Domino (2005)

  I live to be as cool as Domino Harvey.  If even half the shit in this movie is true, that was one of the most badass chicks to ever walk the face of the Earth.

Domino (Keira Knightley) is the daughter of a Hollywood movie star and a former model.  She could have turned into a A-list socialite, but instead gave up a career as a model for Ford and became a bounty hunter under Ed Moseby (Mickey Rourke).  Domino, Ed, and their third partner, Choco (Edgar Ramirez), run bonds out of Los Angeles for a man named Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo), until a simple assignment turns into a clusterfuck of missing millions, a one-armed man, and the Mob.

This movie makes me happy on so many levels.  It's got sex, humor, so much violence, crazy shenanigans, celebrity hostages, mysticism, mescaline, and Jerry Springer.  Shake all that up, set it on fire and you have Domino.  If that's not enough, it was directed by Tony Scott from a screenplay by Richard Kelly, the guy who wrote Donnie Darko.  It's amazing.
