...to rent tonight, thinking something with a bit of action, a bit of humour and a bit of a plot, something like "kiss kiss bang bang" or "Red"

I have been browsing around IMDB but can't find anything that really takes my fancy.

Watchmen is an awful film.

Blazing saddles is funny but misses 2 out of the 3 criteria.

Great choices, you have good taste, unfortunately seen them all 🙁

I may actually watch grosse point blank again, love the film, the soundtrack and the line "That guy is either in love with my daughter or he has a newfound respect for life" 😆

oldie but a goodie KungFu Hustle, though the plot isn't huge.

I have decided to go with "catch 22" seven psychopaths looks interesting for another night.

I've never seen that. Looks like it has an impossibly young looking Alan Arkin in it though...

from your choices, and the 'already seens' I recommend Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Blitz or if you're feeling cheesy The Sweeney is just stupidly ridiculous, but I quite enjoyed it, its the nearest I've yet seen to GTA - the Movie...

'Intermission' might be worth a watch. I enjoyed it.

EDIT: why will nothing embed?

EDIT: thanks!

Anyway the original Intermission is the best.

Watched "Almost Famous" the other week. Way, way OT compared to your spec but something different. Some ace music.

I watched Trance last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Danny Boyle on top form.

Untouchable - recent French film about a disabled man and his carer. It's funny, tragic, funny, sad, exciting then funny again. Great film

I'm guessing it's too late, but sounds like you need to rent Robocop.

But only if it's a dollar!

admittedly too late, but still....
Why Harry Dean Stanton isn't in the trailer though, he's the best part of the film

2nd vote for the "The Guard" brilliant film, such a great build up of pace and tension.

a bit of action, a bit of humour and a bit of a plot

Ticks all the boxes. Best film of the last year IMHO. Darkly funny, and making some pretty interesting points. And loads of people get killed. Whats not to like 😀
