La Haine is amazing. We studied it last year in college and it's just brilliant. I found all my notes of it the other day and I sat to read them all. It's such a great, great film. You always find something new everytime you look at it. I'm going to France for a few weeks tomorrow night, this has me all excited now! We better have a telly......

Another great one is Le scaphandre et le papillion, once again not sure if that's spelled properly. Translates to English as The Diving Bell and the Butterfly so some of you may have read the book it's based on in English. Very, very good film and the French isn't too difficult for the most part. Unlike La Haine where you have to actively research curse words to make sense of half of it.....

For French language films, Persepolis is pretty amazing. It's based on a graphic novel about the Iranian Revolution. Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas is another good French film; it stars Mélanie Laurent (i.e. Shoshanna from Inglourious Basterds)

I'd also recommend any movie (French or otherwise) with Marion Cotillard in it. Simply because she is insanely beautiful. :cool: And that accent....

ESPECIALLY Inception.

Finished season five of The Wire.. What a show, by far the most realistic ever put to screen. Probably not as fulfilling as other shows for that very reason (the way certain characters bow out, function, act morally) but still the seasons come together like an immense and powerful novel. Feel kinda empty now that there's no more to come. Maybe the US Attorney General will have his wishes for new episodes granted.. maybe.

Cramming in a weeks worth of Britain's Got Talent before the final tonight...didn't even realise it had been on! Really really milking the fact that I can sit and watch cheesy crap for a few weeks before my exam results bring me back down to earth...

seoirserob · 04-06-2011 04:29PM

watched 'century of the self' over the last few nights, great documentary, eye opener that begins with the guy who invented Public Relations, so called because the term 'Propaganda' was developing negative associations . . .

That im clueless with french movies?

I used to think you were cool

On a more serious note, i started watching Swamp People.. It's excellent

jefreywithonef · 04-06-2011 10:37PM

Watched Persepolis there, bit disappointed as I didn't think it lived up to some of the reviews its had, good film nonetheless though. Too quirky for my liking..

I've been watching it on e4 myself. They are adorable. I prefer Brooke now though. Also, Lucas was so much hotter in those days!

SarahBeep! · 06-06-2011 01:57PM

Buy them on amazon seperately, got each for like 7 quid each!!

Just saw your post Sarahbeep, DON'T READ THE SPOILER!
I've only seen a little of the new series because

clay dying depressed me far too much

. But I read one of your spoilers a while back about

Brooke and Julians wedding

so I have to watch it soon. They make me happy.

SarahBeep! · 06-06-2011 02:09PM

NO WAY! I was sure he was going to die when he went into the hospital and then you heard someone flatlining. I just stopped watching. Paha! Well I feel like a knob. Gonna go watch the end of that episode now.

SarahBeep! · 06-06-2011 02:23PM
