Great List except for Catwoman - however, if you go in with lowered expectations in can be fun. I never saw ghost world but I just added it to my list. another movie that you mike like that I do not believe was ever a comic, but it has that feels like one is Equilibrium. The plot is listed below. In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: Books, art and music are strictly forbidden, and feeling is a crime punishable by death -- a rule that's enforced by feeding the denizens a mood-limiting drug. John Preston is a top government official responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. But when he misses a dose of his own medication, he experiences a pang of conscience.
It reminds me of Vendetta a little. i love the cast. It includes: Christian Bale, Taye Diggs, Emily Watson, Sean Bean, Dominic Purcell, and Dominic Purcell --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "ravenadal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Like you, I am mad for "V for Vendetta," possibly the wordiest comic > book movie ever made.
