One to Watch

[Dibbie]

This is the place to plug all those films that you love and you think other people should watch. All you need to do is name it and give a good reason to watch it - that way we can avoid having an "Innit fooking smart" thread about every movie that was ever made!

I'll start:

Movie: Lantana

Reason: Excellent plot and acting plus without being contrite all key players interact with one another at some point - brilliant.

[djnrrd]

Movie: Paperhouse

Reason: One of the finest and most unique fantasy/horror movies ever (Bit more fantasy than horror). Shows that britain can do what Japan has been doing of late. And that we were doing it 16 years ago.

[Father Mahoo hoo shaboo]

Movie: True Romance


Reason: One of the best movies with possibly the best cast ever (Christian Slater, Patricia Arquete, Denis Hoper, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Samuel J Jackson, Gary Oldman). Writen by Quentien Tarrentino, in fact his fist full script. Some of the best dialogue in any movie, coupled with a gripping plot, packed full of action. Widely acclaimed by many top critics as the best film ever. Worth watching just for the Hoper/Walken scene.

Word

[Rogue]

movie : Count of Monte Cristo

but whyyyy? : I thought this movie was very well done. If you like historical type adventures then you will probably like this film.

[piemanmoo]

movie: X-men 2: X-men united (X2)

Reason: I don't much care for comics or science fiction, but this movie blew me away. All the special effects, plus great plot, characters, dialouge, action makes it one awesome movie.

[Cheeky Prophet]

Movie: The Great Escape

Reason: Its a wonderful movie. Based on a true story, it shows what happens when you put the world's greatest escape artists in one POW camp. Steve McQueen plays the main character. There are some really classic scenes in it you'll never forget. Its dramatic and funny and captivating at the same time. One of those movies you can watch over and over, and want to watch again.

[Shave]

The Italian Job (the original version) - great heist film with good plot and 3 minis

Anti-Trust - clever plot with well thought out twists

[Dr S]

Movie: Leon

Reason: One of the greatest films ever made, supurb plot great action and it even has a soft side among the killings. Also one of the best endings to any film.

[BoxHead]

MOVIE: The Big Blue

REASON: Very good movie by director Luc Besson (Leon, Fifth Element), about an Italian and French freedivers going for the world record. Jean Reno's charactor is a laugh.

:weebl:

[ZekeyLizard]

Movie: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Why: Weirdest, most whimsical film I have ever seen. Good special effects and a plot right out of Jules Vern. And Robin William's head flies off.

[Mexican Pie]

Movie: Oceans Eleven

Why bob, why?: Comedy of a Casino heist with good reason. Classy comedy, actors and the way they pull it off is something to be admired.

[Twatybollocks]

MOVIE Time Bandits

WHY One of the strangest, yet greatest fantasy/comedies of all time. You've got midgets (dwarfs), Sean Connery and John Cleese (as Robin Hood) in a time travelling adventure involving myths and legends and the devil himself! The humour is very much influenced by Monty Python and Director Terry Gilliam is on top form.

Robin Hood (John Cleese) - "The poor are going to be absolutely thrilled. Have you met them at all?"


Randall - "Who?"


Robin Hood - "The poor."


Randall - "The poor?"


Robin Hood - "Oh, you must meet them. I just know you'll like them. Charming people. Of course, they haven't got two pennies to rub together, but then, that's because they're poor."

[Cherokee Red]

MOVIE : Monty python and the holy grail

REASON : It's monty python, does it need a reason?? oh ok.
Well i guess because it is comic genious. It was the best of all the python films and has the best quotes.

"there's too many good one's to post, and they take up too much space. so i'll refrain from posting any here :) "

[mr jones]

MOVIE donnie darko

REASON its an amazing, well thought out film that makes you think

[Space Prawn]

Twelve Monkeys.

Because it's like a French art film made big-budget Hollywood style without any of the stereotypes you'd associate with Hollywood. It's got a convoluted whodunnit time-travel plot, and Brad Pitt pulls off one of the best performances of his career as a twtichy mental patient with a wandering eye.

It's also got really surreal directing from Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame.

[Sloth]

Movie: Dr. Strangelove
Why?: Because it has one of the best cast of actors (Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Slim Pickins...), you will go "oh, so that is where The Simpsons got that from", and great dialog.

[Boyinabox]

Name: Apollo 13

Why bother? Because its a great film based on the real life events of that mission with a brilliant cast, amazing special effects, heart stopping suspense, and it has the original astronauts doing the voice overs at the end

[SaxAPPEAL]

film : blues brothers (original not 2000)

why: great music, great acting (well sorta), one of the original self-spoofing films, cameos from james brown, arethra franklin (and many more), hilarious, and one of the most blatent film mistakes in history (the car falling off the bridge bit).

[I'm Jim Too]

Movie: The Untouchables

Reasons: The Cops vs Mafia movie. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it'll make you scared of Sean Connery!
Discover for yourself why dinner time and baseball shouldn't mix!
Be amazed as Kevin Costner appears in a quality movie! (other than Bull Durham and JFK)
IMO everyone should see this film.

[Mexican Pie]

Movie: Fat Pizza

Why?: Ethnic Australian comedy about guys at a Pizza place. Low budget it may be, but it's the best comedy thing out of Australia since.... ever! It's sick mate, sick (subwoofa!)!

*Where's the chicks wheres the chicks wheres the chicks wheres the chicks?*

[Blue Wolf]

Film: Kickboxing Academy

Reason: One of the best Karate Kid imiatations I've seen in a long while. A great cast of fat kids with braces, who by the end of the movie, HAVE DEVELOPED AMAZING KICKBOXING SKILLS! It's pure excitement, with action, comedy, and romance. A pure thrill ride that deserves your respect.

[BigShimmeryWall]

Film: City of God

Reason: Possibly the best film I saw last year (well that and Pirates of the Caribbean :D)- refreshingly vibrant, deeply engrossing, incredibly well paced and shot and the cast is made up of real residents of a Brazillian favela who improvised about 70% of it giving it a gritty,witty but never amateur edge. Astonishing.

