Recommend Me a Movie thread | Pop Rox Nation | Forums

Let's see if this can get the ball rolling again. 

So I just saw Source Code for the first time after being recommended to me for the longest time.  A lot of my friends swear that I would love this move and I did.  So, having said that, could you guys recommend me something similar to the likes of Source Code, Unknown (Liam Neeson) and possibly Limitless?  Not too sure what genre they are.  Modern Thrillers maybe? 

Feel free to request a movie either.  I might just be able to Help you!

EDIT: I have no problem with older films.

Hmm, I too enjoyed Source Code.  The concept was incredibly interesting, but I can't help but feel that the resolution broke the laws of physics and just common sense in the movieverse.  Then again, I'm just recalling the feeling I had when I watched the movie at least a year ago and I can't even remember what drove me to that conclusion.

 

Modern day thriller/suspense movies that are enjoyable to me: The Bourne Identity, The Departed, The Town, and The Silence of The Lambs.

I haven't seen too many movies recently that I'd actually recommend, but I definitely recommend searching out some of the best-selling books.  While I might like The Bourne Identity as a movie, the book convinced me to buy the whole original trilogy almost immediately after reading the first one. However, I don't recommend the sequels at all, but I still occasionally re-read the first one and it still gives me goosebumps that the movie series could barely poke at.

It's sad that I've seen all of those.  Haha. I've even watched the original departed (Internal Affairs – it was a Chinese film). 

And yes, Source Code is fantastic but there is one gaping loophole that persists. Nevertheless, I can look past it. Definitely a must watch still.
