I’ve not seen Oldboy for a while good film.

Speaking of Korean, The good, The bad and The Strange is a good film. Odd but a good way to waste an hour or two.

Speaking of Danny Boyle, the amazing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951Trainspotting[/url] should be seen by everyone, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111149Shallow Grave[/url] is great and a little known work of his which is utterly charming and quite different called http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366777Millions[/url] is well worth a look too.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235796Ondine[/url] with Colin Farrell is a really nice piece of film making, worth checking out even if you don’t normally like Colin, and Phone Booth is quite cool too, especially if you don’t like Colin…he has a bad time in that one.

No where near enough Coen Brothers films being mentioned either, what’s wrong with the youth of today…I mean, seriously, superb film makers.

Check out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715The Big Lebowski[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100150Miller’s Crossing[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110074The Hudsucker Proxy[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190590O’ Brother Where Art Thou?[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282Fargo[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348No Country For Old Men[/url], http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101410Barton Fink[/url]….more or less anything with their name on is worth some time. I do utterly love John Turturro though, him and John Goodman are involved a lot with the Coen’s films, which is fine by me.

I think http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144Memento[/url] has been mentioned already but is worth mentioning again as it’s one of best films ever made imho, dat Chris Nolan is such a boss!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1250777Kick Ass[/url] totally surprised me with how good it was, well worth a look.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578Donnie Darko[/url] is a great, weird little film and Jake Gyllenhaal is brilliant in it playing a troubled teen alongside his rl sister Maggie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430Pan’s Labyrinth[/url], dark.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070917The Wicker Man[/url], (original only), is great.

All the classics like Godfather, Scarface, Pulp Dogs, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Clockwork Orange, Shawshank, Schindler’s List, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, Gladiator, Alien(s) etc should be watched for comparison value alone.

I wonder if anyone will actually watch any films recommended by anyone else or if this is all just a waste of a lunch time?

Ah well, go watch these films and be a richer person. Have fun and good luck.

I’d list pretty much all the Coen brothers films honestly, Fargo, True Grit, The Big Lebowski, No Country for Old Men, Miller’s Crossing. There’s a couple I didnt like quite so much I think Barton Fink was one I didnt like. Just despised the main character from the start and couldnt get into it. I love the music in O’ Brother Where Art Thou as well as it being a really well written and directed film.

Pan’s Labyrinth is an amazing film, one of my all time favourites there.

12 Angry Men – a good old film, Black and white film discussion of guilt for some kid.

Vertigo – from Hitchcock was good.

Das Boot – also good.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

whats next, George Washington Werewolf Slayer?

watched Changeling by Clint Eastwood yesterday and it was tremendous! seriously, it’s the best movie with Angelina Jolie i’ve seen so far and i doubt that there ever will be something better.

oh and by the way, it’s strange that nobody has mentioned What Dreams May Come. even though the rating is only 6.7 i’d still strongly recommend it.

noone Has said 4 Brothers or Running Scared?

I thought this topic was meant to be a “what you recently saw” thread? Oh well, movies are movies :P

Don’t really care for Colin Farrell but he starred in 2 really great movies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780536In Bruges[/url] and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0170691Tigerland[/url].

Yeah Coen brothers, especially when combined with Roger Deakins’ cinematography, makes for amazing cinema. It feels like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887883Burn After Reading[/url] (actually without Deakins) is generally regarded as one of the lowpoints on their cinematic track record, but I think it’s awesome :D
