The Royal Tenanbaums - seen this months ago and thought it was hilarious, but hardly anyone Ive mentioned it to have seen it!!

My 3rd favourite movie of all time. My old sig used to be "Life Moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Which I would have kept, but I wanted a family guy one.

Anyway, Underrated movie- Detroit Rock City- If you like 70s rock, this is the movie for you. Great movie. Could have been funnier, but other thasn that it's great.

God I thought the Royal Tenanbaums was bloody awful. Good cast wasted. What a waste of my time.

Excellent Film

I would add anything by Jim Jaramusch.
Dancer in the Dark (opinions on this film divided by I hate / I love camps generally)
The Sweet Hereafter.
To Kill a Mockingbird.
Anything Hitchcock.

Once watched To Kill a Mockingbird and Rear Window double header in an old-timey style cinema down under and it was such a treat.

Requiem for a dream. Highly recommended to those who haven't seen it.

It was disturbing enough watching it on dvd, certainly a film, i wouldnt like to see again

I watched the breakfast club, expecting a normal teen comedy, but got a great drama. It's really good, and funny in bits too.

City of God
Chopper
The Royal Tenenbaums
Donnie Darko
Requiem for a Dream
Magnolia
Old School

I had never heard much about these films before watching them and rate them all very highly.
