| So, everyone's got their top movie lists buried somewhere in their brains. Spill 'em. I'll go first with some favorites.
Fight Club- every introvert's "PUCK THE FOLICE" favorite Kingdom of Heaven- Not a religious man by any stretch, and this movie is by far the most epic critical depiction of the crusades ever filmed. Blade Runner- Is Deckard a replicant? Absolute Classic Jesus Camp- Cause sometimes you just have to get REAAAALLYY pissed about something, so why not make it Evangelicals?
By no means my absolutes, just a few that came to mind. | |

| Aw man, I love Jesus Camp. I've seen it a frightening number of times.
Personal favorites include: A Clockwork Orange - I mean, as far as movies with distinct "personality" goes, it really doesn't get much better than that. A Scanner Darkly - Best Anti/Pro/What-Drug argument you'll ever see. It's like a futuristic fear and loathing, except not at all. Akira - Cyberpunk AND anime? Please try and tell that's not a match made in heaven. And it's good second gen ish cyberpunk too, Stephenson-esque minus all the funny.
Two of my favorites are unintentionally hilarious, which is why I like them. They Live - Absolutely ridiculous, but still, he's here to kick ass and chew gum. And he's all out of gum. Hackers - You really can't know much less about computers than the guys who made hackers, and there's a girl as a hacker protagonist. I mean, a girl, on the INTERNET? That's absurd. | |

| I think I'm a fan of yours, Roxas. V for Vendetta stands as my favorite totalitarian resistance flick, though I wish they had been more faithful to the ideals in the comics. I memorized all of V's monologues for last year's November the Fifth.
Combining Ix's unintentionally hilarious category and my 1984 obsession, I submit Soylent Green as the best movie of all time. | |

| V for Vendetta as a graphic novel steers way too close to anarchy for me. | |

| I'm not saying I agree with it's politics. I just think its a better story. Makes the symbols that much more effective. | |

My favorite movie is definitely Wargames. I love that shit. A teenage Matthew Broderick hacks into a military computer and plays a war simulator. How about a nice game of strip-Global Thermonuclear War? I'm also a fan of the Kamen Rider movies, along with the Gundam movie trilogy. | |
