    I'm looking for inspiration for a movie night with some friends.

    They generally like my sort of movies which include:

    Where is Alice Creed
    anything by Tarantino
    The Departed
    Crash
    The Usual Suspects
    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
    Memento
    Shawshank Redemption
    Into the Wild
    Léon
    Road to Perdition
    No Country for Old Men
    Mystic River

    I'm looking for:
    -movies that have a good plot, or a clever twist to the plot
    - the sort of movie that at the end you think "thats just brilliant" and then recommend it to all your friends

    I'm not looking for:
    -a romcom
    - anything with Sandra Bullock or Ben Stiller is banned
    -a movie that leaves you feeling depressed
    -anything related to porn (gf will be also watching the movie along with several other friends)

    any ideas?
    I imagine Brake (2012) would be ideal
    Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here

            Inception and Layer Cake are both awesome.

            If you want a laugh "Expelled, no intelligence allowed".

            ID is a good one.
            For good switch your brain off fun "The Avengers"

            Serenity
            The Shining
            Full Metal Jacket

              Source Code is suitably odd.
              Well that is good too but I meant "Avenger Assemble"

                I recommend:
                The Life of Pi
                Terminator 4
                Moon
                The Time Traveller's Wife.
                Given the criteria, I would not recommend Pi as it's utter contrived tulipe
                TTW is good, but best watched with a GF not a group of lads

                The other two are a bit meh.

                    I have not checked but I believe so.
