After Hours - we're all bastards - no one wants us.

Blade Runner is probably my favourite.

One day, we shall revolt!

Groundhog day is another good movie to get stuck into, it's a timeless classic you know

Freddie Got Fingered has gotta be up there.

Bit repetitive though. :P

Last film I saw was Mystic River, very good and has a bit of twist which is always nice!

If you want something funny consider Team America

Team America isn't that funny. Although the love scene is kind of amusing when they're pissing and shitting on each other. Romance.

My 5 favourite films are:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Pans Labryinth

Crash

City of God/City of Men

Spun

Also love 'Into The Wild'. Brilliant film, but it was shown on RTE last night, so you just missed it OP

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down'.

I saw that one. Blatantly ripped off from an episode of Father Ted. Hollywood bastards glorify everything and take all the credit :mad:

The Machinist is excellent; it will, in time, go down as a classic.

Agree with this. Only saw it a couple of months ago for the first time. Terrific!

Lost in Translation.

I prefer Casino to the godfather's/ goodfellas for the mafia type movies. The narration throughout the film keeps you interested.

I watched Senna last night, so sad. I remember actually watching the race with my dad when Senna died. Its impossible to watch it with your mouth closed, it was horrific. He wore his heart on his sleeve, such determination and passion he had. Must see if you havent already.

Got to be scarface...say hello to my little friend...classic

Marwencol
Rawhead Rex

Midnight Run

Very funny. Robert De Niro before he started doing the silly funny ones.

Also a very old one - And Justice for All with Al Pacino as an upcoming lawyer.

Ghandee · 06-08-2011 06:01PM

Just found unopened DVD....

The Deer Hunter!

Gives it good enough reviews via google, any Irish opinions???

Sooopie · 06-08-2011 06:03PM

For me, it has to be The Shining - A movie I watch again and again, Nicholson and Kubrick at their best. Simply amazing.

Another 2 big favs would have to be Hitchcocks Physco & The Birds, both brilliant

More recently, Zodiac, another film I never get tired of for some reason!

I have to wait till this comes out on DVD as didn't want to see it in the cinema, as I know I'd be in floods of tears throughout, silly I know...

Darkginger · 06-08-2011 06:06PM

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
Fantasia
Brief Encounter

OK, so they're ancient, but I could (and do) watch them over and over again for both style and content.

If it had been shorted I would've liked it more. Some parts of it are excellent but I found that a lot of it dragged.
