Viewing Thread:
"Recommend me a Movie"

There once was a time when you could click on a few threads and read about films that you probably weren't aware of, and you'd then go rent them, and realise they were good.

Many a time have I rented a film suggested to me by other members of the forums, and more often than not, they've been worth seeing.

But now, those threads just don't seem to exist.

I don't get why, people still watch movies, don't they?

So come on folks, recommend a film you've seen lately. I'm not talking about those big blockbuster movies that everyone will know, but those hidden delights, which they only have one copy of in Blockbuster.

I haven't rented much lately, but thought that 'Frailty' was great for a bit of murder, and religious wacko stuff. Well, I liked it.

So, what would you recommend?

Saw that when it fist got a UK video rerelease, enjoyed it.

There was a bit of weird synth stuff going on at one point though, with the camera panning all around and over the top of a building, I was like "What the hell is this, an arcitecture documentary?"

Had a great moment in which a woman reveals a boob before she investigates a noise.

"What was that? Hmmm, if I'm going to get topped, I'd better get ma boobs out!"

Meet the Feebels

(I may have spelt Feebels wrong)

Fantastically funny movie that everyone should see. Although it's been deleted so it'll be hard to get your hands on it.

The beavis and Butthead movie made me laugh also.

really, is there a time warp between the server and your computer - is there anybody on here who hasn't seen the matrix or heard of rage?

A Knight's Tale


I'd never heard of it until I copied it off of someone's harddrive, I've watched it three times in four days.

Thought I would pop this back up as it could be useful in recommendings movies as the title says :)

Anyway I watched a film called Lost And Delirious today. A 2001 film staring Piper Perabo. Its set in a posh all-girls boarding school. A new girl is sent there and becomes a roommate to 2 other girls. The film is about love and as its an all-girls school its got lesbians in it. This is not a reason to watch it, but it will get all the blokes interested into seeing it. It is a real sweet film that has quite a powerful meaning to it as well as a powerful ending. If you get the chance to see it then do as it is a good film, that will appeal to men and women alike.

I didn't hear about it untill some of my friend got it on DVD.

Meet the Parents. I don't quite remember what sort of reviews it got when it came out at cinemas and on dvd, but it's a bloody funny film. As a fan of funny comedies of yesteryear, I've been disappointed with many over the last few years as the majority rely on gross-out humour or ar just aimed at morons who find the slightest things funny, but Meet the Parents even passed my stringent humour test.
Rober De Niro in his best comedy role since Midnight Run and Ben Stiller is great as the hapless Greg Focker.

Spirited Away. See my post a few posts below. Amazing animated film, forget Disney and the guff they churn out to sell merchandise, this is how it should be done.

Donnie Darko.
