Shinobi is a visual feast.
As for the action and the plot, its ok.
And I found it far better that Last Samurai. You really have to be a Tom Cruise fan to sit through that, because not even Ken Watanabe can spare your senses.

alright heres some weird "cult" films you may not have seen,as well as some you probably have.Sorry in advance, I have "bad taste" because I love horror and comedy the most,enjoy.

A Clockwork Orange (or anything else directed by Stanley Kubrick)
The Warriors (old but very cool, check it out)
Audition (Japanese Horror from director Takashi Miike)
Suicide Club (another japanese horror flick...weird)
Lost Highway (Director David Lynch, strangest man ever)
Requiem For A Dream (Depressing, but very good)
THE BIG LEBOWSKI (this is the most hilarious movie ever)
No Country For Old Men (Cohen Brothers directed,great acting,story)
The Shining (actually scary)
Cabin Fever (The director mocks the horror genre in this cult hit,very funny)
Evil Dead,Evil Dead 2, Army Of Darkness (Bruce Campbell is awesome)
Metropolis (very cool anime with 3D backgrounds,great story)
The Descent (creepy)
Hostel (Eli Roth, might make you sick)
Saw (the first on was great, the sequels are terrible)
Planet Terror (Awesome movie, mocks horror genre)
TAE GUK GI (Excellent Korean war movie,must see)
Zoolander (so stupid it's good)
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (Johnny Depp, crazy movie)
ORIGINAL Dawn Of The Dead (new one is good too, George A. Romero)
28 days later and 28 weeks later (very intense films)
Original HALLOWEEN (John Carpenter's small budget masterpiece)
Full Metal Jacket (Kubrick)
Old School (super funny, Will Ferrel at his best)
Lord Of War (based on a true story,Nick Cage is great in this)
The Shawshank Redemption (SEE THIS MOVIE)
Land Of The Dead (gorey,not the greatest acting,but I love it. Romero)
The Host (Korean Monster Movie)

and last but not least CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, I must warn you, DO NOT watch this film if you are faint of heart, this is a disgusting movie that I only have seen once and that was enough.It was basically shot like blair witch long before that movie ever came to light.BE WARNED DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT LIKE GORE , I only list this movie because of how moving it is.

Hope this list will help you guys.

The Pagemaster, slightly old. 1995-96, to be specific.

And, Party Monster. It's a mockumentary of real-life Michael Alig, a self-proclaimed Club Kid in the 80s in New York City.


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

The Pagemaster was an absolutely wonderful movie! I remember it so well!

The best movie recommendations along the lines of big epic natural disaster action flicks that I can heavily recommend to you (as I'm such a HUGE fan of them myself and own them all on DVD) are as follows -

* The Day After Tomorrow
* Deep Impact
* Armageddon
* Dante's Peak
* Twister
* The Core
* Volcano

Sunshine looks really good, I still have to see that as of yet

I also recommend Wild Hogs for some good humour
