Default American History X
There was nothing doing in Chez Crisis last night so I decided to blow the dust off some DVDs and settled down to watch American History X for the first time in ages.

Again I found myself completely consumed by it.

What's other people's thoughts on it?

I think it's one of the best films ever made. Norton is a genius.

Amazing film. Edward Norton is SO good. Watch Fight Club then watch AHX, the guy is awesome.
Truly brutal parts in it & a total emotional rollercoster all the way through.

I've only seen it the once a few years back but found it really engaging and quite superb. I agree Norton is brilliant in it.

Check out the review in the thread "Super christian movie reviews..." if you haven't had a look. Pretty funny.

It's an amazing film. The kerb scene is gruesome :/

Edward Norton is a classic actor, he's got quite a lot of character depth and he seems to be very flexible. Other great Ed Norton performances:

25th Hour
Death To Smoochy
Red Dragon
Keeping The Faith
The Score

I tried that - it disnae work - lol

Seriously - great film and one that you makes you want to shower after watching.

I think Norton went on the record as saying he hated the musclature that he gained for the movie.

Anyone seen Irreversible? Its very harsh but very good! Cut backwards like Momento and every scene is a single shot, including a 12 minute rape scene - not very pleasant

Haha, noted and edited

I've yet to see Irreversible, will go and check it out It has Monica Bellucci in it, which is always a plus point
