Suggest me a good film to watch

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    I just watched Amateur by Hal Hartley, and can't recommend it enough. Funny, off-kilter, smart, and so, so, 90s in the best ways possible.

    Re: TSR Film Recommendations/What's Your Favourite Film?
    The Harry Potter movies. The first few are more "kiddy" but when you get to around Harry Potter 4, they get really good, with the story all coming together.

    Road To Perdition. This was just a great film all round. Nothing more to say lol.

    Jurassic Park. Ahhh, my all time favourite film. If any of you haven't seen this, I would recommend it 100%. No, actually, I'd recomment it 500% :lol:

    - Death Becomes Her
    - Donnie Darko
    - Amelie
    - Black Swan
    - Kill Bill Vol. 1

    Sweet Sixteen - the Scottish one that is, set in Greenock, very good film.

    Black Swan - very well done, excellent directing and pretty good acting.

    Donnie Darko - pretty depressing really, but probably my No. 1 desert island dvd, I couldn't go the rest of my life without being able to watch it.

    Return of the King - Tolkien should be up there with Virgil and Homer, and the film is a brilliant adaptation.

    City of God/Slumdog Millionaire - not the best films in the world, but so fast paced and enjoyable. I basically group them as one film because I like India and Brazil so much as countries, and they are pretty similar in their depictions of them.

    Hot Fuzz - probably my favourite British film, just because it's so funny and so brilliantly directed.

    A Prophet - French prison-gang film, easily my favourite foreign language film though. Anyone who hasn't watched it, should.

    La Haine - Mathieu Kassovitz's masterpiece, would be on my list solely because of the 'nique la police' scene, even if the rest of it wasn't an amazing film.

    Casino Royale - best bond film, second favourite British film

    Airplane - for obvious reasons


    Honourable mentions are Pirates of the Carribean, Miyazaki's Spirited Away, and Kick-Ass (best superhero movie)