[Dr_nwa]

Film: Taxi
Why: French film, about taxis. It's not what you think...
Awsome soundtrack, great dialogue and idiotic but funny plot.

[darkling]

film: The Big Lebowski

reason: Its hilarious, well written and directed (by the coen brothers) Jeff Bridges and John Goodman in what i think are their best roles ever. Plus some surreal scenes involving bowling balls and flea from RHCP playing a nihilist.. need i say more?

[EasyTiger]

I second that..

Also

Movie: Gia

Reason: A story based on the diary and life of the US's first proper super model 'Gia Marie Carangi', played by Angelina Jolie. Tragic, and moving film, and for the guys 'a lesbian sex scene'.

Movie: Girl, Interrupted

Reason: Another Angelina Jolie movie, also based on true events of Susanna Cayson, played by Winona Ryder. Filmed from the inside of a mental institution in the 60s/70s, where Susanna ends up after taking a bottle of aspirin with a bottle of vodka. Very moving story, with fantastic acting all round.

[Dibbie]

Movie: The Right Stuff

Reason: If you even remotely care about the space race and the first men to venture beyond this world without dying then this is the movie for you.

[Boyinabox]

Movie: Airplane!

Why bother?:

Remeber those irratating disaster movies from the 70's where a plane has to land with no landing gears, engines, terrorist with bomb etc? Airplane! is the film for you then. Its a great spoof with a ridiculos sense of humor and great visual gags.

The plot: When the pilots become ill with food poisoning after eating the fish diner it is up to an ex vietnam pilot to pilot the plane back to the ground, the only problem? Hes afraid of flying now!

So true. t'is one of the greatest movies of all time

another great spoof:

Not Another Teen Movie

Reason: makes fun of every teen movies that's annoying

Plot. unattractive nerd girl gets asked to prom by coolest guy in school and magically becomes attractive + many more sub-plots

[Explosivo]

the second one is just as good if not better but the 1st one has the best line in the world


"surely you can't be serious!"

"I am serious and don't call me surely"

Movie: Matrix triology

Reason: If your stupid and find things hard to understand then this is the film for you it confused the shit out of me but my best mate (who has a habbit of walking into lamposts) understood it perfectly.

NO


The first one was amazing and revolutionary in terms of special effects and plot.

The second one passed bareley as okay due to a great preformence by Hugo Weaving as agent Smith (+ the agent smith fight scene and road chase)

The third one was downright awful

But its all opinion i suppose

[prodigy69]

Movie: La Haine

Reason: even though it's a french speaking film w/subtitles, it is so easy to get into and involved in the characters lifes.

Plot: Injured by a police inspector during an interrogatory, Abdel is at hospital almost dead.
In the suburbs where he lives, some riots happened during the night, and one policeman loses his gun.
One of Abdel's friend, Vinz, finds it. Vinz and his two pals, Said' and Hubert, have nothing to do so they try to kill time.
Vinz swears that if Abdel dies, he will shoot a policeman...

[Solid Snake]

Movie All of the The Lord Of The Rings movies

Reanson It has the best CGI character ever created (Gollum) and brilliant battle scenes, a great plot (Tolkien takes credit for) and fantastic actors!

Plot Frodo Baggins, a hobbit from the Shire, inherrits the One Ring from his uncle, Bilbo Baggins. Frodo discovers from Gandalf the Grey that it is the One Ring, and he must travel with it to Rivendell, home of the dark Elves and Elrond. But, at the tower of Amon-Sul, Frodo was stabbed by the Witch King of Angmar who was the Lord Of The Nazgul, Sauron's prime servant. Sauron, with out his Ring, is nearly powerless, he takes the form of a lidless eye, set upon his dark tower, Barad-Dur, in Mordor. Frodo then accpets the Quest Of Mount Doom at the council of Elrond at Rivendell, and travels with Samwise Gamgee (His friend), Merriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took (Two of his cousins, Boromir of Gondor (Son of the Steward), Aragorn II (A ranger and friend of Gandalf and Elrond), Legolas (An Elf), Gimli (a Dwarf) and Gandalf (A wizard, Maiar). Frodo and Sam get seperted from the rest at Amon-Hen and go to Mordor alone, Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn track down Merry and Pippin who were captured by Uruk-Hai. Frodo and Sam finally destroy the Ring and Sauron, Aragorn becomes King Of Gondor, Merry and Pippin become in charge of the Shire, Frodo goes into the west with Gandalf and the Elves, Legolas and Gimli go home and Sam inherrits Bag End (Frodo's House/Hole) from Frodo.

[KualaLumpur1997]

Film: Clockwise (1985)
Reason: John Cleese, one of the funniest men alive, shows what he can do without effing and blinding his head off. At times this film drags, but you've gotta love it because of the way he apparently rather innocently commits shit loads of crimes just to arrive on time. And of course, the car-kicking bit.

[lellykelly]

Film: Dirty dancing
Reason: Dirty dancing is such a girly film. i love it. Its just one of those films i loved to watch as a girl (also grease), and of course very strangely i had a thing for Patrick swasey. he was rather nice. I want to do the lift uin that dress. My dad used to do it with me when i was little. Until i got to heavy and hurt his back a lot.

[sack the chimp]

Film: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Reason: Jack Nicholson as a criminal who pretends to be insane to move to an asylum rather than a prison. Tries to breathe some life into the patients, but faces stiff opposition from the nurses.

Nicholson is on excellent form, and you've gotta love the big indian chief.

Also anything by the Cohen brothers (The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?). Great characters, great stories and a great sense of style.

[Dibbie]

Let's not worry about leaving a plot outline k. The fact that you want people to watch the movie is enough without telling everyone what it is about.

The format is:

Movie:

Reason:

That is all

[I'm Jim Too]

Movie: Run Lola Run

Reasons: Funny, original, woman running, german, alternate universes.

[sack the chimp]

is that the one they based an episode of the simpsons on (with the bart's day, lisa's day and homer's day, and the linguarobot)?

