A bit O/T what are your favourite films and any good new releases

For me, Trainspotting is a classic, i also watched 'Looking for Eric' recently and that was great.

District 9 is the best film ever. That and Young Guns 2.

"Withnail and i"....One very funny film!!!

Dr Strangelove

Step Brothers is funny.

Gladiator....

"Fooking Prawns" good film but nothing special though.


for me

Vanishing Point is an awesome film for me
or
anything with Holly Hunter, Grrrrrrrrrr

Saving Private Ryan.

Favaroute films off the top of my head :M.A.S.H, Catch 22, The Godfather trilogy, Alien, Jackie Brown, Deliverance, Control, This Sporting Life, Dog Day Afternoon.

In no particular order, and just off the top of my head:-
Schindlers List
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Gran Torino
Something About Mary
Strictly Ballroom
Goodfellas

Soldier Blue ...

So many quality films I could name, but going to have to narrow it down to one:

Cidade de Deus (City of God)

2001: A Space Odyssey.

Blew me away, that.

Paranormal Activity:

is by some distance the worst film I have ever seen

in fact the only activity I saw was people leaving the cinema half way through this pile of crap.


dont watch it

I loved it. Got it on blueray and watched it about 40 times. I just find it so good to watch, none of the boring sections most films have. The comedy value is just insane and so subtle at times, but it's the childish stuff that gets me going. Like when they knock on the aliens door and he answers it and says "No one is here" and closes the door





Beyond the humour and the superb action scenes it's also got a good morality to it, with the mirroring of apartheid and the message that we really shouldn't single out those who are different. Top stuff. I love Wikus' accent.

in no order but all classics

quadrophenia
scum
one flew over the cuckoos nest
lock stock
first blood
papillon

Home Alone
Cool Runnings
Anchorman
Shawshank Redemption
Gladiator
Castaway

..... a strange mix.

films ive enjoyed recently

the moon (excellent)
the hurt locker
inglorious basterds
district 9
zombieland
watchmen
the green zone

Sex lives of the potato men with Johnny Vegas & Mike Basset England manager with Ricky Tomlinson, both are hilarious!!!!

There was some Nazi stuff in there too, what with 'cleaning' out the ghettos. The missus didn't know what to make of it but stuck by it and enjoyed it at the end.

Goodfellas is almost perfect for me.

What is it that makes Goodfellas less than perfect?

My list....

Goodfellas
Casablanca
Pulp Fiction
Tokyo Story
Raging Bull
Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources
Cache aka Hidden
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Taxi Driver
Laura

I'd still be tempted to put 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' as my favourite film for lots of reasons.

Oh, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

THE GOONIES

any of the dirty harry films...thunderbolt and lightfoot...steptoe and son films...and any laurel and hardy films
