City Of God, best film ever made

Sexy Beast
Un Prophet

+100 City of God

True Grit
Winters Bone
The Hide

Debbie Does Dallas.

I've got City of God on DVD. Its utter genius. As is Sexy Beast. We're on the right lines here then. Keep em coming! 😀

Oh... and I can get TV series box sets from Love Film too, so lets throw that one open as well

Black Sheep.

Not quite a stuffed goat on wheels film, but close. I thought it even better than ghostbusters, and that's saying something.

love this film 😀

oh yeah, and recommends on a site called "bloodydisgusting.com" have got to be worth a lot

Un Prophet

Enjoyed all of these lately (or the last couple of months):

Salt - she kills, then kills some more, ace.
Despicable me - very good fun to watch, vs megamind which was poor
Skyline - totally slagged everywhere but I throughly enjoyed it. Brain dead fodder to be fair, aliens and screaming people are ace
Battlefield Los Angeles - see above but as a Black hawk down remake.
How to train your dragon - good fun, nothing earth shattering
Red - Old now, but have you seen the cast?
The A-Team - Again quite old but a remake that works well IMO.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish 2009) - Very dark, so dark I'm struggling to start the 2nd film
Unknown - S'ok, not as good as Taken

Currently half way through 22 Bullets.. seems ok (dodgy subtitles though on my copy)

EDIT: Oh did love the True Grit remake too..

Un Prophet

+1000001

(you've probably seen these but...)

The Big Lebowski
Fight Club
Platoon
Twelve Monkeys
Jaws
LA Confidential
Casino
Delicatessen
Raising Arizona
Memento
Donnie Darko
Leon
Primer
OldBoy

(for starters)

The fastest Indian
No it dosnt involve a loaf in dehli......

oh and if you've got a *lot* of time, then you could just watch 'The Wire' from start to finish as I did 2 summers ago.

also this

A Town Called Panic - Toy Story on drugs. Mental but brilliant. Made by the cravendale milk people.

Also Dead Alive. Fun zombie gore fest. Top scene = bloke with flymo strapped to his chest running at a sea of zombies. Top quote from a priest: "kick ass for the lord".

Bloodydisgusting.com liked it too.

Rumblefish
Down by Law

and this

awesome film 😀

We've already done the Wire Alex. Twice 😉 It is THAT good.

Some great suggestions folks. Un Prophet looks like a must then.

I only just got round to watching American Beauty the other day and thought it was brilliant.

Check out Primer, I'm still trying to make sense of it 😆

Bear in mind [b]I have to sit through these too[/b]......

And...

He's got his own Debbie does Dallas 😉

I can't see any chick flicks here guys?

Tsotsi
Amores Perros

Ooops, also called brain dead over here. Check out this for a kung fu priest

My mrs loved the fastest Indian
It's a bit chickyfliky

Chick flick: Music and Lyrics

Sexy Beast
Children of Men
and..
Love, Honour & Obey

Nine Queens is great!

Chick flicks:

[url= http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/priceless/ ]Priceless[/url]
[url= http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/larnacoeur/ ]Heartbreaker[/url]

I [b]LOVE[/b] Music and Lyrics and have it but I can't see Binners sitting through that unless I lie and say Drew Barrymore gets naked....?

127 hours (to be a bit more current).

First film I've seen for a long time that actually made me half-cover my eyes and go "Eeeeewww...".

Favourite "Chick Flick ": The Lake House.

Bagpuss: there's a half naked Haley Bennett in it. And if that doesn't work then maybe mention Hugh gets to shake his tooshie... 😉

Let me dispel a proliferating myth.

Un Prophet is not brilliant. It is boring. SO dull that I cannot be arsed deconstructing it to justify my comment. Binners - it's 155mins of paint drying - albeit French paint.

I will give a recommendation: Funny Games. The German original or Hollywood re-do. They are both excellent.

Drew Barrymore?

brain dead zombie baby scene

Does it feature any scenes remotely like this dear?

The Big Blue (1998)

If you are a Jean Reno fan, well worth watching.

Your Mrs will love it too 😉

Chick flick: always, Audrey hepburns last film, great cast. I almost cracked a tear out. Almost, it's that good.
Leon, Leon, Leon.
Run lola run in german if they have it. Sorta like their trainspotting but without so much drugs, lots of running tho..
That is all, for now.

Worth watching Paranormal Activity for...

I quite liked How to Train Your Dragon too.

Telstar and Finding Eric are good too.

If you can do subtitles the I thouroughly recommend "Black Cat, White Cat". Very bizarre, very funny. I got it from LoveFilm because the same director, Emir Kusturica, made the excellent "Life is a Miracle" which a friend persauded me to watch - also excellent.

If you want something completely different I highly recommend "Lebanon".

It is an Israeli film set in 1982, and shot all from the inside of a tank. Clearly based on a play ?? I was riveted.

And I think it won the Venice prize, so it's not just me...

Opinion is a funny thing. In my opinion, this film looks shit.
This looks pretty good though;

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1213205-prophet/

Fastest Indian +1
How to Train Your Dragon - Really enjoyed this.
Usual suspects
Zombie Land
Salt - Better than I expected it to be.
Blind Side - Missus will probably enjoy it as well.

Firefly (TV)
Serenity (Film)
*cough* geek *cough*

This. Critically, in this order.

I'm currently waiting for this to come out.

Can I also take an opportunity to pimp my mate's Movie Review website again? It really is very good. http://iwfsydht.blogspot.com/

Rec 1 and rec 2 (The spanish original ones)

lighter . . . ? Will ferrell's Step Brothers

Papillon

+1 for Lebanon. Truly enthralling and shocking.

Rec 1 and rec 2 (The spanish original ones)

Agree with Rec 1 but Rec 2 was shite imo! The first one's one of my favourite horror type films, great atmosphere.

Something very different perhaps... A bit of intellectual stimulation. Not a movie, not a documentary, although it takes place amongst real events. Its something lyrical in between the two, a bit like watching a book.

"Robinson in Ruins" comes out this week on Doovd

its the sequel to "Robinson in Space"

which is the sequel to "London"

London is breath takingly good, all the more so in the way whole swathes of life 20 years ago that you'd totally forgotten come crashing back at you. its fab.

My Life As A Dog (Swedish)
Show Me Love (Swedish - original title 'F***ing Amal')

La Haine (was thinking of buying a copy of this to watch again but Amazon reviews suggest the subtitle graphics are not very clear)

Another vote for Run Lola Run. Don't watch when intoxicated, the frenetic opening credits made me heave :0

La Haine (was thinking of buying a copy of this to watch again but Amazon reviews suggest the subtitle graphics are not very clear)

I found them fine. Worth a punt for £4.

Just watched Zombieland. Excellent brain-off entertainment.

To slow the pace down (a lot) Snow Falling On Cedars and A Midnight Clear are VERY good.

Round it off with Pan's Labyrinth, for a look at how films should be.

I follow Last Exit to Nowhere on FB - lots of good film recommendations on there - keeps uTorrent busy anyway 😉

watched Life in a Day at cinema on monday - part pretentious, part Apple TV advert.......but I thoroughly enjoyed it - prob not on Lovefilm for a while yet tho

Once were warriors.
Very compelling film dealing with fairly harsh issues.
Man bites Dog.
Very black humour surrounding a serial killer.
