[iacas]

Except for Drew's, of course.

Okay, so, back to the topic now.

Nobody's mentioned Vera Farmiga yet ... What's up with that??

Her taste in men. I think she chose... poorly.

So she's a bad judge of character ... or, Damon's character is waaaaaaay too frighteningly good at deception.

Regardless, I love her in the movie, even if she makes bad choices. ;)

I think she leaves Boston, moves to Albuquerque and changes her name to Skyler.

And becomes a nutjaub. :-) Lots of critical praise for choice of Gimmie Shelter in the movie if you read around. Scorsese uses it in his other movies, but imho, to no better effect than in The Departed. It's The Stones, man (In Dennis Hopper voice.)

[nevets88]

I nominate: Children of Men

[iacas]

I nominate The Prestige.

[nevets88]

I nominate The Prestige.

That's Ricky Jay in the YT still. His live shows are amazing. He does all sorts of tricks. He can throw a playing card into a watermelon and make it stick good.

[jamo]

I nominate There Will Be Blood . It's on Netflix.

[saevel25]

I nominate, "No Country For Old Men"

[Warren Zevon]

I just made time to watch the Departed last night for the first time since it came out. Loved it. Totally forgot how Martin Sheen died. As for the next film, someone mentioned it before they Departed was chosen, and it's another I haven't seen in years : Memento.

[Lihu]

I nominate There Will Be Blood. It's on Netflix.

Okay, I second this one.

Apparently @jamo knows my weakness.

Your weakness is ... Milkshakes?? P.S. If we're nominating movies based on minimum amount of effort then I nominate Sleeping Beauty because it's in my DVD player right now.

[Jeremie Boop]

I would put forward 2 of my favorite movies. Equilibrium and Serenity.

However, it seems like the nominations are more of the "heavier" variety.

[Lihu]

Ironclad: Battle for Blood on Netflix looks kind of compelling.

[iacas]

Ironclad: Battle for Blood on Netflix looks kind of compelling.

It isn't five years old. It's a 2014 movie.

It also has a mid-teens rating on Rotten Tomatoes, @Lihu . Please don't make us restrict you from this thread for severe brain farts. You can't guarantee they aren't contagious.

I nominate… @jamo to find the five movies people have mentioned most (if there's a tie it's your pick which make the list and which don't) since Thursday and to make the poll.
