Great question. I recently saw "Almost Famous" excellent flick, if you like Cameron Crowe's stuff. Love anything with a good story, thrillers are probably my faves. Anything to make me think. "The Bone Collector" with Denzell Washington is a good one too. An original sci-fi movie is good too, just don't have the same plot as alot of them do...go to planet, alien kills everyone but 2, kill alien, live happily ever after...ie PitchBlack, Aliens, Ghosts of Mars, etc..
