Seen any good films you'd recommend lately? :D


I've bought alot of films recently that I'd never seen before.  The Machinist, Europa and Goodbye Lenin are probably my favourites so far.  Really enjoyed Memento as well.

Ooh! And Fargo and The Brotherhood of The Wolf :nod:

some cunt has my copy of the machinist.

amir did you buy it second hand off anyone??  :evil:

not seen europa but the machinist is superb, goodbye lenin is also very good.

not watched much lately, ive been a bit lazy. ive got a few dvds to watch but not got round to it.

crash was ok, better than i expected.
the godfather part ii was quality, just took me a little time to reflect on it.
hitchhikers guide was pretty decent.

watched barton fink in film a few weeks back, great film, thoroughly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

best film ive seen lately is a cock & bull story, starring steve coogan and rob brydon. it's a film about making a film, very good.

wanted to go and see glastonbury, romance and cigarettes and three burials this week but my mate's gone awol cos she's useless. shooting dogs is at the phoenix next week, definitely want to see that.

:--  :hide:

I'd quite like to read Tristam Shandy before watching A Cock And Bull & Story

Thought about buying that because it's Coen brother's film the same as Fargo, instead I opted for The Man Who Wasn't There which I've not watched yet.  

Cock & Bull Story sounds interesting.

Crash I've ummed and aaahed over more than once yet never bought, and I'd get Hitchhiker's Guide but Mos Def as Ford Prefect!!!

Thought Fargo was a bit wierd, enjoyable enough, but didn't realise there was such an undercurrent of stuff going on until I watched the extras.

Still haven't got round to watching Amelie yet either  :roll:

watch amelie with birdy, you can be a romantic for once in your life

i avoided hitchhikers for ages because i couldnt get my head around mos def being ford, but it didn't bother me really

I've got a lot of time for Mos Def personally. At least he isn't ,making film about gettin' rich and dyin' tryin' y'all he' me yo

i like his music but his acting is diabolical, just look at the remake of the italian job. he should have been strung up for that alone.

The TV show left an indelible mark on my brain I'm afraid, and I can't see past that.

I bought her a pre-match fryup in the Merlin, how much more romantic can a bloke get! :P

same here, i watched the film comparing every frame to the tv series.

but it passed the time.

I took the nipper to see Ice Age 2 on Monday, that was alright. Well, he enjoyed it and I laughed at the dung beetles before I fell asleep. Erm, that wasn't quite the kind of recommendation you were looking for was it? I'll get me coat ....

Did you ever watch Sweet Sixteen?

no. i thought we were going to watch it in film but we never did. i'd like to though, will buy it if i ever get money.

I've tried to watch it a few times now but always been in the wrong frame of mind, or got interupted.

Normally end up putting Ice Age 2 on.

watched the Pianist last weekend. awesome film.


bout the Secretary yesterday, i've heard its pretty good.


i need to watch anchorman again soon, my sister brought it back from aberystwyth a few weeks back, woop woop

secretary...yum.

You must all watch the ringer.

Get to see The Proposition if you can-brilliant film,with a score by Nick Cave to boot

I'll do that, adje.  When I saw the trailer I didn't think it looked great, then a friend of my who's opinion I respect said the same as you.


A History of Violence and Sin City came in the post today, and I'd pretty much forgotten I'd ordered them :smile1:

The Proposition is excellent. I'd recommend it too.

I might go and watch '16 Blocks' at the cinema on Saturday, it's got Brucey Willis in it and it doesnt look bad at all.
