movie has excellent use of soundtrack, tying into the film in interesting ways, definitely a good movie for prog fans even though the music isn't prog.

Keep 'em coming!

	Any movie directed by Clint Eastwood, from High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Firefox, to Million Dollar Baby, Space Cowboys, Mystic River, Iwo jima, Flags of our fathers, Unforgiven, Bridges of Madison County, and many more I don't remember right now. (Man, the one with Whitaker about jazz, I saw it like 10 years ago I don't remember the name!) absolute power, etc. He's the greatest living director. No Scorsese, Eastwood.

	I just saw Children Of Men last night. It was fantastic. Some of the best directing I've seen in awhile.

	Check out the Criterion Collection for some great DVDs, including Wes Anderson's films. Also, buy Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. I know that none of these movies are horror films, but they are excellent in their own right.

	Almodovar's "Volver"; also "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" brings some chills down your spine and it's not the typical horror movie.. it's more like a trial movie
	Jesus Gabriel

	Recently, I've been spending more time looking for good movie DVD's to buy than I have been looking for CD's. I'm looking for recommendations for ANY movie, whether it's old or new, just seen in the theater or seen on DVD, whatever. So, post one (or more!) movies that you really recommend. I'll start off: I've been on a horror movie binge recently, and my recommendation is The Descent (2005). Holy crap, that movie is good. If you like the idea of a well-made horror movie that is genuinely very scary, look no further.
