Sucker Free City is actually a good watch (people missed out on this one).

When the Leeves Broke is a great documentary. But again I'm talking about his movies.

I appreciated the flawed brilliance of Bamboozeld. I can still watch that movie till this day...even though its not as complete a film as it should be. Inside Man is a solid movie...but can only watch it so many times. I actually liked Oldboy...but when in comparison to the original...eh...


25th Hour was incredible. From the fukk you scene


, shiiiiiiiitttt, , to the club scene, the Russians, the "make me ugly" to the "This life came so close to never happening" :wow:

Spike totally nailed it with this movie.

It's a good movie but c'mon. It might not be in the top 50 from 2000-2014 but I'm gonna rewatch it tomorrow and report back.

one of the few movies i think had a perfect ending...
A teacher in high school gave me the book after we were discussing Clockers and 25th Hour, the book has some differences, especially the end.

I remember reading that if you're familiar with the NY area, and the way the bridge in the background looks, it's clear that Monty's pops is driving him to jail.

The book it's unclear.

Also, in his fantasy about going to Texas, in the book, he never sees Naturelle again. He marries the a bar owner's daughter
