I forgot about these! Classics

Blazing Saddles was one of the first movies I watched that I was explicitly told I couldn't watch that I went against my mom and watched. I think I was 9 when I watched it.

The Matrix (only the first one - didn't really like the sequels)
Spy Game
District 9 (just because finally a good movie came out of my country! )

I agree on the Matrix. There were some good elements in the 2nd and 3rd, but overall, they just didn't work.

Spy Game - I love that movie. I can't believe I forgot it.

District 9 - It's a pretty decent flick. There are a number of things wrong with it, but it's interesting. I think most of the comments I've heard about racism are bull. I think the racist bent of the whole thing is meant in parody. It feels a bit like they smashed a couple of different films together from completely disparate genres. I loved that it's so not Hollywood. It also helps that it's one of only two films I've seen in a theatre in a few years. In some ways it actually reminded me of Blazing Saddles.
