Recommend me some films!

[melon]

For Xmas I got a month subscription to lovefilm to go with a two months for free offer.

I have about 30 odd titles and am on the lookout for other films people may have seen that they thought were good. I'll watch almost anything and please bear in mind we may not have teh same tatses!

I'll watch most things but no sopping romance.

Thanks in advance!

I should start listing when I had so far:-

*I either never finished or angry that I did. Quite rare.
** Okay, will not watch again. Probably largest category.
*** Good, could watch again.
**** Impressed; would recommend. Usually with a standout feature such as dialogue or storyline.
***** Must watch. Very rare.

Atonement **** enjoyable and I hate romance. Still cannot understand the ladies motives though........
AvPR2 * Series cash in. Could quite possibly be the last film I watch in either series in protest. I mean what was the point?
Black Death ** starts out okay but then you realise there really isn't a storyline there; could have been so much better.
Book of Eli - disc was faulty. ** Alright but no mad max. Should have called it the book of ee-lie.
Dorian Grey * couldn't finish; could be better.
Four Lions ** Still confused over what it had tried to be. The humour has been cut quite sharply with thoroughly depressing episodes.
Fracture *** Nice film; Hopkins is at his serial killer best.
The girl who played with fire *** Not bad but not up to the book>
Inception ***. Enjoyed, nice idea for a film and perhaps takes itself (or leonardo does) too seriously.
The international ** Ok
Iron Man 2 ** okay
The Jacket **** I do enjoy these kind of films.
Kiss Kiss bang bang
Kontroll
The Losers *** Better than your average action lark.
Midnight Run ***
Moon *** Not bad at all. Was expecting something more taxing and rewarding.
Predators ** Okay.
Pride and glory ** okay
Salt ** Could have been quite good if it was not so predictable.
Shutter island *** left me a little confused. Would watch again if only to see if I could decifer the end (or perhaps change my opinion.......).
Star trek ** Star trek with a shallow make over. No real understanding of the characters as they tell you everything you have to know at the right time. And how dare they change history in the name of a cash in?
Street Kings ** Enjoyable but predictable. James Ellroy would have I suspect included more character and dialogue such as that went to make LA confidential so good.
This bittersweetlife.
The tournament ** Battle royal with adults. Not bad but again expected so much more. Features the charming Kelly Hu.
The wrestler **** well done but thoroughly depressing.
Zombieland **** Glorious. Shallow dialogue and characters. Great funny bits and thats before we get to BM.

Warrior & New Fright Night

[Dareos]

My wife is wanting to see Social Network, must admit I'm not fussed as i dont do the whole Facebook thing now, got shot of my account before Christmas and never looked back.

A REALLY great movie to add to your list is Unleashed with Jet Li (aka Danny the Dog), one of the best movies I have ever seen, it has so much depth, Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins fill their roles perfectly also.

Unleashed is awesome, but its set in Glasgow and not a single Scottish accent heard, and Morgan Freeman cant pronounce Glasgow.

The Prestige is another class film, soo many twists and turns, thoroughly fantastic

[Smudger]

If we're still keeping this going, I can recommend the following:

Au Revoir Les Enfants
Life of Brian
Trainspotting
Delicatessen

That's all I can think of at the mo.

Mr Nobody
The Man From Nowhere
Cache (Hidden) French movie
13

Several films I have watched over the last year, and would recommend

[Green Beret]

chicken run

[scratch]

I thought 13 and warrior were two good films.

[Domestic_Ginger]

Got my grubby fingers on another 3 for one offer so any suggestions welcome.

Cache (Hidden) French movie - Michael Haneke; makes very interesting movies. I'm still trying to figure most of them out.

[Adouken]

Memento is a pretty good film
District 9
and I hear twilight breaking dawn is amazing aha

[MSIC]

I know its been mentioned, but i watched The Prestige the other night. Really enjoyed it, and felt that the director & writer credited the audience with some intelligence.

[Domestic_Ginger]

Added warrior, 13 on reserve list.

Just remembered "the wanderers" (1979) is a really good film. the warriors is another film from the same time I haven't really looked into.

Memento is a pretty good film
District 9
and I hear twilight breaking dawn is amazing aha

Yeap, really like District 9. Interestingly there is a copyright protection on DVDs that shuffles the chapters enabling you to mementise any film you please. (invented a verb!)

The wife wants to watch twilight, she took me to see and earlier one at the cinema. Paying £20 for 90 minutes of torture is not a pleasurable experience.

I know its been mentioned, but i watched The Prestige the other night. Really enjoyed it, and felt that the director & writer credited the audience with some intelligence.

I think it is a good film; grand story, interesting backdrop and well casted.
