    Spartan.

    Who ever rates this stuff on websites is clearly insane as there isn't anything about this movie that isn't fantastic. Even the title is perfect once you know that it means.

    Respect my lack of authority.

    I'll give it a try (maybe rewatch, I can't remember), but it looks quite lacking in special effects, so I don't know how good it can be...

    It doesn't star The Rock so it's a glass half full situation.

    Thanks for your contributions guys!!

    Am building a list of movies to watch already! Excited especially for Spartan, as I really enjoyed The Untouchables and Glengarry Glen Ross from the same writer, though can't say The Spanish Prisoner was all that great, mostly because Steve Martin was miscast. Also read one of his plays which was excellent, Oleanna.

    Meg says that except for sheep and the occasional cow, he's firmly against inter-species sex.

    I rewatched Spartan and was kinda struck by how in structure and somewhat in execution it resembled a play. More staccato than frenetic.

    You should also consider Redbelt. Mamet's again slightly off kilter take on this time martial arts films.

    If you find you like that then maybe another auteur's look at the spy game in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire.

    So many great ones! I will also look at the films I may have missed.

    (More of a book worm now, but still pondering ShinShin.)

    Umm... certain parts or scenes of some films create classics, but their in another thread thanks to Meg, I'll "bump" it so its easy to spot. Remember ShinShin they are not all classics in the film clinical sense, but more of an action or violence noir. Though some I found VERY good!

    Example: "Untouchables" that you've already watched. [Train station Stairway Scene] Classic!

    WARNING! Many Spoilers!
