The Usual Suspects is a must-see. Keyser Soze!

12 Monkeys is a great movie. Brad Pitt is in an even crazier role than in Fight Club. And Bruce Willis is outstanding as well. If you don't like either of those actors, you should still give it a shot because the story is awesome.

BW wakes up in a jail in 2035, and 99% of humanity has been wiped out by a virus. A group of elders offer him a pardon if he goes back in time and finds out more about the "army of the 12 Monkeys." So he goes back in time, and tells people he's from the future and winds up in a mental hospital. There, he meets BP, and some other people. Then a bunch of other stuff happens that I won't ruin.

Curious case of Benjamin button
The departed - amazing film
District9 - different to what I expected and very good.
The Hangover - funniest film in a long time
40 year old virgin - very close second to hangover
Batman - Dark knight.
Inception - very clever

Older films some obvious some not so....
Sleepers - watched this again only last night
Cloverfield - a "Monster" movie so much better than ANY other ever...
Road to Perdition - good role from Tom Hanks
Usual Suspects-just amazing
Castaway - Tom Hanks again amazing
Scent of a woman - Al Pacino is mind-blowing in this!
Falling Down
Goodfellas
Pulp fiction
SuperSizeMe -great documentary - oddly didn't put me off McDonalds though!?
Back to the Future Part 1 - my fave film ever (80s movie)
Heat
Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels
Snatch

There's a few for you to get hold of I hope...

Past or present (last couple of years) and do you like documentaries that have a catch at the very end?

reply to post by VicDiaz89


Ghost375 has a good shout with "The Usual Suspects" - see my profile.

For my particularly biased choices I'd recommend:

* Enemy of The State
* The Hunted
* Hackers
* The Jacket
* Silence of The Lambs

Tis all I can think of at the minute

Ooohh forgot one!!!
Saving Private Ryan - I HATE war films but this hooked me from the very start! Phenomenal doesn't do it justice

There are a couple of films above I haven't seen myself that have been named so gonna get hold of them...
Cheers

Yes defo on both counts - that's where the cinema is wrong over her - can't buy a beer to watch film with. I dont want 2kg of popcorn and a drink so sugary i can feel it destroying the enamel as it passes down go rot your guts as well....

Cinema is a joke - last time I took my lad few years ago - even with buy one get one free on ticket - the "treats" he wanted bought total cost to £25!! Total rip off.

reply to post by facchino


Agree mate, big style. Going to the cinema now can easily come to £30, our local cinema has a bar upstairs (crazy prices) but that's been closed now as well, total rip off.

Cargo Pants with big pockets can save you $$$
Bottle of Water; Pack of Peanuts; Couple Chocolate Bars; and you're set.

I can see that you may be running short on time after watching all 1200 movies previously listed, so I am gonna go with a slightly different approach. If I see a movie that I know I want to watch, then I make it a point to not watch any previews about it, or read any reviews. 'Cowboys And Aliens' for example. I know 4 things about it: Cowboys, Aliens, Ford, Craig. That is all I need to know. This method does backfire occasionally, but I still prefer it.


Anyways, I had not even heard about this movie until last night. It was just released on DVD a few days ago. This↓ was all I needed to see, to know that I am going to watch this later.

Hobo With A Shotgun
I did read this↓ much about it, but I didn't click the 'read more' so if you want more........

Plot: A train rolls into its final stop. From one of the freight cars jumps a weary-eyed transient with dreams of a fresh start in a new town. Instead, he lands smack-dab in the middle of an urban hellhole, a place where the cops are crooked and the ...

Even if you don't share my same desire to watch 'Hobo With A Shotgun,' then I would still advise checking out the rest of the MovieFone site. I usually go there every week, just to see whats new on DVD.


I just watched 'The Adjustment Bureau' a couple days ago. It was pretty good. Its a different idea, and definitely an interesting concept. I am sure that many on this site, could believe that it is real, and currently happening. That's is doubtful, but it is interesting nonetheless.

ONLY watch Oldboy if you never heard of it and have no idea what you're getting into.
If you read any spoilers it then becomes pointless.

If you are absolutely clueless as to what Oldboy is or is about - then watch it - I think you might find its the best one on this page.

P.S. I also highly recommend a movie called "Rude Awakening" starring Eric Roberts and Cheech Marin - however - it has NOT been released on DVD - somehow I'm not surprised at that either considering the topics.

Since no one will probably buy it - best speech ever

Shame they cut off the ending where he says "Where is everyone going? dont you care?"
