Why is this movie a 'recommendation' for tons of movies?

Um, no you can't add kite as it can't recommend itself. I think you missed the point of this thread.

Hum, it is as disturbing as anything else in the list cos it's an anime.
Think about Taxi Driver.
Not disturbing?
And what about Bad Lieutenant or 1900?

Good list, and Kite can be added EASILY to it.

Rob, my son, it's a lion and it's cute !!!That's what he said

don't know if that is a compliment or not, but thanks! I figured for all you that don't want to watch all those flicks, I would give you a simple rundown! Besides I had seen just about all of them, good luck to you all. And yeah it was a little long but I thought it was easier than you all having to watch them all. Granted my tastes aren't everything, but I was pretty general. Give them a try anyway.
