*Simone*

The Diving Bell & the Butterfly, I liked that.
Amelie
I've Loved You So Long

nacho libre

off the bottom of my head:
Amal
Eduart
Revanche
Martyrs
Let the Right One In
Finn's Girl
Starting Out in the Evening
Tropa De Elite
Gomorra
Flash of Genius
Hounddog
Doubt
The Caller
Two Lovers
Gardens of the Night
The Band's Visit
The Lucky Ones

*Simone*

Out of those 17 films you've just listed, I've only heard of 4
Clearly into your art-house cinema! Doubt is good, so is Two Lovers. I'd recommend that purely for the fact that it's supposedly Phoenix's final film.

Fluffybums

How about some golden oldies:
Twelve Angry Men
Arsenic and Old Lace
Lavender Hill Mob
To Kill a Mockingbird (good book as well)
Killing Fields
Inherit the Wind
Any Hitchcock movie
It's a wonderful life

i'd recommend Two Lovers purely for Vinessa Shaw, who i remember from Hocus Pocus - my favourite film from 1993:P

Leaving aside my crush on her, i think it is a good film. I liked the ending:)

*Simone*

Yeah I was only watching Hocus Pocus there a few days ago 'coz it was on TV and i couldn't believe that was the same girl! I mean that film must've been made about 15years ago, and she looks the same then as she does now! (b*tch) :P


(Oh, it was made 15yrs ago... I'm very tired :P)

Mr.Lizard

Why don't you spend 6 days cataloging your brothers entire dvd collection (including Barcodes etc) and then get back to us with a full list. We can then select which titles are the best in an easy and focused fashion.

Pans Lab was brilliant.

If you like foreign films try Nightwatch it's Russian and really good.

dumby

try hidden

brilliant french movie

nacho libre

two films i forgot to mention are MR 73 and Man in the Chair

The latter film is hokey, but i still loved it. Christopher Plummer should have gotten an oscar nomination for his performance in this film:mad:

Dante

Seriously you should try foreign films....they are actually unreal.

Evil (Ondskan) <-- Swedish, My fav film of all time (and many agree once they've seen it!)
La Haine
Les Choristes

What a great flick

goodolegill

Amorres Perros is well worth a look - its very hard hitting but its from the same film maker who made 21 grams which is also excellent (ignore babel)

As a true story the Changeling is the best film ive seen this year along with burn after reading
