Annabelle - Another horror flick that had some genuinely frightening scenes. I've watched a ton of horror movies going all the way back to the 70's, and some of the recent ones have really re-invigorated the genre...Another one that I thought really captured the newer vibe was Sinister with Ethan Hawke...

Watched Annabelle last night. Scary. Sinister - watched about a month ago. Agree...good one

Thanks! Have a new short list to pick from!
 
Just based on your movie selection, have you seen the movie, "The drop" with james gadolfini(aka tony soprano) great movie, imo he was the most underated actor of all time, all his roles have been gold, not just sopranos.

The rounders with matt damon was a great movie that has alot of quotes that are as apllicable to trading as anything youd see in reminisciences of a stock operator.

Snitch with Dwayne Johnson. Amazing movie. I'm thinking The Rock? C'mon.. Nope! He was great in this ultra-realistic, gritty drug movie.

Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise. Well done. Another realistic crime thriller. Really enjoyed it.

The Counsellor with Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz. Another drug cartel-inspired crime drama. Well done. Gritty, dark and well produced.

Salt with Angelina Jolie. Not a Jolie fan but this movie was really great. Very well done action/spy movie. If you like high-powered Washington DC political action movies with nukes and all, this was a great one.

Olympus Has Fallen with Gerard Butler. Well done political-action. Really a fun watch. Big time shoot em up.

World War Z with Brad Pitt. Zombie movie. Great. Really well done. Definitely worth a watch for something scary and believable.

Runner Runner with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake. Cool internet gambling movie. Lots of parrarells with trading. Well-produced and visually fun to watch.

Prometheus (sci-fi). If you loved Ridley Scotts Alien, just go watch it. Amazing movie. Extremely well done and compelling.

A Walk Among Tombstones with Liam Neeson. Another gritty, realistic serial killer flick. Good quality. Really enjoyed it.

Gone Girl with Ben Affleck. Worth a watch. Wasn't captivated. Nice cinematography and catchy visuals. Director had a crisp, sharp eye.

21 Jump Street with Tatum Channing. Funny. Lots of laughs.

Nightcrawler with Gyllenhaal - Decent. Enjoyed it. More dark, realistic grit.

Killer Elite with Statham and Deniro. Meh. Can't say this international spy thriller was compelling. Fell flat.

Wolf of Wallstreet. It'll go down as a classic, but it was mostly sex and drugs. Not heady at all, like the original Wallstreet.

The Factory with John Cusak. Skip it. Cheesy serial killer flick. Lacked realism imo.

Just watched The Drop two nights ago! Great flick! Another gritty, crime flick. Gadolfini always shines. Who was the lead? Was that Bane from Batman? He was good too. Nice ending.

Ya Rounders was a fun watch. There's a good movie called The Runner with Ben Affleck and Timberlake on Netflix. Internet gambling kingpin meets prodigy. Good one too.