[Burli]

But its all opinion i suppose

Must be because all of the matrix films are incredible.

Was going to say Run Lola Run but beat me to it, last time I checked It wasnt made from s impsons episode.

Ok let me think, ARGGH blues brothers taken too

FILM: Swept Away

REASON: For any anime fans (or not) this is a truly magical film, with animation beyond any other in pure amazement and style. An incredible film.

[Fishersmith]

I emphatically third Run Lola Run. The Simpsons episode came second.

Film: Intacto

Reason: A marvelously strange and beautiful Spanish film that no one has ever heard of.

Can we do two?

Film: Northfork

Reason: An astoundingly strange and beautiful film made by two guys from Montana that no one has ever heard of.

[Monkeyboy]

Film: Memento

Reason: Its just great...confusing as hell but utterly compelling

[hoopsa 2]

Movie - Jet li's Defender

Reason - It has great expectations and has a lot of stuff from a bit like the matrix. (a little bit). The most best clip is where the defender slips on the skate board and takes out the badies. Otherwise the bit with the gas in the house ( clasic)

[sack the chimp]

Anyone who likes kung fu, heres a few classics:

Film: Rumble in the bronx

Reason: Some absolutely classic jackie chan fight scenes, particularly the one in the bar, he's goin in and out of fridges, stuff with bottles, hard to explain but i'll never get tired of watching that scene.

Film: Fist of legend

Reason: Jet li before he got to hollywood famous, no stupid special effects, just great fight scenes. He's fighting the japanese (i think its ww2), and they dress/act like nazis, which is always a bonus. Arguable the best kung fu film ever made

Film: Drunken master

Reason: Its pretty dodgy in places, but if you love thew stupid voiceovers and comedy in old kung fu films, this is a winner. Plus jackie chans drunken fighting style is just so damn cool.

[Dibbie]

Movie: A Mighty Wind

Reason: From the creators of Spinal Tap (Nuff said). Actually it is a bit more mature than Spinal Tap and probably not as laugh-out-loud funny but it has a load of subtle and hilarious humour in it and Harry Shearer (Derek Smalls/Principal Skinner etc) wearing the most outrageous beard since the_colonel dyed his for Paddy's Day.

Others by the same team and well worth looking out for:

Best in Show
Waiting For Guffman

[sheep go moo]

there are so many decent movies but a must have classic would be die hard

[Gin&Tonic]

The Langoliers, a Stephen King book-turned-into-film. No one particularly famous in it, just a really neat storyline.

Also: Planes, Trains And Automobiles - p*ss funny Steve Martin and John Candy film (a million times better than Uncle Buck!)

And: The Hand That Rocks the Cradle/Single White Female - two great, creepy films, which I've put together 'cos you can buy them both on one VHS from Morrisons or Woolworth's for only £4.99. So now there's no excuse:p :D

[Scribbly]

I 'watched' that film a few weeks ago. Me and a buddy just watched some movie and were pretty drunk and figured "a tarantino movie? yeah let's watch! wooh!".. I think we watched aprox. 10 minutes...

I oughta see that movie sometimes...

[sidneylopsides]

Movie: Bellville Rendevouz

Reason: very well made french animated film, no dialogue, the story is told through song and pictures.

Movie: Barton Fink

Reason: Very odd film by the Cohen Brothers, hard to come by now. One of those films you have to watch 3 or 4 times then can't get it out of your head for months, and you still can't work it out. John Tuturro, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi.

Movie: Kung Pow

Reason: Supremely daft kind of remake martial arts comedy. The dubbing in particular is impressive....

Leon, Taxi, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Holy Grail and Memento should be on everyones list!

[Lovely_Donkeh]

Movie: The Rock


Reason: Must be one of the greatest action movies EVER. Almost as good as Con Air.

Movie: Con Air

Reason: Genius movie, great acting and loads of action:D

[Rogue]

movie: OVerboard (w. kurt russel and goldie hawn)

reason: Very cute romantic comedy.

[Smartie Popper!]

Movie: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Reason: Let me start by saying that if you missed this film yesterday and you haven't seen it beofre that you have to rush out to the video shop and get it NOW or you'll smell and no-one will like you or ever talk to you again.

Anyway, This Movie is great for two reasons.

1. It's without a doubt one of the best films of the past ten year, If not the best. The perfect cast, beautifully thoughtout story lines and an incredible setting make this an incredible movie, but the fight scene's make it an instant classic. Seriously, They're a movie on their own.The guy who choreographed the Matrix did the honours for CTHD and he completely surpassed himself, I've never seen a film so magnificently choreographed. The ending is gorgeous, everything about it is gorgeous. Exquisite. Truly a work of art.

2. OMFG!!1 THEY CAN FLLLY!!111ONEONE!

[XxLauraAnnxX]

Dangerous Beauty With Rufus Sewell
Kick ass friggin movie

[Razor Keen]

MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN
because michael palin with a speech impediment saying "biggus dickus" at a laughing crowd of soldiers is ultimately the funniest thing in the world.

and THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
because anthony hopkins is brilliance itself, and moths are suave.

[Snoon]

Ghostworld because its basically the film of my favourite comic book.
Donny Darko because it's so groovaliscious and weird.
Fight Club, doesn't even need a reason it's so great.

[Rogue]

Movie: contact

Reason: This is the perfect movie dramatization of Carl Sagan's novel 'contact' . It is a very smart, intelligent movie and gets you thinking about the universe (and the possiblitiy of other life in it) in a hopeful way.

[djkt007]

Movie: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Why: A superb British comedy full of dark humor, guns, guys and a great plot! somewhat cynical, but the coencidentiality of all the characters movements just makes it more amusing.

[Dingbat]

Film: A Life Less Ordinary

Reason: A brilliant film, with my countryman Ewan McGregor and the very lovely Cameron Diaz in it, right up until the fucking weird ending. Get past that though and it's great.

