favorite NON-mainstream movies since 1990.

9. "Crash" - Simply the best movie I've seen in years.

At first I thought, "He doesn't mean the one with Holly Hunter and James Spader does he?"

...but after the porno post, I'm not so sure.

no, the one that came out last year directed by Paul Haggis (writer of million dollar baby) with the ensemble cast Brendan Fraser, Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillion, Terrence Howard, Thandie Newton, Ryan Phillipe, Larenz Tate, Ludacris.

at least i think so, if he did mean the other crash by cronenburg (the spader, hunter one) then i nominate the haggis 'crash' as a favorite!

Right on... Sappy ending but wonderful film.

Come on, Cronenburg's Crash wasn't bad either. Why does Spader always seem to play the weird sexually deprived/twisted/predator type guy in his movies....I mean, I've heard of typecasting but Spader? Is this a case of art immitating reality?...Okay...there's Stargate, but Russell was in that back in his Dolf Lundgren years, so that doesn't count. Anyone seen (I think it's called) "Secretary"?

Donnie Darko was truly something else, Crash at least made most theaters, along with many of the other suggestions. DD's unfortunate release during the tough 9-11 week couldn't even hold back it's greatness.

And it's got the weirdest freakin' website I've ever been to...

Secretary is much better than Crash. I count Secretary as an art house flick. Crash was just...I don't know what Crash was...an experiment?
