    Best Movies/ Series Of All Time
    Summer has started.. for me at least, and I wanna know what people would classify as the best movies to watch. I wanna know what to watch- what has been the best in the last 10 years.

    Also for series- what would you recommend. I wanna watch the Prince Of Bel Air, cause I used to watch a few but never got round to watching many. I like comedy series so any recommendations welcome.

    "The Human Centipede" and "The Human Centipede part 2" - Don't watch any trailers of it or read any reviews, it'll spoil the fun. Just watch them

    I just wanted to add a bit of bulk to my list, and I was worried that if I'd said 'Wes Anderson' it would have led to some confusion. I really ****ing love Wes Anderson's films, you have no idea.

    Moonrise Kingdom is brilliant, go see it post-haste.

    "Californication" is awesome. "Two and a half men" is good as well.If you want something more serious then "Homeland" is your choice. Have fun!
