A bit O/T what are your favourite films and any good new releases

For me, Trainspotting is a classic, i also watched 'Looking for Eric' recently and that was great.

District 9 is the best film ever. That and Young Guns 2.

"Withnail and i"....One very funny film!!!

Dr Strangelove

Step Brothers is funny.

Gladiator....

"Fooking Prawns" good film but nothing special though.


for me

Vanishing Point is an awesome film for me
or

Saving Private Ryan.

Favaroute films off the top of my head :M.A.S.H, Catch 22, The Godfather trilogy, Alien, Jackie Brown, Deliverance, Control, This Sporting Life, Dog Day Afternoon.

In no particular order, and just off the top of my head:-
Schindlers List

Soldier Blue ...

So many quality films I could name, but going to have to narrow it down to one:

Cidade de Deus (City of God)

2001: A Space Odyssey.

Blew me away, that.

Paranormal Activity:

is by some distance the worst film I have ever seen

in fact the only activity I saw was people leaving the cinema half way through this pile of crap.


dont watch it

I loved it. Got it on blueray and watched it about 40 times. I just find it so good to watch, none of the boring sections most films have. The comedy value is just insane and so subtle at times, but it's the childish stuff that gets me going. Like when they knock on the aliens door and he answers it and says "No one is here" and closes the door Beyond the humour and the superb action scenes it's also got a good morality to it, with the mirroring of apartheid and the message that we really shouldn't single out those who are different. Top stuff. I love Wikus' accent.
