It made me laugh to tears in like four bits but the rest is a bit meh nowadays. But it was like that at the pictures back in the day. The laughs are few but the laughs are HUGE.

Proper bonkers.
What I like is it has a Mulholland Drive type of thing goin on. Like, I wrote what I just wrote above and it made me realise I've seen this movie about eight times and have never once bothered to find out what his wife is saying on the phone early on in the movie (a Scandinavian dialect???)
Yeah. An absolute stormer of a modern classic with a few clumsy little bits I don't like but damn what a great movie they made, I'm a nitpicking knobster.

2001 Maniacs and American Psycho.
The first was kinda fun but not really worth seeking out (though the bit where the black guy gets crushed via barn/turbine-based rotary crusher device that pops his eyes out had me laughing like a jolly drain).
Never seen American Psycho before and only half-read the book round about the time I was playing N64 Mystical Ninja back in 1999.
It's such a wonky, uneven movie, most works, some doesn't. But Christian Bale is amazing!!!! All the actors are, even Jared futching Leto!!!!
Cinematography is stellar, too. And the 80s soundtrack. Robert Palmer!!!
My type of movie, its simultaneously stimulated and jarred me. Bale's Patrick Bateman is EPIC, star turn right there.

It's BEAUTIFUL. Like Alan Partridge if he had good looks, power and coke galore.
Rewatchable for the intensity of the performances and brilliant dialogue and cinematography. My type of movie totally.
I really think reading the book would help though, especially with the ending. I kinda see this movie as a primer for the book, it's really made me wanna go back to it, I'm olderer and more maturer right now and know I'd be able to apply myself more to it.
I think that YouTube vid of Bale being nasty on Terminator Salvation soured many's opinion of him (mine included) but this performance is ICONIC, Bale is an acting BADASS!!!!
He could take advantage of piglets and I'd still absolve his reputation after seeing this movie.
Bravo!

Beyond Skyline. Got 54 minutes in and thought it was about to finish. Noticed there's another 52 minutes to go
And now we running around in the jungle in Vietnam or something
Actually enjoying it. The body count is huge. The plot is a bigger monster than the aliens. Altogether total nonsense.

What other films can you think of that you've seen that were off the mainstream, but have stuck with you, years later.
