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;

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.

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

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.
