Sin City. Good cross of splatterpunk and film noir. Dark, gruesome, and violent, with a really strong vigilante streak. The Crow hybridized with the Maltese Falcon and Scarface. My wife commented that our little girl will get to see it when she's thirty.

Honestly, I expected that movie to be much more violent than it actually was- I was expecting to be shocked by the stuff in it, but none of it was shocking.

5 Minutes of a good war movie beats it with gore.

Wanna be shocked? Rent The Pillow Book by Peter Greenaway. Way too much full frontal male nudity. You even get to see Obi Wan's package

Maybe it's like the late sixties again. Look for ten years of unceasing cynicism. The movies will get worse, but the music will get better.

Pillow Book I love that movie. I own most of Greenaway's available catalogue. I had to dl Baby of Macon, since it's banned in the US.

A lot of Peter Greenaway's output is shocking. "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover", "A Zed and Two Noughts", "They Baby of Macon" are probably the most shocking. The others have only brief moments of shock and most of them have lots of nudity.

There were quite a few last year.

Silly Macedonian, Movies are meant by nature to be played in a darkened theatre. Guess those outdoor ampitheatre shows don't quite hack it now that you have the marvels of indoor theatre.

Now THAT would make an impressively dark movie. Assuming they could fit in into less than 30 hours.

Movies getting darker. I do not think so. It is just the movie industry posturing to make the big bucks. Right now dark movies are not making big waves in the cineplexes in the US right now.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

dark movies are better than fluffy hollywood movies.

Though I should note, all the above movies are fluffy. Not nearly as dark as I would like them. Actually I haven't seen sin city, so I can't comment on that one.

You mean the first book, right?

They could do a miniseries... each chapter being an episode would probably work out.
