Recommend me your must see movie

[Threshers_Flail]

Tzametti.

It's better that you know nothing about it going in; that way the vital twist will be even more of a sucker punch that leaves you breathless.

I'll second that. For me, it'll have to be Amores Perros, great film.

Grizzly Man

^ that ^ excellent choice , the line between dickhead and brilliance is a very fine one and despite Timothys eventual fall into madness throughout his very short life he entertained many children about allsorts of wildlife not just the Grizzlys , I attended 2 of his "seminars" and his pohotography was some of the best I have ever witnessed , a fool though to think that he could muster trust with ALL grizzlys , but him taking that risk gained so much fantastic footage.

The "fight" between the 2 grizzlys is a stunning piece of nature footage , rarely captured in its full violence and brutalness.

Besides had they not been hounded by those that "meddled" he may still have been alive today.

...but in my opinion its an excellent real life docu of a very individual man and the big 10 foot grizzly that brushes calmly past without Timothy shiteing his pants is worth watching the film for alone , brave ? , dickhead? , maybe just someone that wanted to do something very very different with his life rather than sit in a bedsit on the net and going to the bar once a week.

Into the wild is similar and pretty much also about someone who took the courage to do something out of the ordinary but also paid the ultimate price Christopher McCandless not a docu though so only based on his life.

Must say that out of the new movies Lars and the real girl is a stunner , but one to only watch sobre as theres a good message in there , good all round feel good movie also about a "dick head" , fantastic laid back acting , if you like movies like , Once , Eagle Vs shark , Juno & Smiley Face (also great recent movies) you will love it.


Favourite film of all time though and a must see at least once "british" movie is the second in the Lindsey Anderson / Malcolm McDowell Triology , O Lucky Man way way ahead of its time as far taking the P*SS out off some of the red tape in British way of life is concerned great soundtrack too and includes the best movie comedic scream face ever in my opinion (others were If , and the third was Brittania Hospital)
