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?

The Matrix. Probably my favourite film, and the theme tune is played by Rage Against The Machine (Favourite Band!). You need to watch it more than once to understand it properly but it's a great film!

Yeah, but I thought that American History IX was better. ;o)

Very good movie, though I can't watch the kirb-biting bit.

Withnail & I

American History X (though I'm sure you've seen it)
Raging Bull

Leon
Donnie Darko
Out Cold (pretty cool teen type comedy)

One Hour Photo, starring Robin Williams.
It's very good, the acting is top class.

If you havent seen it then Reservoir dogs, otherwise American history X, both classics (ooo and Pulp Fiction) anyone getting an idea of the kind of films i like?

Dazed and Confused is a really good film. Not sure what it was like in the Box Office. It's on Sky sometimes now. Every week or so.

It's just another typical teen movie, but with no murders. It's a happy film.

Couldn't you have re-worded that. Tut tut, and you want to be a writer!

Some cool, fairly old but still availible (£2 for 3 nights) films are:-

(John Carpenters) Vampires
The Last Castle (If you haven't seen, go and rent it now, fast!)
Urban Legend (The first one, the sequel sucks)
Dog Soldiers (English movie starring little known actors. Amazing)

I am sure there are many more, cant see my video rack from where I am sitting though.

Angel Heart.

One of my all time favs
