3 Random Movies

Three random movies everyone should see:

1. Special

Every day joe, Les Franken, played by Michael Rapaport inadvertently finds himself with newly discovered super human abilities. Realizing the potential of his powers, and the duty he now owes to the human race, he decides to become a super hero. The catch: he's really just medicated on an experimental drug that's making him suffer extreme hallucinations. A dark, weird, and comedic adventure to say the least.



2. Intermission

A dark comedy about people you'd likely never know or even want to meet for that matter. Just about every character in this movie is terribly flawed and despite being relatively young in age, seems decrepit and on the brink of self destruction. The story follows several characters, as they each go through points in their lives that end in a "just don't care anymore" state. Eventually coming together in order to pull off a robbery that ends in more laughs for the viewer than anything else.



3. The Iron Giant

There are only a handful of animated movies that I would say are truly must see. This would have to be number one in my opinion. The story of a giant mechanical man, (voiced by a then unknown Vin Diesel) sent from a far away planet to destroy earth. Damaging itself when crash landing on earth; the giant befriends a young child who teaches him the importance of life, death and caring for others. It sounds terribly childish, but the storytelling is so good; by the end, even the most staunch viewer will find her/himself completely immersed within it's well told story.
