Am in the process of converting a load of old DVDs for the iPad so have watched a few oldies in the last couple of weeks:

Leon
Fight Club
Blade Runner
Love, Honour & Obey
I Am Legend
Quadraphenia

More modern stuff would be Ted & Skyfall - enjoyed both.

Not really the same kind of movie, but I thought Nitro Circus the movie was the best I've seen this year.

I'm with DezB and Rusty Spanner, have just watched the Girl with Dragon Tattoo/Played with Fire/Kicked the Hornets Nest trilogy on C4. Having now watched all three films, the first becomes so much better! Really is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of it's parts.

You've seen them already? Hard to judge a film before you've seen it..

Forgot to add, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, a lovely new approach to a romantic comedy
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1307068/

Also recently watched A Serious Man - odd, very odd. But also very enjoyable, and much more to it then first appears. Very clever.

Tyrannosaur

Gripping, gritty, well acted & stays with you for days.

The Intouchables - great French film, and one of my 2012 top films.

I enjoyed Machine Gun Preacher (watched it last night)

Thanks, put them on my list 🙂

Dead Snow and Machete? Oh, go on then... 😀

Flight of the navigator is on BBC 2 - one of my favourites of all time. I hope it's as good as I remember it.

Though fatally flawed in concept, badly cast and woodenly directed I actually enjoyed Rock of Ages. Mainly because my expectations were set low.

Just finished watching Looper.. worth watching IMO.

I thought Looper was great as well - flawed - but a good yarn

Funniest film of the year has been Ted, whilst most surpisingly funny film was the Muppets (I'm highly embarrassed about admitting this..)

I also thought Premium Rush was good - the first bike specific movie i'd seen since BMX Bandits

Watched a film called Margin Call last night , i thought it was brilliant. [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615147/ ]link[/url]

Been watching nothing but films this christmas as my ribs are shattered and the whole family is ill.

Worst film was Bourne legacy, which was pointless. I enjoyed Spiderman 3 which I'd not watched due to its poor reviews much more than the amazing spiderman which was a bit meah.

Planning to watch Magic Mike and Mirrorball tonight
