Peeps! If you haven't seen it, you have about seven days to watch Dark City. It's a masterpiece and should be in the lead.

Vudu has it streaming for free and it might be available on-demand from your TV provider: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/dark-city-1998

Agreed, but I just love Leon and American History X more.

I'll try to give it another go at some point. I saw it ages ago, and wasn't impressed, but then again I also remember nothing about it. I'll see if I can find it OnDemand.

American History X is an extremely powerful and important movie. I think even if you don't enjoy it in its purest form you'll still come away with something, especially now considering our current political climate.

American History X has a scene that just makes me cringe thinking about it. But it is an important movie. But I also like Dark City and Leon. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

I think I know exactly what scene you're talking about. It's one of the more difficult to watch scenes I've ever seen in a film. Is this it?
