The man who's seen to much

Thornography · 15-09-2009 12:03PM #1

I'm scratching my head as to what film to watch next almost every night for the past 1-2 months, And have eventually settled on watching seasons of CSI-LV.

Thats right, I think I have seen them all. All the films I mean.

Being a film enthusiast was great untill this point.

Does anyone have any secret life changing films stuffed up their sleeves for me?

I just watched "F.A.Q on time travel" last night which was a laugh. Fairly classic type Brit sci-fi.

God almighty, resorting to watching CSI? You do need help man. If ya want yer cop fix then go through the Infernal Affairs Trilogy (1 F*****g ACE, 2 slightly less F*****g ACE, 3 F*****g Ace ^2)

Or if ya wanna mellow try Chungking Express or In The Mood For Love

(Going through me Asian Movie phase at the moment)

The Infernal Affairs trilogy sh1ts all over The Departed

All of Slat3's recommendations are well worth a look. Also, try these...

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance

Synecdoche, New York

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage

Happiness

Ran

The Plague Dogs

A pretty random cross-section of genres for you there. Hopefully there's one or two of them you haven't seen.

TheManWho · 15-09-2009 08:52PM

I'm sure you've seen it, but City of God is worth a watch.

Slat3 · 16-09-2009 08:13AM

Some excellent movies selected by Inglorious.

Akira Kurosawa's Ran is a great movie.

Philip Seymour Hoffman is always worth watching.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Class.

The Plague Dogs and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. I must watch.

Just to add to the list .

Unforgiven

Gran Torino

The Kite Runner

Chinatown

12 Angry Men

Rounders

Sexy Beast

Capote

La battaglia di Algeri

All of these are all well known titles but are well worth watching for me.

I always find more enjoyment in re-watching films (over&over&over in some cases) than I can imagine getting from CSI or somesuch nonsense.

Anyhoo, try these which I've recently watched (or re-watched) - Fellini's 81/2, The Apu Trilogy, Appaloosa, The Hurt Locker, Cronos, Chopper, Soylent Green and er, Kung Fu Panda.

I hate re-watching the same film twice no matter how good it is.
