Topic starter
 

My Lovefilm list is somewhat lacking so I'm looking for ideas. Thrillers, comedy, foreign language, documentaries all welcome. Not horror or 'boys' sci-fi (missus not too fussed about sci-fi). Here's some things I've seen that I've enjoyed.

King's Speech
Last King of Scotland
Lives of Others
Any Bourne film
Riding Giants (surf not pr0n)
Man on Wire
In Bruges
21
The Kite Runner
Day of the Jackal (original)
Hangover

Ta.

someone has to say it: Blade Runner

The Damned United, whether you're a fan or a hater of "dirty Leeds"

+1 Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and also the second one in the trilogy; I haven't seen the third one yet. Please don't wait for the Hollywood remakes

also, some of the old classics are, quite rightly, classic.

eg.
Casablanca
Bridge On The River Kwai
pretty much any Hitchcock
Breakfast At Tiffany's

The Matrix (but neither of the sequels)
Point Break (yes, really)
Kelly's Heroes
The Dambusters/633 Squadron/Battle Of Britain, "lest we forget"