[streety]

Just watched it. It's one of the best films that I have seen. I am gonna go out and buy it now. I am not usually into subtitled films but this is definately one to watch.

[Deathdevil]

Movie: identity

Why: t's just your custom thriller, but this time it has a nice plot (very rare for thrillers...) and you don't get bored watching it...

Movie: das experiment

Why: psychological jokes turning into brain-cracking wars and at the end even driving people so mad they kill and rape...

Movie: A time to kill

Why: the book was nice, but this time i like the book better, it's about white rascists in America who rape a young black girl. Her dad knows those bastards might get free without punishment so he decides to shoot them down. And then you have a white lawyer trying to get the black man out of jail...

the ending speech is lovely and Kevin Spacey and Sandra Bullock are great!

Movie:American beauty

Why:I don't know why...i just think it's one of the best movies i ever saw!

[sack the chimp]

saw that at christmas, excellent film. Qaulity animation, and the way they tell the story so easily with no dialogue has to be seen to be believed.

I have yet to see barton fink, but the cohen brothers are superb, as is steve buscemi

[Dion]

Is Belville Rendevous the same film as the Triplets of Belville? I'm assuming that the latter is the North American name for the former until anyone informs me that this is not the case.

Film: Wings of Desire

Reason: Fantastic film by cult director Wim Wenders. Absolutely wonderful speculation on why Immortality might not be so fantastic, and an affirmation of the beauty of humanity. It tends to top the list of pretentious art-house films that college students talk about while drinking strong coffee and using words like "ergo". If this is your bag, definitely watch, if not, watch anyway.

Film: Naked

Reason: Another pretentious cult film, this time by Mike Leigh. Most of the film is improvised by the actors. Leigh would say "X is your motivation, X has to happen, and try to work X into it" and the actors would go from there. It's absolutely amazing, and if you're into existentialism, it's a must-see.

I'd imagine so. In fact, yes it must be.

[EMiNoiR]

- The Pianist
- Donnie Darko
- Almost Famous
- Fight Club
- Edward Scissorhands
- The Crow
- The Animatrix
- Cruel Intentions


REASONS: pretty much all of them are movies that'll make you think. Mostly about society and yourself, and the world around you. Some moreso than others.

[Space Prawn]

Belladonna is pretty stupid. It's just big campy soft-porn trippy sixties fluff that you watch when you've passed the dutchie left-hand side and you want somethign ridiculous to chill out to.

[Amayirot Akago]

Hudson Hawk

Why?

Cuz it's got Bruce Willis and absurd humor.

Little Nicky

Why?

Same reason, except it's got Adam Sandler. Still very funny.

Army of Darkness

Why?

If you love humor, go see it. NOW. And Bruce Campbell is the coolest action hero since Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[i-am-the-eggman]

ooo a definite + for you my friend for mentioning "army of darkness"

the previous two evil dead were mainly funny because of the hammy acting and the obviously fake makeup, whereas the humour in army of darkness really comes into its own.

Go and see:

Shaun of the dead - the "what would happen if resident evil (biohazard) actually happened to my town?" if you liked spaced, this bumps its importance up even more.

Any monty python movie - the term "legends" just doesnt qwuite do them justice, eh bwian?

Signs - my mate who doesnt get scared that easy had to sleep with the light on and had to borrow my water pistol - i nearly wet myself - worth going just to see your mates that scared
:p

[Littleshore]

I quite fancy a movie called "Thursday" by Skip Woods...

Watch it if you get your hands on it...

Oh, and PM me if you got it on DVD or something..

[Arsonak]

Posted by i-am-the-eggman
Signs - my mate who doesnt get scared that easy had to sleep with the light on and had to borrow my water pistol - i nearly wet myself - worth going just to see your mates that scared

...The thing with the water is there's water in the atmosphear, so if the aliens weakness was water they would be long dead before they could get to your mate. And if their weakness was water, wouldn't they go to a planet without water? I havn't seen the movie, so I don't know anything else about it...

Movie - Requiem for a Dream
Why? This has it all. Great acting and directing, a good soundtrack that fits the film, and really cool looking camera effects. What sets this movie apart from others is that it follows 4 main characters, and does it right. At the end of the film, you feel as if you know the characters.
Go see it, now!

[Wolverine]

movie: Empire Records.
reason: It is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. i only know a few other people who have seen it. If you love rock and everything about rock, you'll love this movie. Actors: Anthony LaPaglia, Maxwell Caulfield, Debi Mazar, Rory Cochrane, Renee Zellwegger, Liv Tyler (another reason to watch), and Coyote Shivers (my favorite musician) Its about a day in the life of record store clerks, thats it, no real plot line at all.

[shizzlette]

movie : from hell

me after watching this movie: :shock:

why did I watch this movie: Johnny depp did a really good job of acting in this movie. IF he had not been in this movie the whole thing would have not been worth watching. He looked really good in those period costumes....ok i sound shallow now.

[Cheeky Prophet]

Movie: Thirteen
Reason: This movie was cowritten by the girl who's life it is about. She plays her friend in the movie. Basically its how a normal 13 year old turns to drugs and sex and stuff like that. The movie really gets you emotionally involved. Fantastic film.

Movie: The Great Dictator
Reason: Charlie Chaplin made this film in 1940 before America entered the war. 'Twas a very daring thing to do, but was supported by Roosevelt. Its basically a spoof on Hitler: "Heil Hinkle!" Charlie even dances with a balloon globe. When some nazi soldiers saw it back in the war they opened fire on the screen. Fantastic film.

[Smiert Spionem]

FILM
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

REASON
GROOVY BABY YEAH! But seriously, fantastic spoof of james bond and the 60's in general. Overshadowed by inferior sequels but by far one of the smartest and funny films i've ever seen.

FAVE QUOTE
"That makes me angry, and when Dr. Evil gets angry Mr. bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE!"

[ComradeRed]

Movie: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Reason: It was low budget but that didn't stop it from being a good movie, I think it made it better.


Movie: Ocean's 11

Reason: Pure genius how they thought of how to rob the bank. Must of took them alot of time to think of that script.


