You want a great American movie? See Boondock Saints. Best movie ever. It was released straight to video, because the idiots at Miramax were too dumb to buy it. The guy who made it sold his pub/coffeeshop/something to make it. It has Willem Dafoe as a homosexual FBI agent it it. :D

actually, i have seen many of those movies.
I was not discrediting american movies as a whole, but a large protion of them do suck, and try to make buck with *eye candy*.
ok, so the break down of what i have seen:
The Ring: I liked it, but I liked the original better, and the prequel and sequel(0 and 2). The only thing i think that made the American version better in any way was the fact that we *enhanced it*. It was an honest job.
Donnie Darko: I <3 this movie. More than you know. Why? For an american movie, it was awesome. but it was independent. so it wasn't bought by a big company, and therefore good. Donnie Darko is prolly one of my favorite movies EVER

Yay! You like Donnie too! It's sooooo good, huh? I just love that movie too! But yeah, you are right, it was an independent movie. (speaking of independent movies...I love Harmony Korine's work a lot. Do you like his stuff at all? I think my favorite is "Julien Donkey-Boy". I know many people find his work disturbing and can't stand it. They even say that he is using disabled people as an object like freak shows, but I think he is just representing the reality of this society; reality is not beautiful
