What films are you watching?

Pygmalion

There's already a thread here for TV shows and books, but none for films (other than a "Greatest movie ever" thread which isn't the same thing), so I figured it'd be a good thread to start.

To start with I've recently watched:

Full Metal Jacket - Fairly good, better than I was expecting anyway.

La Femme Nikita - Decent, but not great.

Martyrs - Fairly good, seems to quickly fail near the end, like they just gave up on a storyline and wanted to end it quickly.

Dragonball Evolution - AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Léon - Pretty good, seen it before but ages ago, it's just as good as I remember it.

Pulp Fiction - What can I say, possibly one of the best films ever, if not the best.

Fight Club, love it.
Good Will Hunting
Catch me if you can
+1 on Pulp Fiction
Behind Enemy Lines
Slumdog Millionaire (Director comes from my town:cool:)
Have to throw in the old Shawshank Redemption too, what a film.

Daysha

Literally just finished watching Yes Man a few minutes ago and thought it was really enjoyable. Very "Liar Liar"-esque though, there's parts where you feel it's practically the same movie!

Still very good all the same.

Slumdog Millionaire, watched for the 3rd time, still great.

Usual Suspects accccccccccccccccce film.

Pigwidgeon

i know i'll probably be killed for saying this,
but i love the sex and the city movie
and juno, love that too.

went to see the proposal recently, brilliant movie, even the bf agreed (which is very rare)

bruno was a huge let down, don't go see it.

+1 for slumdog millionaire great movie.

oh yeah wedding crashers is brilliant, going through a bit of a phase with that.

-Saw harry potter recently. As expected, it sucked.
-Grease: a classic. Who couldnt love that movie.:)
-decided to try the Princess Protection Programme movie out by disney channel - as usual, it was just another thing about two girls realising they can be anythin they wanna be blah blah blah!
-Wimbeldon : oh i love this movie to bits!:D
-Prom night: ok, this is supposed to be a scary movie.. It failed dramatically!

I watched "What Happens in Vegas" with my mother last night. We agreed that, while somewhat enjoyable, the plot was far-fetched and the characters were a tad flat and one-dimensional.

Muppet Treasure Island with my nephew- a timeless classic!!

Rise of the Footsoldier-Fairly good, not everyone would like it though, but I like all the stuff it was about-hooligans, druggie bouncers etc.

Superbad-Legendary, laughed so much.

Wind That Shakes the Barley-Brilliant, one of my all time favourites.

Half Baked-Class stoner comedy.

Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay-Good, but I preffered the first one tbh.

Most Recent:

The Hangover - Didn't think it lived up to the hype but was funny

All-Time Favourites:

I Am Legend - Actually, nearly everything with Will Smith, that man is legendary
Everything With Will Smith - As mentioned
The Rock - Sean Connery and girly-man Nicholas Cage? Genious.
Entrapment - Actually, most films with old Sean Connery.
Pokemon: The First Movie - FRIGHTENED YA THERE DIDN'T I

More I can't think of. Dying to see The Rock, seen it like twice but haven't seen it recently.

Bruno - A great stress reliever with some serious laugh out loud moments. Very enjoyable.

Public Enemies - Bit of a let down. Flashes of brilliance but it's only ok in the end. Could have been great.

*reminds self to watch usual suspects*

Watched Key Largo earlier. Edward G. Robinson was the man.

I think "The Reader" is the one occasion where I've preferred a film adaption of a book to the book itself. Great movie.

i love this movie. Sooooo frickin sad... The ending has me in tears everytime.
Or the notebook. Another sad movie but its so romantic the ending is really sad but so good. Watched both of these a couple of days ago.

Watched this tonight. An absolute classic. The tale of a young boy who sneaks downstairs on Christmas Eve to see Santa Claus (his father in a suit) eating his mother's muff.



Boy freaks the f*ck out and cuts himself. 30 years later he dresses up as Santa and kills a bunch of people on Christmas Eve. Quality.

Watched Adventureland yesterday from the makers of Superbad. It was ok but, it seemed the whole film couldn't make up its mnd if it was a comedy or a drama.

I saw Taken on dvd the other night, excellent film I was really impressed and would watch it again. I recommend it! Liam neeson is fantastic in it.

tracker-man

Has anybody mentioned The Dark Knight?? I thought that was EPIC. Mostly because of Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker, unbelievable!

Sophsxxx

August Rush....mainly watching it constantly cuz of the sex god that is Jonathon Rhys Meyers.
Twilight....Just love it...absolutely obsessed!

Watched The Shawshank Redemption last night for the 1000th time I cant get enough of Morgan Freemans voice.

The most recent films I seen were Sex Drive and The Reader.
Sex Drive is pretty run of the mill teensexyoungngrossoutOMGZLULZ type of film.
The Reader is great,bleak,depressing and deep.My kind of film.
