computers are ok, but there's something about playing on the telly

specially on a HDTV

I was amazed at the difference in gaming when I got mine

 

[internetstalker]

Thats 2 votes for the fall

*checks ebay*

 

[weltweit]

And two votes for

Delicatessent

(A french film but really a great watch, very amusing and a bit dark)

 

[Badgers]

Like The Fall a lot

 

[Yetman]

The Nines - Really strange but interesting film

The Fall - Really visually stunning film, all locational, next to no CGI.

Best In Show - Really, really funny.

Respect on the first two, although The Fall is really only good for the visuals, the acting isnt that great. Story is though. If you like that then The Cell by the same producer is also amazing visually. In fact its not just amazing, its fucking amazing.

I also recommend Delicatessen, and The City of Lost Children.

The Animatrix
Brazil
Spider (loved this film)
eXistenZ (or any of cronenbergs latest films in fact)
Underworld 1 and 2

 

[weltweit]

I also recommend Delicatessen, and The City of Lost Children.

The City of Lost Children was by the same director, or is that wrong? I have seen it also but I can't really recollect much about it.

Yep, Jean Charles Jeunet. I'm a big fan

He also did Amelie, A Very Long Engagement and Alien 4 (although Alien 4 doesnt really have any of his characteristics in it such as orphans.....although actually it does thinking about it.......interestingly featured people, that little elf type guy who's in all his films and slightly eccentric thought monologues)

 

[geekpenguin]

The (Original) Matrix
The Kingdom
LOTR
Star Wars
Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
Any Ghibli movie
Seven Samurai
Equilibrium

...I could go on, but I would literally go on forever.

Goodbye Lenin

2nd vote for goodbye lenin...... great film

[N_igma]

Gone Baby Gone.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Another vote for Dead Man's Shoes.

All the President's Men (about Watergate), Casablanca, Amelie, Three Colours Trilogy, La Haine, Les Indigenes (about French Algerians who fought with the French during WWII), Donnie Darko, Control Room, Little Miss Sunshine, Snowcake (indy film starring Sigourney Weaver as an autistic woman, and also Alan Rickman, and I think Carrie Moss too), Wall-E, In the Mood for Love, Lan Yu (a Chinese Brokeback Mountain, but without the cowboys, horses and mountains), Beijing Bicycle.

The 9th Company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_9th_Company Russian film set in Afghanistan, has been compared with Platoon and Full Metal Jacket etc.

More recent films Frost/Nixon and Australia.

And I'll probably think of some more...

 

[internetstalker]

Just ordered the following films:

Dead man's shoes

Tyson the movie

Mean streets


and have bids om Taxi Driver & 12 angry men


Will look into getting the fall at a later date I thinks

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yeah true but I've recommended them to practically everyone

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Gone Baby Gone.

Ah., yes, this was very impressive I thought.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yeah you'll pay the same or more as in the UK for the console, but the games will be markedly cheaper.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

You can definitely tell it's him though when you watch Alien 4. The visual style is exactly the same, and while it's the poorest Alien film, I quite liked the fact that he didn't change his style to suit the mass audience.

With "The City of Lost Children", make sure (for fuck's sake!) that you get a version with french language and English subtitles, rather than getting the English-dubbed version, which is distracting, and badly done.

I know what you're thinking. Seen one American film and you've seen them all. Well not quite. This one's actually rather good.
