I was sick, so I watched a crap-ton of movies. Keep in mind that I still have only given maybe ten movies a 10/10, so my 7/10s are another person's 10/10s (especially some people in this thread).
American Beauty - 9.5/10 (I wouldn't ever watch this with another person, but when viewed alone it left quite an impression on me)
Inglorious Basterds - 7/10 (My least favorite Tarantino film, but I still quite enjoyed it)
Slumdog Millionaire - 6/10 (Overrated)
Good Will Hunting - 9/10 (HIS BEARD IS SO FUZZY)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - 9/10 (Why didn't anyone tell me Jim Carrey could act?)
And a couple others not worth mentioning...
Up next: Mystic River, re-watch City of God (8/10), Once Upon a Time in the West, re-watch The Wicker Man (the original, because screw Nicolas Cage) (10/10 paganism ftw), Amorres Perros.
Any suggestions? I'm pretty open to movie suggestions
Although I think many give too high ratings here, you gave highs to some of the better movies out there. I actually agree to most of them:
American Beauty 9 (Kevin Spacey is fantastic, great story)
Inglorious Basterd 6.5 (idem to your description)
Slumdog Millionaire 8.5 (not overrated but great)
Eternal Sunshine 6.5 (very overrated, you could've seen Carrey can act in The Truman Show)
Good Will Hunting 8.5 (classic)
Mystic River 6.5 (somehow didn't do it for me, although offcourse solid)
City of God 8.5 (one of the best Brazilian movies I've seen)
Once upon a Time in the West 8 (classic)
Amorres Perros 8 (go see that, fast)
suggestions? Ow, so many.
