    Finally got round to watching Disturbia last night, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not a classic by any means, but very watchable.

      That was good. Brilliant casting and acting. The wicked witch on the fence and the water pump - classic

        If you haven't watched The Wire, I highly recommend it. That's 60 hours worth right there.

          Some good movies – not too obscure but not hyped as your usual summer blockbuster:
          - Harsh Times
          - Fan Boys
          - Nine Queens
          - Chopper
          - Infernal Affairs trilogy
          - Battle Royale
          - Old Boy
          - Lady vengeance
          - Zatoichi
          - Napolean Dynamite
          - Inside Man
          - Clerks 1 and 2

          I guess you could also get series…for comedies I recommend “Arrested Development” and “Curb your enthusiasm”

            Yes. I far preferred it to animal farm......

              WHS+1

              Gattaca was a great film of a truly dystopian future. The death of Jude Law at the end was a particularly notable piece.

                If you fancy torrenting for TV shows I'd recommend Kenny Vs Spenny for some childish entertainment.

                      Ditto. Also, Generation Kill, Band of Brothers, The West Wing (all 7 series) are all worth your time.
