    Been watching a few films lately and thought I'd throw up a thread about peoples favourite films in after hours. So what are yours?

    A couple on the top of my list would be:

    Man on Fire
    Gone in 60 Seconds
    Fast and furious 1
    The Bourne Identity
    Lucky Number Slevin
    Inside Man
    And most films with Will Smith:)

    Naked by Mike Leigh.

    His producer, Simon Channing Williams, died last week.

    May he rest in peace.

    My God that's a great film.

    David Thewlis is brilliant in it.

    I went to see fast and furious 4 in the cinema on friday on my own in a desparate attempt to prevent myself from drinking that night. Not as good as Death Race which had fast cars but also machine guns attached to the said card. Theoretically, a far more interesting premise.

    Even though I haven't seen it yet, Terminator 4 is my favourite film of all time. Disappoint me and I will throw myself in front of a train

    I generally prefer 70mm whenever possible. 35mm is ok too but sometimes the grain does start to show when blown-up on the latestt high-tech televisions accompanied by blu-ray disk.
