2. Monster.

And hold on to your seat. It's amazing all the way through the end.

Vanilla Sky, uh, was more fluffy but interesting.

What you will want to watch depends on if you want to get into a deep thought-provoking movie, or just be entertained.

edit: Monster is a movie based on the real-life story of a woman serial killer of men. The blow-you-away actress is Charlize Theron. I think she won a Best Actress award for the part, can't remember.

3. After reviewing your options I have come to a decision...
... Dolemite, definitely Dolemite.

5. So far, 3 votes for Monster, 1 vote for Dolemite.
And I don't have Dolemite.

Hmmm . . .

6. MONSTER!
Other than "Born on the Fourth of July," I can't think of one Cruise film worth picking over another.

That aside, Monster is a haunting movie; Theron is brilliant.

9. It appears that I have asked an ignorant question.
My apologies.

10. Vanilla Sky pissed me off because it started off one way and veered wildly
.

It's like "ooh, here's a lovey dovey story"...and then all of a sudden it's sci-fi.

It made me *really* angry.
