"Rebel Without a Cause" and "On the Waterfront" way cool.

(I didn't see the other one.)

Real cool actors.

New guys like Vin Diesel seem to have the potential but there is perhaps too much overproduction and perhaps Hollywood's tendency to make "superstars" now instead. He started out way more cool than he
is now. Now he is more like a cardboard figure. But I think "The
Fast and the Furious" is an excellent film.

"Being John Malkovich" is kind of a way cool film and this actor seems way cool in this movie. But I really haven't seen his other films.

"Malkovich finds a genre niche that seems relatively untapped, similar to a film like David Lynch's Blue Velvet, that created a world all its own even in the midst of familiar surroundings." (AMG)

That's what I think about "The Fast and the Furious" too. It created its own world and that's why the movie is so fascinating.

For a film about someone troubled, how about the fascinating film, "Kalifornia".

Is it cool or what to be a serial killer when someone in a bar tries to start trouble with you? Is to kill your landlord just because he really gets on your nerves? Is it cool to kill someone for some gas money and a little extra change?

"Serial Mom" is also a way cool film. And surprisingly it is also compared to "Blue Velvet".

"Waters takes a page out of Blue Velvet and adds his own kitchy, gross-out stamp" (AMG)