Movie The Italian Job

Reason: Another good movie about a crime that involves a group with alot of intelligence.

[Mexican Pie]

John Q

Reason- it's just too hard to explain. It's one of those movies which makes you really emotional watching all of it. A father will sacrifice himself for his son to live on... a truly fantastic film.

[flan bandit]

ICHI THE KILLLER, taken from a manga comic with the same name and rated one of the most controversial and gruesome films of all time (if you have watched it you would now why). Now one of my favourite films, a must see.

I'm clearly a wanker who doesn't think before posting

[GorillaBearBear]

That pic is a) Not work safe and b) Fucking huge.

you should a)link to pics like that and b)resize them.
Have a nice day.

[Kakihara]

Yeah, but ichi the killer IS the best movie ever made. it has a man cutting off his own toungue!!!

What else do you need?

[katie]

Rain Man (1988) dustin hoffman; tom cruise

This is a really good movie about the relationship between an autistic man played by hoffman and his brother played by cruise.

Hoffman is weird but lovable in this movie. It is just an all around interesting film.

Yes, go see Shaun of the Dead, it is fantastic. If you like the good british comedy, you will love this. Most of the actors are from your favorite programs :D
Black Books, Spaced, The League of Gentlemen, The Office, Little Britain....

[Spacemonkey]

The Day After Tomorrow - yes I know the dialogue is cheesy, but the special effects are worth it - and the fact that it stars Jake Gylenhall (or howver you spell it) is always a plus!!:D

[pure canadian]

JOHNNY ENGLISH

haha....Rowan Atkinson....lol
Mr bean is hilarious...
funny movie w/ ok cast, but its ridiculously funny how he screws up so much! worth 10 bucks...

[sack the chimp]

Film: Withnail and I

Reason: That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. 2 complete alcholic spanners living in London in the late 60s go for a short holiday in the country. To be honest, I didn't find the holiday bit that funny, but the start and end when they're in their flat in London are just priceless. I would try and explain, but you really have to see it to get it. All should watch.

edit: No, I've never played that drinking game, although I have heard of it. To be honest, I was surpised at how few drinks they actually have. For a real drinking gamne, see the insanity of alchohol thread, should be one or 2 pages from the back.

[Girly]

Oh Brother where Art Thou

Now I'm not a Goerge Clooney fan.. but this was Coen Brothers (Fargo, Big Lebrowski, Hudsucker Proxy) at their very funniest

[Pierate]

Monsters inc.

Reason: It's soooo funny! :D

[Scribbly]

I just saw (is that a word?) this one:

Cinema Paradiso

Lovely Italian movie. Great acting, great story.. the whole movie made me really want to go to Italy (it's a good thing I'm going in about a week =)

It's ace, you should all watch it.

[Boyinabox]

Alien- Showing its age now but still some of the scariest moments in cinema are in this film, and this is probably Sigourney Weaver at her best.

[Oli]

Garfield

This little Character that we all know of, has now come to the screen, and with a good entrance at that! The film follow's a short story between Garfield And a Dog And a small love story between The Owner Of Garfield and the Vet.


Reason

A sweet little story of freindship and humor always goes well together, and work's well with this film, although it is slightly corney at some point's, i'll give a 8/10 ........+ The Animation is ace!

[Bisyss]

And a small love story between The Owner Of Garfield and the Vet.

Garfield's owner is called Jon, by the way. At least in the comics, they may have changed it for the movie, I don't know.

Movie: Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Reason: A great parody of a well-known character. If you've ever wanted to know where the Robin Hood in Shrek came from, look no further!

[Herby]

Hi all
Movie: Donny Darko
Reason: tis sheer class. If you've seen the film once, watch it twice more, you may think you understood it the first time, you didn't :) the film is so far outsid e the box it's in a universe without boxes. Infact where Donnie Darko is, is a place where boxes aren't even a concept. Seriously though, probably one of the best, deepest most broad films i have ever seen

Butterfly Effect
Reason: a completely different spin on an old idea 'what if you could change the past' looks at repercussions of actions in an extremely surreal way. Very cool. Watch it.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Reason: Jim Carrey but a totally different style of film for him, funny, sensitive, an excellent film. This film is rather surreal as well actually, guess i'm just wierd for surreal stuff lol :). But definately one to watch, I'm not really into romanticky stuff but this is a really cool film. worth a look

[gatochy]

Movie: The Cell
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00003CXKM/qid=1092004080/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-8666923-8436852?v=glance&s=dvd

Reason: Because it's the sort of movie I imagine I would make if I had the talent and the chance to.

It takes place in a future where you can go into another person's mind and interact with them in their dreams. So Jennifer Lopez, here seen before she decided to become known for her arse instead of trying to make it on her talent, plays a therapist that goes into the mind of a schizophrenic killer, to try and save the life of one of his victims.

The killer hates and fears women's sexuality and one might say that so does the the movie itself. Women's sexuality is portrayed in a pretty reactionary way. Jennifer is the movie's heroine while she's maternal and asexual. There's even a scene where she appears like a Madonna (as in the mother of Christ, not as in Madonna the singer.) When she does appear in an overtly, though tasteful, sexual way, she is in the momentary grasp of the villain, and therefore momentarily bad. Maternal = good. Sexual = bad.

I find the ending very moving, when she realizes that in order to save the only part of the killer's mind that is still good, she has to kill it, instead of killing the bad part. When she kills it, that person dies. The way I interpret it the movie is saying that our true character is always the best part about us, not the worst. So although it's sad, it's really hopeful at the same time.

The movie is a great thriller and like a moving CGI painting. It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, it deserves to become a classic.

[Noo_Noo]

Film: 28 Days Later

Reason: Finally! a British film that isn't four weddings and a funeral!
Seriously though, this film is set in a post-plague Britain that feels dark and empty (apart from the zombies) it also has great scenes of suspense and horror, vivid, believeable characters, and a thouroghly ace plot. go get it.

