JAKstriked
City of Angles
A Serious Man

there are plenty more good films.

edit: A Beautiful Mind. is epic
Seen beautiful mind, yeah it's good. Getting A serious man, not sure about city of angels, the revies arn't that good :s-smilie:

Cesare Borgia
Don't like foreign films :o:

paddyman4
Blood Diamond might be the right type of film.

Just from your list, you seem to like Christian Bale and Ed Norton a bit. Try American Psycho, Harsh Times and 25th Hour.
Seen blood Diamond, seen American Psycho, Seen Harsh times all awesome films, havn't seen 25th hour, I'll get that, thanks!

OceanInTheSky
The Man From Earth


Watch it now. Thank me later.

Thank You For Smoking, it's brilliantly sadistic. Book's good too :smile:
Seen it, one of my favourite films actually, has an awesome "cool, sleek" feel to it!
The Lives of Others
The Edukators and City of God , especially The Edukators - one of the best films I've ever seen.
I watched Taken recently, and thought it was really good.

This is a really warm and romantic film 'Excess Baggage'. Great film with great music.... One of my favs...
Didn't I say no romance films :rolleyes:

Jelkin
What's that one with Kate Winslet and Kevin Spacey about the guy who has spent his life campaigning against the death penalty and is on death row?

Oh yeah, The Life of David Gale. I thought that was pretty good, although it's been about six years since I saw it so I might be mistaken.
Thanks, I'll check it out

21
Slumdog Millionaire
Watchmen

I love these three. Amazing.
Seen 21, was pretty good, not amazing but decent. Seen slumdog Millionaie, again pretty good but felt a lil bit boring at times. Havn't seen watchmen, I'll get that..

Maturity
The Matrix - can't beat it.
Tried watching it on two occasion but I just get bored right from the start.. I'll try again someday though :tongue:

Louise_x
Oh, and Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. That one is pretty amazing too...
Seen it, pretty good but a little bit too far-fetched and slightly boring at times..

neomilan

Dunno if its been mentioned or not, dont really want to have to scroll through the 5 pages to find out but here's a few suggestions:

Gattaca
Vanilla Sky
Twelve Monkeys
Devil's Advocate (GREAT film)
Wall Street (You can watch it just in time for its upcoming prequel this year :biggrin:)
Constantine (another great reeves film)
Seven Pounds (I've never cried to a film, apart from this one...it has a slow start but it all builds up to the climactic finish which just hits you like a wave)
Pursuit of Happiness (Not quite as powerful as seven pounds, but still a pretty damn emotional film)
Lucky Number Slevin
Brazil

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, as you can see quite a few of my faves focus on dystopian futures, I love those type of films. Too bad I've seen almost all of them, we need more!!

Have them all and seen them all apart from lock stock, is it really that good?

CryogenicTribe
you've seen some **** films as well
Really? Which ones would you say were ****? Very interested in your reply!!

Ooops
The Usual Suspects
28 Days Later
Dead Mans Shoes
Memento
The Godfather 1 and 2 the thirds pretty poor
If your prepared to read subtitles or fluent in German then Downfall and The Wave are pretty good
Seen 28 days later and memento, pretty good, seen parts of the usual suspects, need to get round to watching all of it, I have dead mans shoes, need to get round to watching that as well, seen the godfather, goudn it boring :p:
Not sure if it was mentioned cause i didn't scroll through all the pages, but Funny Games is like my favourite film. It's great :smile:

Sorry too many, choose ONE that is really good instead :p:

Can't choose just one. Check them out in this order: The Believer, This Is England, A Midnight Clear, Any Given Sunday.

Nice post btw. :wink:
*Mazz_Peace*
If you've seen Shaun of the Dead then you will probably like Hot Fuzz. Its by the same director and has the same main characters. I saw it recently and really enjoyed it, very funny! :biggrin:
Seen them both and I disagree, Shaun of the dead was clever, witty and interesting where as Hot Fuzz felt stupid and immature..
