And so the reason for this tirade is so you have a proper background about the types of movies I like, and should you and I happen to like the same things we should go out for coffee and discuss such subjects as the aestheticization of violence.
And they are, in no particular order:
- Se7en - where Kevin Spacey became my favorite actor of all time
- Fight Club - I so loved how it ended because it was so similar to dreams I used to have in high school
- The Mexican - because I got it
- The Matrix (the first one) - because it resonated this feeling of I know there's something wrong with the world shit I've been harboring all my life
- Trainspotting - because the cuss words were so beautiful
- Girl, Interrupted - because Angelina was so beautiful
- American Beauty - because all families are dysfunctional
- Constantine - because I crave for other worlds than this
- Love Me If You Dare - because love is another world
- Kill Bill (both) - because killing people never looked this good
- Face/Off (just that scene where people were shooting and Somewhere over the Rainbow was playing in the background)
- Lord of War - because it's true

i so get face/off.the music was so wrong in the scene with bullets flying everywhere and yet it was also so right :D
similarly, there's this one scene in The Thin Red Line where in the middle of warfare (bombs going off, people shooting at each other, people dying, etc.) a soldier contemplates on a blade of grass. (these film makers! true genius!)
you might want to consider watching Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.you might enjoy it :D
I agree with you on Fight Club and American Beauty.
Dati gusto ko ang mga violent films pero nagbago isip ko nang mapanood ko ang Kill Bill heheheheh.
Violence ba kamo, Macky? Watch Hostel. Walang sense, pero you're in for a gorefest. It's sick and without substance. Trip trip lang. O kung adik adik ka.
found this and thought it might interest you.didn't read it myself :D
