Saw Untouchable at the weekend - would definitely recommend that.

A Lonely Place To Die was good - scared the Missus shhitless....

Continuing the German theme - Downfall (Der Untergang) was fantastic...

More good German Movies...

Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt) - love this movie - lots of interesting Berlin landscapes
Martha - about a female Chef, missus made me watch it, was very good - remade in Hollywood with Catherine Zeta Jones
Gegen Sie Wand - about the Turkish community in Hamburg.
Triumph of the Wills (Triumph des Willens) Leni Riefenstal Hitler propaganda movie - worth watch a even if you are not a nazi sympathiser.
Nosferatu the Vampyre - Kate Bush used the Gregorian Chanting music in her song can't remember on seminal Hounds Of Love. Another movie with Bruno Ganz in it.

German theme, Goodbye Lenin - very good movie.

Also liked - blame it on fidel, but the french.

Think it was you who mentioned - the lives of others, fantastic movie!

Lola rennt is pretty amazing. The director's "the princess and the warrior" is very good too.

so many movies, so little time...

127 hours - really enjoyed it at the cinema. The way they shot the pain with blasts of light and noise really had you feeling it.

+1 for Intacto and La Comunidad

[speling bee]

Casino (one of my favourite all time movies)

Dog Soldiers or From Dusk Till Dawn (for a little light relief and comedy violence)

The Usual Suspects (great the first time you see it)

Fight Club (obviously)

True Romance (totally under rated)

Hate to say it, but I agree with Gentile with regard to No Country for Old Men. Thought it was a pile of pish.

Yes, True Romance is a great movie.

Heat and Miami Vice are pretty good too, especially if you've got a home cinema to appreciate the quality of the surround sound. Michael Mann certainly knows how to direct. Collateral (2004) wasn't as good IMHO, purely because I couldn't take Tom Cruise seriously in that character, but those three films between them still contain the prettiest gunfights you'll see all year. That's Michael Mann's forte.

Thank you for smoking - Brilliant film!

No Country for Old Men, for me, was a masterpiece. Switched it off the first time I saw it, but like Fargo, it just grows on you.

[vetran]

Of course blade & Underworld series.

Wesley with cool haircut and babes or Kate Beckinsale in leather - whats not to like?


Resident Evil - Milla gets it tight (clothing .. behave yourself) for the lads see above.

[SantaClaus]

Here's an eclectic selection for you...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - IMDb

Inception (2010) - IMDb

Mulholland Drive (2001) - IMDb (or anything by David Lynch)

Snatch. (2000) - IMDb

The Prestige (2006) - IMDb

La comunidad (2000) - IMDb (Hilarious black comedy in Spanish with subtitles)
