Need a film to watch

Sadly, the one I have watched the most is The Matrix.

However

The one I always enjoy when re-watching is True Romance.
None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    High Noon
    Fort Apache
    A Matter of Life and Death

    I've just seen that the Life and Times of Colenel Blimp is on this weekend, a very good (if controversial) choice for Remembrance Day.

    Not yet a classic but 'Drive' stylish, brooding and violent, is one on the best films I've see for a while. Great soundtrack as well :D

    If you're stuck for tomorrow night,"Run Lola Run" or "A Simple Plan" are both superb.

    Ronin

    or

    Leon

    Damn good films in my opinion.

    The Matrix, there's a biggie I've never seen. That's my eve sorted, cheers!
    Its a PITA.
    1st watch - WTF?
    2nd watch - Understanding.
    3rd watch - Enjoyment.

    After the first watch you have to decide whether you can be bothered to acquire the taste.

    And don't bother with parts 2 or 3.

    Ferris Buellers Day Off is my all time fave.

    Other good ones are:

    Worlds Fastest Indian
    Untouchable (not the untouchables!)

    +1. Agree with you on both points! Although, my Missus now want's to add Ryan Gosling to her 'allowed' list. The list is now longer than my Wiggle wishlist FFS.

    I actually bought the silk scorpion jacket (I so could have pulled off the look) but my wife made me send it back :lol:

    And don't worry, watch 'Only God Forgives' starring Gosling with the same director, your Missus will soon go off him.

    Right

    - 28 Days Later - scary as a scary thing with horns on
    - In Bruges - Violent, excellent, funny - like Tarantino only better with fewer Yanks and more Irish
    - Blade Runner - get the latest version you can, NOT the original which is ruined by stupidity
    - Fargo - see "In Bruges"
    - Sideways - like a French film, only set in California with Americans
    - Little Miss Sunshine - I nearly wee'd myself the first time I saw it
    - The 40 year-old Virgin - also funny
    - The Bournes are good
    - The latest Bond is a good film, full stop - let alone a good Bond film

    That'll do for now. Nothing in black 'n' white, 'cos frankly I've yet to see a decent B&W film - from the Battleship Potemkin onwards, they are either dreary or have too many "Darling?", "Yes, Darling?" "Oh, gosh, Darling" moments in it (see: Brief Encounter). The only exception is Le Samurai because it's French and has Alain Delon in it.
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Twinned with some Rapha Pro leather mitts, that would look the dogs :D

    The Place beyond the Pines is another good Gosling movie. Saying that I don't think he can do any wrong. Cool dude and awesome actor.
