..The Seven Samurai.
Great film. Even my teenage son was glued to it despite it ticking all the "this film is lame" boxes; black and white, subtitled, 3 hours long.
I must admit I was glued to it too. If you've not seen it....etc.
Any other recommendations?
Hell boy 2, and i am ashamed of myself for doing so. 
Indiana jones and the Raiders of the lost ark
Red Eye
watching it now, but just 'cos the lead lady is very easy on the eye!
Drag me to Hell, we had free tickets that needed using and didn't fancy watching Hannah Montana The Movie, walked out after 45 minutes it was that bad, kinda wished we'd gone to see Hannah Montana now
Yojimbo is another Kurosawa classic, but think the last film I watched was Nacho Libre...was alright.
Got The Host to watch sometime soon and it should be good.
last film I watched was The Dark Knight. Very good, and very dark indeed.
Tonight i finished watching Let The Right One In and Martyrs. The former was fantastic the latter was just, in my opinion, stupid.
Red Eye because somebody told me it was good. Looks good so far.
Ooh, I think it was Glupton of Solace, and I was sorely disappointed, tbh. More like one of those awful Bourne films, than a Bond. Sorry, but Craig just is not Bond. His two films have lacked the charm and humour that Bond is all about. I don't want 'dark' or 'edgy', I want Bond.
Nothing worth watching on tv, so I've just watched Appleseed :Ex Machina.
Bloody brilliant anime.
Last non anime film I watched was The Transporter.
Disengage brain, activate popcorn lifting arm, enjoy!
'The Fall' by Tarsem Singh. Dead good, very sweet and very gentle. Lots to look at.
Watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom earlier - working our way through the as S.O doesn't want to watch the new one without seeing the old ones.
..The Seven Samurai.
Must see this soon - was voted best film ever in one poll I saw.
My last - Fargo (the Coen Brothers) - SUPURB.
I'm watching Ghost World at the mo. It's making more sense this time, watching it sober...
last film I saw at a cinema - Full Monty
Can't go to cinemas any more (so the judge said), I bloody HATE people !
Angels and Demons, and Vue Cinemas can whistle for me to ever return to their Exeter venue.
£7.45 each for a ticket, and then they shoved us in a room with a screen the size of a small bath towel and an el-cheapo digital projector playing the movie from Bluray (presumably), since I could see all the pixels and the continual watermarking really pissed me off.
Frankly, it's no wonder people pirate movies.
Seven Samurai is what The Magnificent Seven was based on. Kurosawa's films are also based on Shakespeare's plays in some instances; Ran on King Lear, Throne of Blood on Macbeth...
The last film I've seen was Star Trek on (Orange)Wednesday; bloody excellent, couldn't believe how much fun it was. Never much of a fan of the cheesy original, and the various offshoots I never bothered with at all, but they've got a great cast who look like the originals could look when younger, and there's a lot of humour in it. Before that Coraline in 3D, Monsters v Aliens in 3D, Fast and Furious, Bolt in 3D, and looking forward to Transformers, Terminator Salvation, Up, Ice Age 3D...
Commando with Arnie - classic 
As Count Zero said Seven Samurai became The Magnificent Seven. SS is one of my favorite films and I have never seen the seven.
Yojimbo became Fist Full of Dollars. I struggle to choose which I prefer out of the two.
Coraline, which was excellent (not as good as book) - dark, scary. How lucky i am to have a daughter who'd rather die than see Hannah Montana or High School Musical!
I just watch The Spirit, which was fun in a silly way.
Aliens in 20 minute bursts (the little lad has started to repeat naughty words) on DVD .
However my missus did insist on watching a feature length Jonathan Creek Christmas special on GOLD last night.
watched the x files second film last night, utter "jack right"
His two films have lacked the charm and humour that Bond is all about. I don't want 'dark' or 'edgy', I want Bond.
I find this quite sad. The character Bond *is* dark and edgy, it's only his on-screen persona that is made charming and humorous, presumably to sell films.
Last film I saw was Star Trek the new movie, quite entertaining and fun watching the old characters being introduced. Old Spock looks OLD!
2 days in Paris. Not bad but i wanted to slap the main characters silly after about 15 minutes.
(Not the dodgy prono flim with that awful american.)
