"Recommend a film, go on"

Ok, based on films I like and think others might enjoy,I thought I'd recommend a few a why:

Sexy Beast - Because it's the only UK gangster flick that matters since The Long Good Friday

Withnail & I - It's one the best written comedies ever, and improves with repeated viewings.

Natural Born Killers - An art film disguised as a stupid Hollywood blockbuster.

The Princess Bride - Funny, witty, clever and nice.

Heathers - Nasty, funny, dark and gleefully black hearted

Pump Up The Volume - See above reasons

City of Lost Children - A magical, surreal, perfect sci-fi/comedy/romance/horror movie. In French, but don't let that be the reason you never see this.

Spinal Tap - Rock and Roll mockumentary so funny it hurts.

---

that's it for now, I must try to sleep

Seven Samurai - absolutely amazingly good film with a really cool small, japanese guy who runs around throwing swords at people and then getting another one to throw at someone else. Long at 3 hours but worth the time.

Big trouble in little china - Excellent, one of my favourites of all time.

Happy Gilmore- Adam Sandler one of the funniest films I have ever seen.

Ghostbusters, Great classic cinema, love it.

Dumb and Dumber- Funny, funny and more funnyness.

Big Lebowski- Great film.

Goodfellas- If you havn't seen it then you havn't lived.

Brotherhood of the wolf- Bit cheesy, subtitles and I love it.

I forgot about Trading Places, I love that film.

Cheers for reminding me Totoro

Trading Places.
THE best comedy film ever.They don't make 'em like that any more.
Every minute there's something funny.
Clarence Beaks is a classic baddie.
Eddie Murphy in his best role (along with his Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop).
If you've never seen it, go and buy it on video NOW.(Hopefully it'll be on dvd soon.)
I could watch it everyday.

I don't get why everyone goes on about the Cube so much. It was alright, but that's all. One of my faves is Metropolis. Not because it was in that top 100 - I saw it years ago when I was about 12 or 13 and I remember thinking "wow! What a brilliant view of the future". Spinal Tap is funny and Return of Spinal Tap is just as good if you ask me - "Eating cotton wool doesn't harm you".

It was a 3 video box set.

I'm not too sure if you can get it on video, cos my mate who also bought it, normally gets stuff on DVD, but got this on vid. This was a few months ago mind, so perhaps it's on DVD now.

I never even knew he was in Neighbours.


If I didn't know his name (which I do) then I would probably always call him 'Exeley from LA Confidential'.....



....but that's me.

Funny thing is, even though it was over a decade ago that he left Neighbours, Guy Pierce will ALWAYS be Mike from Neighbours.

My recommended film:

One Night At McCools.

I wish I had a chance to watch it again before I returned it. You start to think about whose version of events holds the most truth, you think about the way the characters see themselves as always being in the right, I could go on, but I'll finish with one word:

Excellent.
