I'm going to get some movies as a gift for my girlfriend. She's really into movies and I'm not sure of what to get. She told me to surprise her, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. These are her favorites:

American Psycho
Battle Royale
Brick
Bully
City of God
Clockwork Orange
Dead Alive
Faces of Death
Ginger Snaps
The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
Heathers
Happiness
Imaginary Heroes
Jacob's Ladder
Kids
The King
Little Miss Sunshine
Lost Boys
Liyla 4-Ever
Meet The Feebles
Mulholland Drive
Mysterious Skin
Naked Lunch
New Best Friend
Pulp Ficton
Ravenous
Return of the Living Dead
Romper Stomper
Rules of Attraction
Tart
Thirteen
Trainspotting
True Romance



based on that list of movies, what do you think she would like and what should I get her? Any help would be appreciated.

ok, someone good at statistics list out the actors/directors of each movie she liked, with directors holding a larger share, incorporate movie budgets, locations, languages, and themes, then go to the list of all movies, and compare via algorythm.

I say
shaun of the dead.

but now that i say that there arent very many comedies on that list.

28 days later/28 weeks later?

If she liked kids, get her gummo. its written by the same guy. also, your gf likes some fucked up movies. i love it.

6/14/2009 3:14:28 PM

yea your gf has some fucked up taste in movies... just like me. i second gummo. seems like she'd really enjoy the movie hard candy. here's a few more possibilities
se7en
old boy
the audition
hell ride
event horizon
the shining
evil dead trilogy

hmm, she def. likes some fucked up shit, but theres's a good bit of variety.. hard to say for sure. But consider:

Tideland
Audition
eraserhead
blue velvet
se7en
oldboy
maybe Tokyo Gore Police
taxi driver
maybe the original cut of Bad Lieutenant
down in the valley - slightly similar tone to The King
In the Bedroom - particularly if she liked Little Children
Natural Born Killers


considering she said Brick - L.A. Confidential (it's a lot more mainstream, but she does have some very popular stuff on there and it's a solid modern attempt at noir, even though the story takes place in the past).

I'll second Shaun of the Dead just because even though it's a comedy, it's actually a pretty good zombie flick in general. although, not really gory or anything. But she may not like it in the least bit.

Gummo
Freaks
Hard Candy
The Brown Bunny

I'll second "28 days later". the original "dawn of the dead" is great too

"old boy" is also fucked up
