omg hipster classic bending my mind around that one...
the rest of this thread is now kitsch
if any movie deserves that title it is that one actually. Death was unfortunate and all but hmm survivalists or even plain old nature enthusiasts can see his activities were a fail , disaster from start to end, he didnt even try to live this was like the opposite of Bear Grylls, not fun to watch
the soundtrack was really good tho

He wasnt there to play survival games. it was the story of an 'outsider' who just wanted to escape the daily mundane life and just 'be there', out of the trivialities; much like a hippie, those lot of youth of the 60s who mostly couldnt give a proper direction to their yearning for a life out of the usual comfort zone, away from its banes and boons, and probably need for a meaning to all this.

one i saw recently :

Unforgiven (1992) - IMDb - another thrilling piece of work from eastwood. keep up the pace with the movie till the climax, where it suddenly yet so subtly grips you, leaving you enthralled and wanting more. one of those kind of movies that haunt you for sometime after you've finished watching them. many people might not like it i feel due to its slow pace, but i would still recommend you to give it a try and dont get disengaged from the middle.

I'm one of them sadly.

nevermind. everyone has their own taste. i have gradually now come to generally like mostly subtle, realistic/larger-than-life movies, many of whom cant be termed as 'mainstream'.

another suggestion from my side, especially for its underlying subtle message (which becomes more prominent towards the end) is --> Baraka (1992) - IMDb

a totally silent movie (in the sense that there is no narration/dialogue/plot). my advise would be to watch a blu-ray of it to experience its full A/V splendour.

@ rahim - i saw the link in your signature. very helpful. thanks !

Democracy is a myth
Baishe Srabon (22nd of month of Srabon) 8.5/10

If it were made in hindi, it would have been a cult (well, it still is a cult movie but not many would be watching this as they are unaware)

A perfect serial killer movie from the director "Srijit Mukherjee". This is his second movie and he's daring to venture into all uncomfortable places of indian film makers. Subjects which might not have an audience rather appreciating his work.

Pros:-
>Plot
>Twist
>Acting
>Realistic dialogue (this is how bengalis talk....profanity included)
>Cinematography
>Songs

Cons:-
>Length
>Editing
>Background score (sometimes totally misfit)

The Guard 8/10

Another great brit comedy...and I know when I write "great brit comedy" someone here is excited and then when I would say its on level of "In Bruges"...well...

Ya, its that good. Tongue-in-cheek black comedy.

And, "In Bruges" was directed by "Martin McDonagh" and "The Guard" is directed by "John Michael McDonagh"....can there be any relation between them?

A few lines from the movie,

"Sergeant Gerry Boyle: Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, these men are armed and dangerous, and you being an FBI agent you're more used to shooting at unarmed women and children..."

and my favorite,

-"why it always have to be me?"
-"cause you are a psychopath"
-"sociopath, not a psychopath. They explained that to me in Mountjoy"
