Quick! What Should I Watch?

I've got a pile of movies from the library here. I'm not in any particular mood, I just want to see something mindbogglingly awesome.

Silence of the Lambs.

Nosferatu

These polls should be public so people can see whatever I voted for and know that one is the correct answer.

Now that was funny-for-real.

I want to vote for Persepolis in principle but I, um, haven't seen it yet. But I loved the novel.

It's pretty good! It doesn't go quite as deep as the novel, but it's a good movie.

It's on my Instant queue, and I was about to turn it on after this but I forgot I have to go watch Burn Notice. Maybe later though.

Okay. I'm-a gonna put Silence of the Lambs on now.

Finished it. That was great. My fav scenes were the bits with Anthony Hopkins. I'm never going to look at Stottlemeyer on Monk the same again, though. :confused:

At least I finally know what the fuck was up with that bit in Clerks II. :rofl:

Also, I see Shawshank Redemption apparently pulled ahead whilst I was away. I'll watch that tomorrow, then Nosferatu.

His voice is so unique it took me quite a few episodes of Monk to get over it.

Also, thanks to you for the poll and Kissinger for the comments. I just finished Persepolis and I was blown away. It's good to see the power that simple, stark, hand-drawn animation can still have despite competition from 3-D bells and whistles. Whether or not you've read the novel I definitely recommend the movie. And it's particularly moving in light of recent events in Iran.

Wait a minute... have you NOT seen these films before? :eek:

That's the impression I get, yeah. In that case, watch all of them. I wouldn't exactly describe Schindler's List as "mindbogglingly awesome" but it's rather brilliant.

Now I really want to see Persepolis. 'Bout to put in Shawshank, maybe I'll put that on after.

I'll definitely get around to all of them eventually ... might have to renew a couple though, as they go back in a day or two.
