    Is that it?

    There's an entire forum for listing your favourite film? Really?

    Oh okay, then. My favourite film is City of God, followed closely by Fight Club, The Matrix, Reservoir Dogs, Nikita, The Eye, Romeo & Juliet and a few others.

    A whole forum seems a little overkill, but who am I to question the omnipotence of the moderators...

    Fritz Lang, in my opinion, is one of the greatest directors ever. However, I find it a shame that not many people share my opinion, or even know who he is

    If you guys want to watch the finest German expressionist noir (I think its expressionist at least, though don't hold me to it ), give Fritz Lang a try if you haven't already.

    I'll give him a go sometime

    Good filmography, may be able to have them shown at school (sounds sad 'film society' - actually about five people who love films and just watch them each monday in one of our lecture theatres with a couple of members of staff who would probably kill themselves if a film told them to

    Anyone who can read subtitles without moaning, and can stand a little bit of extreme violence (and I do mean only a little - it's a proper film with a plot, not blood from start to finish) should look at Oldboy, a Korean film based on a Manga. It's directed by Chan-Wook Park.

    It centres on a orean man who is kidnapped without warning, and held prisoner for 15 years with no explanation. His wife is murdered and he gets blamed for it, then he is released. He is told to find out why he was imprisoned within one week.

    It an amazing film, brilliantly acted, shot and written, with a stunning score. I highly receommend it.

    What are you complaining about? This forums, as with all others, is what you make of it. Personally i think it's a good idea.

    I think that my original point was more to do with the limiting nature of the forum description. Just listing your favourite film seem rather a limiting topic for a whole forum....just being pedantic, but if it was 'Favourite movies & TV, recommendations, warnings, and all things filmtastic' it would seem to have a little more mass market appeal....

    That makes sense, doesn't it?
