Zodiac is actually my favorite movie. I remember the anticipation before going to see it. I was a huge David Fincher fan (still am) and he had made a movie about something I'd been fasinated with since childhood. But unlike most movies that you build up before you see it, this one didn't disappoint. It was the only time I was scared watching a movie. Afterwards, my fasination turned into a bit of an obsession.
I'm not a Graysmith fan, but focussing the movie around Graysmith worked.
As much as I love Zodiac, the movie, it only touches the surface. If it was possible to do a Bachelor's Degree majoring in Zodiac Killer studies, Fincher's film would be viewed in the first class of Zodiac 101. That's how much more to this case there is.

Years ago, I was in a lineup buying the DVD, and this lady behind me just blurted out to me how much she hated Zodiac. She said something to the effect of, I hate to spoil it in xase you haven't seen it, but it's a long, boring movie, and they don't even catch the guy in the end. I told her it was one of the things I loved about it. In fact, I'd argue the opposite. I didn't say this to her, but I think Fincher tried to clue it up a little too much by making it seem likd ALA was still a viable suspect.

Platoon is a classic. Sheen and Stone at their peak.
Anyone have a favorite director? Kubrick is mine. He is the greatest, there is no arguing it.

V for Vendetta, Godfather1, Seven, Sixth sense...so many good films to chose from, good in their own way.
My all time sf movie is probably Aliens2 or Star Wars (childhood memories).
