OT:When i see a movie and it haunts me years after i know i must own it.
I am now ordering this via amazon.com.
<<PI: A brilliant mathematician teeters on the brink of insanity as he searches for an elusive numerical code in this critically acclaimed, sci-fi thriller.

Maximilian Cohen (Sean Gullette) is on the verge of the most important discovery of his life. For the past ten years, he has been attempting to decode the numerical pattern beneath the ultimate system of ordererd chaos - the stock market. As Max verges on a solution, chaos is swallowing the world around him. Pursued by an aggressive Wall Street firm set on financial dominance and a Kaballah sect intent on unlocking the secrets behind their ancient holy texts, Max races to crack the code, hoping to defy the madness that looms before him. Instead, he uncovers a seccret for which everyone is willing to kill.>> its' average rating is 4 out 5 stars--but there are several 5 star ratings.
This movie would get a 0 rating by many, however.
It is shot in black and white using a handheld camera with a dank dread dreary apartment(it does however most definitely have a PC in it) as its' main setting for starters:)
The director did in 1998 get the best director award at the Sundance Film festival for this move simply entitled PI.
