Got the day off today – no wife, no kids, no work!!! How excited am I?

Anyone got any recommendations for a good film to get engrossed in?

Fancy something which will be really absorbing. Something along the lines of I-robot, District 9, Sunshine.

ideally bit of Sci Fi, Thriller and / or adventure action.

Avatar 3D!

Moon definately, best sci fi film i've seen for ages

+1 for Moon

just watched 'We are marshall', based on a true story. Thought that was pretty good and engrossing. Couples retreat was not bad either

Watched first 45 mins of avatar but couldn't get 'into it'.

Or, just get out on the bike man

Moon was Sh7te!

+2 moon

Don't ever watch Pelham 123 or whatever its called.

I will never get those 3hrs of my life back.

Lord of the Rings trilogy special edition, for bulk if nothing else.

11.5 hours. Then there's the extras. You might want to lock down for a couple of days… 😯

5 hours of hobbit dancing?

State of Play is good

Your clue to it's crappiness should have been that it's got John Trovolta in it.

He should have stopped after Pulp fiction.

Raining outside plus we rode for 8hrs yesterday so chilling today 😉

Travolta in Face Off was good, and then he should have stopped.

The last Star Trek movie is pretty good for sci fi.
24 season 7 as a thriller is quite enjoyable.

Man on Wire

Gran Torino

moon's excellent.

i watched inglourious basterds yesterday. super.

"all the presidents men" bit retro (70's film) but shows state of play how to do political intrigue (although obviously it's not sci fi or adventure)

ride your bike! (says me sat on my ar5e… )

+4 for Moon.

Moon does look good but is it a film to watch while on you own?

That "Apocalypto" thing that was on on Sun was very good.

Erm…yes?

What a strange thing to ask.

ride your bike!

+1

Would love to ride my bike, but knackered from yesterday

What I meant about Moon was – I'm on my own today and if it is about loneliness I don't want to finish my day a gibbering wreck

Awww bless!

PMSL! 😉

I'm a bit sensitive!

+5 for Moon… I watched it alone in the house and at no point went (any more) mad.

Hmm, lots of praise for Moon, think I'll have to get hold of that one

On DVD/B-Ray now.

Edit: Nice ninja edit younggeoff.

Niche – what didn't you like about it?

It was just crap mate, ended up walking off after about 45 mins, it just goes on and on, Mandi watched the whole thing and said it was crap too, must be if she says so as she can put up with all sorts of pish on TV 😉
Gran Torino was a good film!

Raining there is it? Snowing here 😉 Moscow though so no snowboarding ;-(

Watched Apocalypto yesterday after recording it on sunday. Really enjoyed it and quite spectacular – recommended..

Hmmm…. Looks good but the idea of a film about someone on their own sounds a bit lame

Yeah, apocolypto is awesome as is gran torino, great films!

I watched Moon and I felt it could have been a lot better.
I mean it was a decent idea, but a bit obvious and hardly groundbreaking.
I'd still say it was worth watching but I wouldn't get too excited about it

It doesnt fall into the category you're looking for but I can highly recommend Black Sheep.

Watched it last night and its one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time.

Question – What film?

Answer –

ride your bike!

Who Directed that then?

Well, I liked Moon.
Other absorbing films (in my book, at least…):

Brick
Into The Wild
Solaris

State of Play is good

That film is based on an old BBC 6 part drama with John Simm which was really good. I'd be interested to see the film.
