    Thinking of ones that haven't already been mentioned, try,

    The Tunnel (Horror)
    Stake Land (Post-apocalyptic Vampire Movie)
    Zombieland (not technically Horror)
    Children of Men (I don't think it was that memorable but it seems to have a 8.0 rating on IMDB)
    The Thing (Horror)

    The Road was quite gory, but the ending was a sad : (

    Didn't say it was the worst, simply the weirdest. I didn't really get it and I'm a huge horror movie geek
    Oh yeah, I know, it was the fact you called it the weirdest ever I found a bit odd. Humanity creates a spaceship capable of folding spacetime, goes missing. It comes back, bunch of people go to find out what happened. Turns out that the ship went to hell, literally, and Sam Neill pokes his eyes out. Not that weird, man

    If you liked Avatar then i definitely recommend that you watch:

    Princess Mononoke (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119698/)
    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087544/)

    they're both animes but it does not detract from the experience. If you find those to your liking, i suggest you try some other studio ghibli films.

    Oh and maybe Dances with Wolves, don't really know if it belongs in the adventure genre though:dontknow:

    Just watched War of the Worlds. I didn't get the ending until I read this comment:

    *SPOILER!! Whoever hasn't watched it, please stop until here.

    Nature killed them...all the plants and natural life, they couldn't handle it.

    Serves them bludy right aswell!
    lol.

    Then I would agree with this commenter:

    The ending of the film was really lame...not enough was explained!
    or

    Terrible ending – a much better alternative would have been to get Tom Cruise stomped to death by a giant metal alien foot. In slow motion. For two hours. In real life.
    :teehee:

    It has its good moments but the way the alien died is just a bit odd for me lol.

    off to the next one

    Just watched this one; amazing

    The ending, to me, has a mixture of happy and at the same time, sad one.

    Hope the alien comes back!

    Off to the next one! : D

    Haha, yeh It's surprisingly a good movie, caught me off-guard first time I watched it. I presume you mean 1 hour 3 mins rather than 1 min 3 seconds lol...

    I realise this is your thread, but do you have any suggestions for movies? I'm always looking for new movies.
