Beautiful Girls, one of my favorite movies.

Beautiful Girls, one of my favorite movies.

Thanks for nominating it. I have never seen it but watched it on Netflix and it was great. Natalie Portman is adorable, and it was really funny.

But also let's not overlook Election, one of my favorite films of '99.

C'mmon people - you gotta get out and seem Hard Boiled. John Woo and Chow Yun Fat are a genre unto themselves!

[Garrell]

Election was filmed at my junior high school in La Vista/Papillion Nebraska

Guys! Just look at that image for Hard Boiled. How could you not vote for it?

[Still Servant]

Picked up Beautiful Girls. I know it's on Netflix, but I'd rather own it.

Simple, never heard of it, much less seen it. Having said that, looking at the image, immediately makes me not want to see it.
