Movie Suggestions

I don't have suggestions, I want some. 

You see, I've found myself jaded by the steady stream of crap that passes for cinema these days.  Most Hollywood studio movies I've seen recently remind me of the old saying, "a camel is a horse designed by committee".  The creative process has been removed and has been replaced by a homogenizer that dumps in a tepid mix of stale ideas that represent what recent market analysis says people want to see. I don't want a damn camel, I want a horse . . . er movie.

Want to know what's new in theaters this week?  Don't look in the paper.  If it's summer, there is a 90% chance any new release will fall into one of the following categories: a remake, a sequel, a video game/television show made into a movie, or a CGI cartoon.  How long until we get the ultimate Hollywood treatment - a computer animated remake of a sequel?  C'mon Dreamworks, you know we're dying to see Young Guns 2 remade as a cartoon (according to recent marketing data, at least).

Like most of America, I usually wait until movies are out on DVD instead of going to the theaters. I covet my Netflix account almost as much as I do my internet access (almost).   With network television going into summer hibernation, my movie viewing time has been greatly increased and I need some help to fill up my Netflix queue.

I don't want to poison the selection pool by telling you too much about my movie tastes.  I can watch just about anything if it has a good story. I will tell you that I currently have Rear Window, Layercake, and Serenity at my house for viewing.

So Gatherians, what movies should I get next?
