TT3d?!
It doesnt do him any favours IMO. Hes probably a nice bloke but I dont get the middle aged man **** fest over him.
Savior.
Brilliant, so many new films to check out 🙂
Surely the daddy of them all has to be Eraserhead !
Whenever I watch Kes I always want to go and batter that prick Judd !
Nebraska
I can't get Rust & Bone on Netflix do you have to upgrade?
Sorry - might actually be on lovefilm/ Amazon prime
We have Nebraska waiting to watch.
The Matrix, on first viewing blew me away. Also, The Boy with the Striped Pyjamas.
Recently watched Night Of The Hunter, Casablanca and Brighton Rock at the pictures. On the big screen, they were just amazing.
Watched this on an Air France flight a few years ago, its very good in an all round entertaining sort of way.

The Boy with the Striped Pyjamas.
Ah yes, didn't see the end coming frankly.
Dead Man's Shoes is incredible.
Scott pilgrim vs the world.
Mrshora wanted to scratch her eyes out.
Its ****ing awesome.
Lilya 4ever - seriously grim and very sad, but worth every grimy horrible moment. (Russian with subtitles for those who care)
Tyrannasaur is mesmerising. It's this side of watchable, in the way that Nil by Mouth becomes too much.
Vintage Mike Leigh always had a dramatic effect on me. Naked is a hard watch, but utterly compelling. Especially the rant to the security guard. Meantime is bloody brilliant too! I don't think Tim Roth has ever bettered it, especially Colins final scene.
The last scene of Withnail always makes me cry. When you realise it's a love story
A couple that I've seen recently that I've really enjoyed.

Boy with the Striped Pyjamas.
First film i thought of when i read the OP.
I think I have seen the Boy with the striped pyjamas, is that the one based in a concentration camp? If so I really didn't see that ending coming.
Any Ken Loach, as he manages to put just enough humour in to stop it becoming too overwhelming.
Sweet Sixteen, My Name is Joe, or Raining Stones
Shane Meadows 24 7 is worth re watching, as it's the best thing Bob Hoskins ever did. It's genius!
I always knew there was a bit of a the bedwetter in you binners 😛
Another vote for the Boy in Striped Pyjamas. The ending really knocked me for six. OH and I just sat for about 15 mins afterwards in total silence.

It was the 30mins of silence after The Railway Man that prompted this thread.
I watched Snowtown. I felt like I needed to shower at least 4 times afterwards to wash the grimness off.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to stumble across Into The Wild the day after and felt a similar size hit from it, but in a positive way.
Up.
Watched it numerous times (with the kids). Each and every time it gets me.
Children of Men is thought provoking.
Robot and Frank raised some interesting ideas about dementia.
Intouchables was the film of last year by far. Even the kids were hooked, once I sold it to them with "you can turn it off AFTER five minutes if you want".
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.
Oh... my.
The Road probably had the biggest effect on me in recent years. That's a stunner.
The last film I watched was 'only God forgives'. I'm always intrigued by torture in movies - not as a fetish, it just makes me wonder what humans can endure physically and mentally. Anyway, there's a torture scene in that which had me wincing in bed trying to get to sleep afterwards. Brutal.
Come & See.
breaking the waves
dead mans shoes
striped pyjamas
The English Patient - the scene where RF carried KST out of the cave, and the one where JB injects him with morphine are soggy hankies all round. Not a dry eye in the house.
Finding Nemo, and Toy Story 3, get me every time. And every time is 2/3 times per week.
Just seen Holy Motors.
......
Let me get back to you.
Finding Nemo, and Toy Story 3, get me every time. And every time is 2/3 times per week.
my 2.5yo boy goes all quiet and glassy eyed at the end scene from toy story 3 when Andy gives the kid the toys, its strange watching someone so small and of the temperament he normally is, show quite that much understood emotion
I have seen quite a few films on these posts, 'Come and see', was very good. When I saw 'Once were Warriors', I went across the road from the cinema to a pub and downed 2 pints in rapid succession.
some of my choices.
twin peaks fire walk with me
the crow
the animatrix (beyond)
grave of the fireflies
belle vue rendezvous
nikita
the accused
dark city
the cube
+1 for Martyrs
Shawshank (natch)
Leon
Se7en
Man Bites Dog
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (quite possibly the coldest film I have ever seen).
Antichrist (bonkers)
Little Miss Sunshine.
The dancing at the end made me proud to be a human
Touching the void .. Joe Simpson
+1 for Finding Nemo.
Also Dancer in the dark 😐
The boy in the striped pyjamas
I just watched it. Great.
Into the wild. Great film, amazing scenes and sad ending. The book is good too.
Senna. As mentioned earlier Pan's Labyrinth. Good film. Disturbing, don't know if I would watch it twice. Similarly, The Fly by David Cronenberg.
Pans had a couple of 'moments'
most surprisingly, recently watched Django Unchained - **** fight scene really got me
I saw Locke a wee while ago. Fantastic, a simple story, brilliantly told.
Yep, you're so damn right...Little Miss Sunshine.The dancing at the end made me proud to be a human
Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki (studio ghibli) is a masterpiece of story telling, one of my (if not "the") best films ever
On a more recent note I found "under the skin" to get under my skin and stay with me for days afterwards ( no pun intended btw), I ended up buying it so that's 6 films I now own , I thought it was the best film I've watched since "moon", I don't watch that many films and haven't been to the cinema since " into the void - joe simpson" came out years ago.
Not so many, which is quite a sad fact as I've watched thousands of films. The few that immediately come to mind:
Sin Nombre
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
Walkabout
L'Enfer
+1 for 'Tyrannasaur'
Schindler's List
The Thin Red Line
Somers Town (Honourable mention just because it was really touching and redolent of youth in working class Britain)
