Default American History X
One of my two favorite movies (Training Day). Just an awesome movie dealing with racism. Edward Norton and Edward Furlong are awesome in it I think... Directing is great too, I love all the flashbacks and the sequence of everything. It all just seems very real. I've probably watched this movie 30 times by now and love it every time. Norton's monologues and rants he goes on in the movie are awesome. It's a movie I think everyone should see.

Thoughts?

Pic related. It's the poster that hangs in my room.

No way dude, it makes it so much better. There's not always happy endings in life.

Apparently there was another ending filmed where Norton's character is seen shaving his head in the mirror again after Danny gets killed and then the movie ends. But I like this ending better.

They should have stuck with the original ending.

Are we having a thread for every film you deem a favourite?

American History X is pretty good, Edward Norton's performance is the difference from it being an okay film to a good one.

My bad. All these years I thought the point of message boards was to create topics to things that interest you and create discussion.

but to answer your question... Maybe. Cause I'm not a movie person and I've already created threads regarding my two favorites. Dumb and Dumber may eventually work it's way into a thread as well.

Edward Furlong. And I agree, it saved the movie.

Really? What do you like him better in? I think American History X is by far his best stuff... I liked 25th Hour a lot too though
