    Bella Is Serious.:
    ^ That sounds lovely.
    I'll have to check it out, without a doubt.

    I'm on another request mission atm.
    Any killer movies, that focus more on the killers than the victims? Like, more from their pov, so we get to understand what they're thinking and what they're feeling. Not anything from the victims pov where they're just crying or whatever all the time.
    Bonus if it's really twisted, and out there. I don't care if there's blood/guts/whatever.

    However, I want it to be "nicely" done. In other words, nothing like House Of 1000 Corpses, but rather something along the style of Funny Games. There doesn't have to be a clean reason behind the killings, but I don't want it to be like, a crazy family laughing like maniacs and living in a trailer and being all inbred or whatever.

    Cold, but from the killers POV. Like that Christian Bale movie, American Psycho.

    Anything?
    You should try Boy A; it's about a guy who gets released from prison after commiting murder as a child. There's also Leon: The Professional, about an assassin who teaches the craft to a young girl.
    And then there's American History X, in case you haven't watched it...

    I know they're not "cold blooded killer" type movies, but they're great to watch anyways. I'll let you know if I run into something that fits it better Very Happy

    ^ Thanks, but Boy A doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
    I don't want something where you feel sympathy with the guy because he's got like this really good reason or because he's served his sentence. I just want the cold and psychotic part of it. Like sociopats, and all that jazz. Like, the killer is thinking "I'm doing nothing wrong, because this is just who I am" or he doesn't feel a thing when doing it, because he's void of human emotions - like American Psycho.
    And American History X is a great movie, but not what I'm looking for either.

    To clarify, I'm not looking for a movie in which the killer struggles with what he is. But where he embraces it and he just, is what he is.
    Like the Hannibal Lecter movies - someone like that. He just is who he is, and that's all there is to it. He doesn't struggle with it, he enjoys killing people and so he does. He's out of his mind. Movies/characters like that.

    I can't believe I forgot Natural Born Killers. That's probably the one that fits it best.

    These are horrible suggestions, just to put that out there, but I was thinking of The Brave One and Taken. Only because you said a movie where the killer has a good reason for doing so.

    I don't really know that they're clever and you've probably seen most of them, but these are some teen comedys that I absolutely love.

    Natural Born Killers
    Tropic Thunder
    Less Than Zero

    He was a total badass in all those movies, even though I didn't like Tropic Thunder all that much.

    Hm... I am going to attempt to request for a movie.

    I want something to watch that will really bring me to tears.

    My History teacher seems to be execellent at picking movies that bring tears to my eyes. I didn't even really think a movie could bring me to tears, unless they reminded me of something. But my teacher proved me wrong.

    In class, we watched;
    Angela's Ashes which was never finished.
    The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas which was indeed the cutest, saddest movie ever.

    I want another heart breaking movie. Not a romance movie. A movie that will really bring you to tears, that is a tragedy type movie. That will make me look like this; Cry

    ^ My Sister's Keeper has me crying for ages.
    It's not a romance movie, it's just about family and what they will do for each other. It deals with cancer.

    Stepmom is a pretty old movie with Julia Roberts. Sort of a romance movie, but the focus isn't on the romance - like the sad part has nothing to do with the couple in the movie. It's more about letting new people into your family and it also deals with cancer.

    I'm looking for a movie that focuses on the friendship between a girl and boy. I would prefer it to be around highschool, but if not, that's fine. And romance is fine also. Shifty

    The first movie that comes to mind is My Girl.

    The main character is a 12 year old girl named Vada living with just her dad after her mother has died, and her best friend is played by Macaulay Culkin.

    It's definitely a very touching movie, and the friendship between the two is nice.

    If you're still looking for any, The Science of Sleep is absolutely wonderful.

    Thank you. My sisters like 'My Sister's Keeper' as well. I will have to see it.

    Love Me If You Dare - It fades the line between friendship and romance beautifully. Very original and humorous.

    Battle Royale - There's many ways to look at this picture. There's of course the brutality of the situation itself, but on repeated viewings, it becomes a very poignant observation on friendship between teenagers.

    ... and once again I'll have to recommend Boy A, in which the guy is running from his past and finds himself hurting the girl in the process.

    Hope you like them!

    Any love movies?
    And I mean proper love movies, you know... love movies.
    That make you swoon and sigh and get all giggly. Not romantic comedies like The Proposal or Bridget Jones. But really, really, romantic movies with happy endings and sweet stories. Like Ever After or something like that. Love, happiness and romance people - it's what I want.
    I dunno if you're still lookimg for some but Australia is very romantic. They fall in LOVE like real LOVE come to think of it it has like everything. sorry off topic. Australia. Baz Lurhmann same person that directed Moulin Rouge!

    Happy ending is a must! :'D