[Leonidas]

Film: Swingers

Reason: Women always complain that they don't and can't understand men. Ladies, watch this movie and you'll get it. It's also hilarious in parts too.

[Broche]

The best film I've ever seen is "Human Traffic"
The reason is that it's a film I can relate to(not completley,the main character... :p ,well,watch the film and see)and it kinda sums up my summer holidays.

[fythbro]

film: dodgeball

reason: funniest f*****g film i have ever seen.
'im goin to train you up!' the team look at the coach apprehensivly.
'thats what this sack of wrenches is for. if you can dodge wrenches, you can dodge balls.' the coach throws a wrench at the nearest person. it hits him in the forehead, with hilarious consequences.

[foxy]

Film: Hero

Reason: It was an amazing film not at all what I was expecting. It is quiite beautiful and develops the story in a manner that makes you think. This film isn't all death to ninjas and huge sword fights. There are definite story-lines and plot twists which engage the movie goer. Also the use of colour in the film is astonishing, think of a fauvist painting and a film combined. Beautiful and well made film. Even if Jet Li can't act, he doesn't really have to. :p

[yeoldemann]

The Village

Because it's got one of the biggest twists in the movie that I've ever seen!

[Psychokilla]

Movie = Fight Club
Reason = Probably the last good movie Brad Pitt will ever make, Edward norton (another actor who made dross since) also the feel of the film is dark, edgy and atmospheric, and not forgettting original thats VERY unusual these days.










And not forgetting Bob's bitch tits :)

[allfalldown]

Film: High Fidelity

Reason: Sooo funny. Jack Black is a legend. Does anyone else think he looks like a pie in human form?


Film: The Negotiator

Reason: Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey are in it, and it's got a plot that keeps you guessing.


Film: Swordfish

Reason: One of the best opening sequences I've ever seen. And John Travolta doing his thing as a bad guy is always good (see also: Broken Arrow).


Film: Romeo and Juliet (the modern one, by Baz Luhrmann)

Reason: Great adaptation of a classic.


And now for one I wouldn't normally like:

Film: Jack and Sarah

Reason: Yes, it's a romantic comedy, but every so often there's one I like. Stars Richard E. Grant as a soon-to-be father, then his wife dies in childbirth (not a spoiler, it's the premise of the film). He has to raise the baby by himself, and he's totally clueless. He gets help from his in-laws and parents, an American nanny (Samantha Mathis), and a tramp (Ian McKellen). It's funny and emotional, go see it.


Edit- Almost forgot:

Film: Timecode

Reason: It's divided into four screens, each of which follows a certain character or two, and was shot in one continuous 90-minute take. No cuts at all. The plot is kinda average, but I like it for the way it was made.

[Zweee]

Film: Hero

Reason: It was an amazing film not at all what I was expecting. It is quiite beautiful and develops the story in a manner that makes you think. This film isn't all death to ninjas and huge sword fights. There are definite story-lines and plot twists which engage the movie goer. Also the use of colour in the film is astonishing, think of a fauvist painting and a film combined. Beautiful and well made film. Even if Jet Li can't act, he doesn't really have to. :p

Seconded, go see this film. Its amazing. If you liked crounching tiger, you should love this. There arent quite as many fight scenes.. but it is beautifully made, some of the fights are just stunning. The fight on water is mind blowing. Its a story about ancient china in case you didnt know, with a rather tragic love story underlying it. A film full of love death and beautiful imagery it is a must see. So go now, go now and see!

[PJ]

Film: the runaway jury.

Reason: if you like being confuzzled, or you like being a detective then watch this.

[jonffm]

Film: Gladiator

Reason: Because it's one of the best films ever made IMO, and it's on channel 4 tonight at 9pm :D

[Cheeky Prophet]

Film: Operation Petticoat

Reason: Cary Grant and a pink submarine. You really can't get much better than that. It's pretty much the story of a submarine, the men on it, women coming on it (oh no) and its uncertain journey to get where it's going. Very good movie.

[GorillaBearBear]

Movie = Fight Club
Reason = Probably the last good movie Brad Pitt will ever make, Edward norton (another actor who made dross since) also the feel of the film is dark, edgy and atmospheric, and not forgettting original thats VERY unusual these days.

Can you really say a film that is taken virtually word for word from a book is original?

Even if it is a great film

[allfalldown]

Film: A Knight's Tale

Reason: It's got it all. Well, most of it. Humour, romance, rivalry, disguise, kings, princes, princesses, Queen music, good action scenes, and a secondary character who steals the show.

[paj-er]

The Corporation (http://www.thecorporation.com/)-It's a documentary on what corporations have been doing wrong and simmilar. It's been out in the US and Canada since Janurary, but it's only just coming out now in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. I saw it on Saturday- it's a really interesting film. If you're interested in this kind of stuff you really should see it. There's a list of where it's playing in the UK here (http://www.thecorporation.com/uk/)

[Sloth]

Movie: Team America: World Police
Why?: There is something about a movie that get Roger Ebert all huffy and critical towards Parker & Stone... not the movie itself... and does it with puppets. It not ground breaking, but when your a guy like me... who likes things that pisses people off... then this movie is for you.

Movies: Naked Lunch & Videodrome
Why?: These are two movies from director David Cronenberg. Unique, creative, and very distrubing. I almost guarantee that you have never seen any movie like them.

[foxy]

The Incredibles

Its a fantastic film, really quite funny and witty. Cute storyline explored with nice characters. It doesn't require much thought so it helps a shattered student mind. If you need a break from war, elections and the hum drum of school and everything its juts a nice escape.

[Sloth]

Sideways

starring Paul Giamatti... directed & adapted by Alexander Payne...

I rather not tell you what its about, I went to it blindly and it made it a nice suprise.

Lots of wine drinking...

[1.5_pie]

The Butterfly Effect

Reason: Incredibly sad (if you've watched the version with the sad ending), this movie is about a young boy growing up with "flashes", where he's somehwere one second and then somewhere else the next, and he doesn't know how he got there. When the boy grows up (Ashton Kutcher), he finds out he can go back in time to the parts of his childhood that he missed, changing his life and the others around him for the better... or for the much, much worse.

