Recomend me some fillums please, oh discerning STW massive

Just about to update my Love Film list so they can carry on sending me quality Fillums, and so keep me in my rightful place. Welded to the sofa, Homer Simpson Style, with a beer in my hand, scratching my arse and farting. What a vision that is for you all to savour. I’d be out on my bike more but it keeps raining. I suspect that’s due to continue

Anyway… recommend me something you’ve enjoyed recently please. Any genre acceptable. Exploding helicopters, zombies or Swedish noire. Anythings fair game. Last ones we’ve had were Let the Right One In (proper one, not your Holywood remake nonsense) and No Country for Old Men

GO!!!…..

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

+1000000

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 I have to sit through these too……

And…

He’s got his own Debbie does Dallas 😉

I can’t see any chick flicks here guys?

(just remembered some more)

Tell No One
Stander
Do The Right Thing
The Lives of Others
Nine Queens (original)
Tsotsi
Amores Perros
Fargo

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

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

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:

Priceless[/url]
Heartbreaker[/url]

I LOVE 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)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095250/%5B/url%5D

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

Your Mrs will love it too 😉
