Recommend a Film

Now, I am unaware if a thread like this exists, but I thought, it would be a good idea.

Now, I am always looking for new, entertaining films that I should see, as I'm sure other are as well. Perhaps a film that came out awhile ago but fell under the radar.

For instance, a friend recommended to me RocknRolla, which I had never heard of but I found to be fantastic. Loved the narrator, and the specific scenes with the two Russian hitmen who just would not give up, truly hilarious.

I recommend it to anyone

Now the idea of this thread it to recommend films you have seen recently that you think we should all watch at one point or another.

:)

If you liked RocknRolla, then perhaps you should check some other Guy Ritchie stuff. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are both really fun films.

Moon with Sam Rockwell was a fantastic gem from this year, but I don't believe it's out just yet on Blu-ray and DVD. And then there's always FIGHT CLUB...

I've seen snatch but such a long time ago, is it the one with Boris the bullet dodger? :) Might have to watch it again :D

And Bullet Tooth Tony too! It's fun and worth repeated viewings, but you should check out Lock, Stock... if you haven't seen it yet.

Just watched Snatch again, brilliant film, is Lock, stock and Two Smoking Barrels in the same category?

Flight 666

Up the Irons. ;)

The Big Lebowsky

Sci-fi movie earlier this year way way back in ought-nine called Moon, directed by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones. A followup is planned and I have no doubt it'll be amazing (a sci-fi "city film" similar to Blade Runner), so hunt this one down for sure.

It's an old one, but the Original The Italian Job!

Or, Hot Fuzz!

There both great films!:)

Hot Fuzz, Dawn of The Dead, Diary of The Dead,28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Zombieland, Land of The Dead, District 9, Killer Klownz From Outer Space, House Of 1000 Corpses, Sherlock Holmes, and Borat.

Oh thought you were locking the thread then :P.

I don't know if I'm going to be alone with this but I liked GI Joe The Rise of Cobra, is not a movie that went under the radar but I recommend it if you haven't watch it yet, also I liked X-Men Origins: Wolverine but there is a lot of people that didn't like that one, personally I would liked to see more of Gambit since he is my favorite x-men lol

Is District 9 good?

Oh yes. It's awesome. :p
Definitely worth watching, though the beginning is kind of slow and confusing.

Well the Academy awards are soon to happen, so I have been watching Academy screeners that I have access to.
I am a self confessed movie tragic.

I watched 3 movies yesterday,all of which have yet to be released in Australia.
Just as well, as it's been too hot to do much else.

Up in the Air - George Clooney - quite a emotionally up & down movie for the viewer,what with the subject matter of unemployment and it's effects.
Clooney is as charming and witty as usual,but also adds an underlying pathos to this well crafted movie.

Possibly might get a best screenplay.
Best supporting actress for Vera Farmiga

Invictus - Morgan Freeman - Freeman does an amazing,if understated portrayal as Nelson Mandela in this Clint Eastwood directed movie,the subject matter of how Mandela utilized the South African Springbok rugby union team in the 1995 rugby world cup to help unify the country ,might have limited appeal to the masses,and in truth is not one of Eastwoods best movies,but it certainly is one of Freeman's best performances.

Good chance for best actor for Freeman [I have a very good record for picking the winner of this category]

The Hurt Locker - Jeremy Renner - This movie is centered around a former US Ranger who becomes a team leader in a bomb disposal unit based in Iraq It has a lot of subtle inflections to it, somewhat similar to last years movie Stop Loss in the empathetic handling of the story's characters.
Renner does a superb job at portraying the risk taking troubled sergeant.

Relatively unknown Renner might be giving Morgan Freeman a run for best actor for this.

i think they should make a Fallout movie, thad be awesome, but seriously, WATCH BORAT :grr:

The last good movie I saw was Zombieland, took me by surprise as I had not been following its progress when in production.

Very entertaining with a great cameo by Bill Murray as himself.

go and watch "i am legend" i think its a good movie.
oh and if you like comedy dude go watch all the "scary movie" films and "superhero movie" they are so freaking brilliant
