    If you like animated films you should watch The Iron Giant. It was based on the novel The Iron Man by Ted Hughes (which also inspired the Black Sabbath song of the same name). I thought it was great.

    The Prestige is AMAZING!!! It's my favourite movie of all time! It's so clever and unpredictable, anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out

    Calm down.

    Why didn't Godzilla 2 ever come out?

    We all remember the eggs hatching towards the end of Godzilla.



    Ever watch the cartoon series Godzilla. It continues on after the end of the movie.

    As for my favourite movies they include: Bourne Trilogy
    LOTR Trilogy
    Black Hawk Down
    Most films with Denzel Washington
    Taken
    Forrest Gump
    and The Muppet Christmas Carol :D

    Shutter Island

    Inside Man is a great film. So's Goodfellas, but I really didn't rate Shutter Island at all - it looked great, but was fairly vacuous with a twist that was so obvious in coming, it didn't even qualify as a twist.

    A lot of people say that I think its the complete opposite, and am still unsure of what the ending meant. In a nutshell,
    Was he nuts all along and the role playing theory was true, or did they really fcuk him up for fear of being found out?

    I really did rate this as one of best films ive ever seen

    He was crazy all the way trough but was cured by the role playing exercise in the end, but couldnt accept the truth (that his wife killed his children and then he killed her) and decided to freely accept the lobotomy.

    The Saw Movies? Really OP?

    Otherwise, *puts on pretentious foreign film hat* A la Folie...Pas du Tout and Tsotsi are amazing. Moon was also very good.