[allfalldown]

The Whole Nine Yards

Reason- Bruce Willis + Matthew Perry = comedy excellence. It's just so damn funny. The only thing I have against this film is that Perry plays basically the same character as Chandler (from Friends), except he's less cheerful. Still bloody funny though.

[Nth Turtle]

Movie: American Yakuza

Reason: Viggo 'LOTR' Mortenson before he got famous in a Yakuza gangster film that went straight to video in the US. My heart was in my throat at the end.

[GorillaBearBear]

Just thought I'd give a shout out to American History X. class film, touching, violent, shocking, brilliant script and excellent actors.

[Al2]

I just saw (is that a word?) ...
:shock: are you taking the piss?

Anywho. I reccommend you all see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It's wonderfully cheesy, corny dialect, and it's all in black and white!

It's set in the future from the POV of the twenties; so, it's set in the forties, but there are planes and flying aircraft carriers and robots and inventions and wa'huig. And everything in the movie that isn't an actor or a prop being interacted with by an actor is computer-generated!

[purplegirly]

Film - Human Traffic

Reason - Anyone who is or has been part of the chemical generation will love this film.. hilarious and so true!! Best watched when you've staggered home and danced around the living room till you can't anymore.. usually around 5am in our household..and you decend to drunken giggling cuddles on the sofa.... you know what i mean..yeh..I knew you wouldn't let me down! Nice one Bruvva...

[patch]

Film- taxi(the original Luc Besson film, not the piss remake)
Generally the taxi trilogy is very good
intermission- cause it's funny
i said nice bruv

[patch]

oh, having skimmed through, no the triplettes de belleville, and belleville rendezvous are not the same film.
And the following because at the time they were funny, and i suppose underground
Mallrats
Chasing amy
Clerks
Oh, and somebody has to have mentioned dazed and confused already

[sidneylopsides]

Good films there, I liked Chasing Amy.
The Bellevilles, IMDB says they are the same film :)

[Cheeky Prophet]

Movie: Phantom of the Opera

Reason: If you liked Moulin Rouge, Chicago, other musical-type films of the sort, then you'll probably like Phantom. If you don't see it for anything else, see it for the music. It's Andrew Lloyd Webber! Some of the best music in a movie that I've ever heard. The singing is fantastic too. Tis not the best musical movie ever made, and I'm sure it would probably be better seeing it on the stage, but it is definately worth watching at least once.

[patch]

they arent really, i checked imdb too, but i remember from last year when i lived in bordeaux, that they arent

[Lucifers Beard]

Film - Saw

Reason - It's a very clever, disturbing movie, in a silence of the lambs / Se7en kinda way, about a serial killer police call the Jigsaw man, I won't tell you any more about the movie but if you enjoyed SOTL, and 7 then you will like this alot, it has one of the most unexpected twists I've seen in a while.
Stars Danny Glover, Leigh Whannell and Cary Elwes.

I don't know if it's out on DVD in the UK or if its been on the cinema because I never noticed it being advertised, the only reason I watched it is because a friend of mine "aquired" a copy from somewhere.

Anyway 9/10 for this imo (Edit, after watching this a second time I am giving it a revised 7/10 because the acting is a bit shitty in places)

[EasyTiger]

Film - Requiem for a Dream

Reason - It's an 18 and for a good reason. The film is absolutely astounding, and i've never been so affected by one before as I have by this. It's a tragic tale of 4 people and their drug addictions from Coney Island, US. The movie spirals through their lives and trips and ends tragically, which makes your heart bleed. Incredible filming, story and fabulous acting performance by Ellen Burstyn makes this a must see but not for the faint hearted.

P.S Not to mention a fabulous soundtrack, especially the haunting strings of the Kronos Quartet.

[Nth Turtle]

Just saw this tonight. Went to see it for 2 reasons:

1. It's got Cole Hauser, I've been a fan of his since Higher Learning.
2. It's not 'Assault on Precinct 13' a film that didn't need to be updated.


Simple plot outline, minimal spoilers, Cole plays upcoming action star 'Bo Laramie' who has just discovered why the paparazzi have a bad name. A minor feud between Cole and the main paparazzi guy, played by Tom Sizemore, escalates with grave consequences.

I really enjoyed this film, don't expect a complicated story, but it flows nicely and Cole really plays his first big lead well.

Turtle's quick-cap review:

Two t'umbs up! :D

[Piedude-KT]

FILM
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

REASON
GROOVY BABY YEAH! But seriously, fantastic spoof of james bond and the 60's in general. Overshadowed by inferior sequels but by far one of the smartest and funny films i've ever seen.

FAVE QUOTE
"That makes me angry, and when Dr. Evil gets angry Mr. bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE!"

I totally agree! A fantastic film.

Film: Star war- A new hope

Why?

The film that started it all! The special effects weren't ace, but the plot was great, and they didn't NEEDspecial fx.

[austin]

I love Austin Powers the movie, but the ammount of times i have been called Austin Powers... at first it was funny but now it just hurts :(

[Dirt_Monkey]

Movie Underworld

Reason My most favourite action film about an epic war between vampires and werewolves. very gothic in places which is cool, fast paced, bit of controversial romance. its great.

[GaffaQueen]

PULP FICTION

I might just be repeating someone (haven't read through all the posts), but this is, in my opinion, one of the best films ever made. Quentin Tarantino really nailed it on this one.

Kill Bill, The Lord of the Rings, Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean are great movies too. Very different, but still great ^^

[Thomp]

Quadrophenia, Clockwork Orange and Taxi Driver.

Yes, they're all 18s, but all class films, especially Quadrophenia.

[hamsternator]

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

If you haven't seen this, your life is incomplete.

Luke, I am your father.....

[™]

Movie:Frequency

Why?: cos the ham radio that can speak through time is cool and the plot is well thought out

[Greg]

Bump.

