12/23/2007 2:11:53 PM

i can't think of any "inside" references to my AMR days.

12/23/2007 2:14:47 PM

It's not so much inside as it is what we all posted like on places like that/this when we were that age.

12/23/2007 2:15:52 PM

a) not a "college kid"
b) that list of movies doesn't make me pretentious. the movies i listed are actually good. ndmetcal said he'd seen all the movies he wanted to see---just trying to list some that he may not have seen/may have forgotten about (as the original post requests).

layer cake?

12/23/2007 11:04:24 PM

Kontrol, Run Lola Run, Malestrom, Dogville. The first three are foreign, and all are a bit artsy, but I think they resemble your suggestions and are good films.

1/3/2008 2:52:54 AM

perhaps you would like "Mr. Brooks"
