12 Monkeys

Why:  I wanted Jonathan to see it

I really like this movie.  First of all, it's got hot, short haired Brad Pitt (for the first 1/2 of the movie anyways - then his hair gets long and he's got a scary mustache).  Second of all, it's a very unique movie.  It really makes you think.  You're not thinking about life or anything important, just thinking about the twists and turns of the movie.

Bruce Willis is a prisoner in the future.  The "scientists" (creepy people!) send him back in time (to the early 90's, or "present day") to help figure out what happened.  You see, everybody in the future is living underground.  Turns out 90% of the world's population died in 1996.

Unfortunatly, when you travel back in time, and try to convince people that you're from the future, they think you're nuts.  Bruce Willis ends up in the nut house, where he meets Brad Pitt (who is also nuts).  His shrink thinks Bruce Willis looks really familiar, but thinks he's nuts none the less.

Bruce Willis escapes from the nut house, kidnaps the scientist, and tries to prove to her that he's from the future.  Bruce Willis knows what radical group is going to kill 90% of the world ... or does he?  Will be able to stop them with the scientists help?  Will crazy Brad Pitt successfully kill pretty much everybody?

I highly encourage you to find this movie on cable.  It's very different and it's a good time!  Did I mention hot short haired Brad Pitt is in this movie?