Movie:Sin City

Reason: Around two hours of pure eye candy. Spectacular effects and polished to radiance. Nearly flawless transition to the screen. Interesting dialogue. Noteworthy cast. Bruce Willis. Benecio Del Toro. Explosions/Dismemberment/Decapitation/Torture. Prostitutes brandishing guns. Elijah Wood is Harry Potter's evil twin.

[sidneylopsides]

I saw thtrailer and it does look good. I'll go see it on your recommendation.

Movie: The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

Ok, it's not out yet, and I haven't seen it but it looks amazing. I've read the interviews, it's going to be superb.

edit: I have seen it and it is superb! Go see!

[sack the chimp]

I saw The Machinist the other day.

Dark and moody, visually quite stunning - if nothing else for a frighteningly thin Christian Bale. Quite moving too, but its no 'feel good' movie. Worth watching, if the above grabs you at all.

[Redux]

Film: Kung Fu Hustle

Reason: This movie is nothing short of spectacular. It is highly comical, which is evident since it brought me to tears on occasion. The ridiculous kung fu abilities shown throughout the movie are definitely interesting, to say the least. Plus, Landlady is unstoppable.

http://img157.exs.cx/img157/5076/200501262012217tz.jpg

[Rogue]

Phantom of the Opera

I see this has been mentioned before but I would like to mention it again. If for no other reasone go see it for the GBF (gerard butler factor). I saw it several days ago but his image is still burning in my retinas from the eternal flames of his sheer masculinity and talent.

I also loved the color palettes of the sets and costumes; the opera house was lovely.

It comes out on DVD tomorrow (may 3rd) and if i do poorly on my final exams I shall blame andrew lloyd webber.

[renatzu]

The Manchurian Candidate

Excellent thriller, although not quite as good as the original. Great acting from Denzel Washington and brilliant work from Meryl Streep. Her performance needs to be seen to be believed. Good plot twists, can be very scary (brainwashing scenes are well done), and one hell of a climax. Wonderful film.

[Woloch]

movie: spirited away
reason: if you're like most people, you think animation is for little kids, and grown people who like anime creep you out. when you think "anime" you envision a 300 pound man in a hello kitty shirt or a spotty 15 year old who spends all his time online with a screen name like "XUchihaSasukeX".

this movie will make your re-evaluate your opinion.

it's that simple. everyone i've ever spoken to who watched this movie came away with a new appreciation for animation as a storytelling device. most of my friends were the kind of people who call anime "stupid nerdy kid crap" until they were forced to watch this movie in school, and now they're all raiding my collection. After this watch princess mononoke, maybe catch some cowboy bebop on adult swim, and you'll have a brand new respect for anime.

try it. i dare you.

[fotis]

Spirited Away=AMAZING. I saw it ages ago, and I totally agree with you.

Phantom of the Opera, I havnt seen yet, but will do very soon.

As for the manchurian Candidate, I have seen the new onw, and i thought it was quite good. crappy-ish ending but oh well, what are you gonna do?

Now, enough blabbing, here is my film:

Film: The Neverending Story (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088323/)

Reason: I simply just love this movie! The Neverending Story is an awesome movie for children and those who are still children at heart. An excellent story of adventure, friendship, and above all the courage you must find inside yourself.

Go ahead and make fun of me if you must, I know that for every movie I love someone else will hate it just as strongly. But this will always be to me one of my favorite movies. A few movies from my childhood will always have a special place in my heart like this on, as well as Tron and the Gremlins Films.

[Piedude-KT]

It's only been 6 days since the last posts, so I can still post can't I?

Film: Dodgeball.

Reason: A fantasticly goofy plot. Average Joes gym has to raise $50,000 (I think) to save their gym from being bought by rival Globo Gyms. After several failed attempts at fund-raising Average Joes gym enters the Dogeball tournament (forgotten the name.)
The charcters are great and Ben Stiller does a great job throughout the fim. "You think you're so funny with your jokes Mr.....Jokey." And Patches was the other stand out charcter, who gives the best line in the film "You're about as useful as a c**k flavoured lolipop." In one word: Hysterical!

[Explosivo]

Film: The Shawshank redemption

Reason: Possibly the best piece of movie history, in my opinion. It gives out the message that their is always hope. And tells the story of a man who gets jailed for a crime he didn't commit, and the story of his life in the Shawshank Prision

[Scabby_Knees]

Film: Belleville Rendezvous

Reason: Hardly any speaking... just freaky animation that looks really cool and confusing plot...did I mention when there is dialogue it's spoken in french?

[deliops]

Film: The Tune

Reason: It's an animated musical by Bill Plympton (most would know his work from the old geico commercials) and it is fabulous! Yah, the word musical would usually turn people off, but its hilarious and definately worth watching.

[Comrade Smith]

Movie: Clubhouse paradisio

Reason: Bloody good british comedy

[wharsmetoothpic]

Movie: Richard Pryor Live in Concert

Technically not a movie but anyone who simulates the death screams of his car tyres just after shooting them with a magnum deserves mad props!

P.S. Hi guys,this is my first post.

[FoxDhoj]

movie: spirited away
reason: if you're like most people, you think animation is for little kids, and grown people who like anime creep you out. when you think "anime" you envision a 300 pound man in a hello kitty shirt or a spotty 15 year old who spends all his time online with a screen name like "XUchihaSasukeX".

try it. i dare you.

Very good film. Try:

Film: Princess Mononoke

Made by the creator(s) or Spirited Away, this film is very compelling and has a complex yet simple storyline, in a way. Just watch this film, and any other Studio Ghibli film [Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, The Cat Returns].

[wobbl the fifth]

:slash: :slash:
movie : leon

reason : it has the greatest plot i have ever seen. plus the gunfight at the end is spectacular and its funny when you see the corrupt cop getting blown to pieces at the end. also good acting from jean reno, gary oldman and a 13-14 year old natalie portman who is in star wars at the moment :)

:notworthy :notworthy

:slash: :slash: :slash:
