When the discussion of favorite movie comes up in screenwriting class I usually just say "Fight Club" so people will know what I'm talking about, but since there are no boundaries on LJ:

SURVIVE STYLE 5+
Survive Style 5+ is a -- sort of a weird movie, to be completely honest. But amazingly charming, too. The visuals are great -- full of color, very very stylish -- for a start, and the story is pretty fun once you get the hang of following the five separate narratives that meander through the movie. Tadanobu Asano (Kakihara from Ichi the Killer, and other movies like Akarui Mirai, Zatoichi, The Taste of Tea) plays a man who wants to kill his wife, played by Hashimoto Reika (model and actress, and totally hot), except she keeps coming back to life and beating the snot out of him. And then a hypnotist and an advertisement creative director and a happy nuclear family and a bunch of thieves get thrown into the story. Oh, and Vinnie Jones. It's not exactly the most coherent of films, but it's very colorful, and unexpectedly very sweet once you take the whole thing into account. Oh yeah, it also has the most amazing kinetic typography opening credits I've seen so far. Very highly recommended!
