I'm really cruddy at remembering film titles and I know there must be loads I promised myself to watch but never got around to it. Can you please help me from your all time fave lists people?

Loved all them but never seen The Jacket, will look! Also have to add Gattaca, and heartily not recommend From Paris With Love. Watched it on Monday night, oh my god it sucked. Was amusing, but in a massively over the top way.

preconceptions are a funny thing.. never would have thought they would appear in your list of top films! not because i think they're great films and think the opposite of you, or anything so sinister! just the impression i got of you from t'forum, these don't quite match..

my current recommendations (not saying they're new films or anything, i'm shit at being up to date), in no particular order:

role models
beetlejuice
the crazies
v for vendetta
family guy: blue harvest
all the bourne films
iron man 1 & 2
shutter island, i quite enjoyed even thought the "twist" is as plain as the nose on your face
in bruges (this should be way nearer the top - if you haven't seen it, prioritise it)
zombieland

if you want something a bit older and more thought provoking, try a film from the 70s called "network"..

Bizarrely, my copy of In Bruges fell off its shelf a couple of minutes ago and I decided that it was time to watch it again.


Network was very highly thought of at the time, but it seems to have been almost ignored ever since.

Recent films I liked:

- 127 hours (surprisingly ok/good considering what I expected)
- Inception (get ready for weird dreams after watching this one... maybe thats just me)

Also heard good things about "The Cove" but not watched it yet.

Idiocracy, I discovered from this forum, not sure if it yourself that originally posted about it or Shoes, but it's a great film that I've watched many times.

The Island, I watched immediately again, but maybe because that also features another future Mrs. Grigson.

I left V off, but that should have been on the list as well due to the amount of times watched.

Did you expect top of the list to be Reds or something similar?

I am quite puzzled and will obviously have to work on my online persona!

I was going to give a heads up but i'm sure you've already seen it - Pulp Fiction was just on BBC 3. What a film that is.

Who's motorcycle is this?

It's a Chopper, baby.

Who's Chopper is this?

Zeds.

Who's Zed?

Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

Saw inception recently, if you can get over all of the hollywood BS it's actually quite good :)

Requiem for a dream, Pie, Pulp Fiction, Dogma, Sex Drive, Idiocracy, Baseketball are all worth watching.

WOW! Great response, there's already some titles in here that are gonna get some air time.....ty :D

Watched "Creation" last night=, almost gave the old tear glands a work out. would of liked a bit more to do with the theory side of thing than the emotional aspects.

Forumite Rating - 6/10
