Yeah all those movies are good to great, although I'm not sure how I feel about Little Children. I don't know, I felt like it went over my head or somthing. I think it's the way Field balanced satire with melodrama. I think one of the reviewers said something along the lines of " Little Children preaches liberation and delivers only puritanism." I kind of felt that way.

Dead Ringers and Glengarry Glenn Ross are absolutely perfect though. Here are my reccomendations.

McCabe and Mrs Miller - Revisionist western. Warren Beatty plays this lucky, overconfident charmer who runs a whorehouse with an entrepreneurial prostitute(Julie Christie). Bleak, atmospheric film that makes no attempt to glamorize the west.

A Women Under the Influence - Greatest movie ever made, by the greatest director ever. A hauntingly real look at the breakdown of a suburban housewife... it's so much more than that though.

Stroszek - Three people from Germany come to America expecting riches and success. The ending is unbelievable. Fun Fact: Ian Curtis of Joy Division watched this movie before killing himself.

Even Dwarfs Started Small - Weirdest movie ever made, coincidently it reminds me of Freaks. The cast is entirely made up of little people(midgets).

Days of Heaven - Malick is a great filmmaker and this film is beautiful.

Overnight - An entertaining documentary about the director of Boondock Saints(shitty movie). He basically fucks everything up and is a huge asshole.
