Have you seen anything good recently? Nothing too thought provoking, more the kind of film you can watch with friends and chat rubbish a little the same time.

The classics are usually the best, Die Hard, Predator or Rambo

It’s a bit of an oldie now, but if you’ve not seen it then The Losers is pretty cracking.

Kill List though? Not thought provoking? 😉

Black Hawk Down.

Demolition Man is one of my faves; lots of action (AKA violence), decent Sci-fi story and really forgettable one-liners.

If Stallone, Snipes & Sandra’s Bollox had a shred of acting ability it could have actually been quite good 🙂

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jnr/Jude Law in a Victorian Lock Stock)

Lucky Number Slevin (good mix of action with a good story)

Boondock Saints (classic favourite of mine)

Must admit I wasn’t too impressed by Kill List, even worse I borrowed it from a friend and a week later was sent it by lovefilm. My fault, but what a waste of a credit!

We have seen al the usual classics, but will check out the losers.

Can’t beat some Nicholas Cage rubbish: Con Air or The Rock are good fun.

Or an Alien/Aliens fest in the run-up to a boys night out to watch Prometheus at the end of the month?

Hamburger Hill
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Shaving Ryans Privates

Good call on the Alien films, we will be off to the cinema for Prometheus.We have seen most of those mega, but not the last one.

Machine gun preacher? Any good?

Not seen Machine Gun Preacher yet. God Bless America is worth a watch, but not as good as it could have been, in my humble opinion.

Have you seen Shoot ’em Up? WAY better than I thought it would be. No plot whatsoever, but the action scenes are pretty awesome. Which is most of the film…

machete!
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/machete/

Pretty sure I have seen ‘shoot em up’, but can’t really remember it. We quite like war based films like Tears of the sun, Black Hawk Down, Blood Diamond.. , not sure if there are any recent ones though.

Is machete any good?

knives, boobs, guns, jessica alba. Ultra (comically) violent.
What’s not to like?

*adds Machete to watch list*

Can’t think of any recent war type fillums, though I’m sure there have been a few.

Apocalypse Now is still pretty much unsurpassed for utter mentalness

Apocalypse Now is good, but seen many times.

Planet Terror is a good watch if you liked Machete.

Really enjoyed “Tucker and Dale vs Evil”

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/

Zombieland? You HAVE seen Zombieland right?

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

Excellent film, best watched though (too good to talk through/over)
I’ll have a look at planet terror thanks.

Hobo with a shotgun

or

Drive Angry

Both daft and rubbish, but oddly brilliant at the same time!

13th Warrior
It’s a very silly film with Vikings, swords, fights, mud and rain – what’s not to like.

Bonkers….

Some of Denzel Washington’s films make for a good boys night film. Man on Fire is a cracker!!

Machete is ace IMO.

Same goes for Training Day.

Seen training day, man on fire, zombieland and 13th warrior, just added Machine gun preacher to my lovefilm list. We usually only talk if the film is a let down.

Dead Snow (good for a laugh)
TT – Closer to the Edge
The Transporter
Payback
Hurt Locker

If you liked Zombieland you’ll probably love The Losers.

Ronin

Bagstard – Member

Machine gun preacher? Any good?

Good but not what you’re looking for.

The Departed
True Grit 2010 version
Green Zone

Dead Mans Shoes

Any of the Bourne films.
Hurt Locker
Green Mile
Hunt for red October is a classic

Black Hawk Down really annoyed me…

Super
Red State
+ 1,000,000 for Dead Snow – Zombie Nazis hell yeah!

On Golden Pond

30 Days of Night.
Equilibrium.
Unleashed.
District 13.
Children of Men.

1. The Shawshank Redemption.
2. Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs
3. No Country For Old Men
4. Jaws
5. Duel
or
6. Deliverance.

WTF people!! 🙄
