Let's have a films thread.

Suck me off.

It's a good film, that is all the matters.

Well.

[Finnegan]

I thought it mattered. I thought the music mattered.

Naturally it's all fiction, like. As any good reader of Yahoo News can tell you - Gordon Brown's Labour are the first government in history to shaft the working class that voted them in.

Brilliant film, fantastic acting from Pete Postlethwaite in particular.

Am I right in assuming it was based in part on actual events? Could be wrong.

On the subject of political films, this one (though more of a documentary) is absolutely brilliant. One of the most thought provoking documentaries I've ever watched, if a little depressing.

Although it looks good (and depressing as you say!) it can't be all bad in the UK. Can you imagine this type of film getting a cinema release in China, North Korea, Zimbabwe... etc.!?

I watched In The Name Of The Father last night.

Story of Gerry Conlon, purported ringleader of the Guildford Four, a group of three Irishmen and one English woman wrongly imprisoned for the 1974 IRA bombing of a pub in Guildford.

Daniel Day-Lewis & Pete Postlethwaite are outstanding.

True enough, no-one would suggest we have it as bad as all those countries but civil liberties have taken a hammering since '97 (since the start of The War on Terror in particular), and this doc exposes that brilliantly.

Borat

In the same league as anything the Pythons ever did in the 1970s. And that is one big shout. One off the funniest films I've ever seen in my life.

[Libertine]

Watching the Virgin Suicides after MOTD2.

[Fox You Forest]

Watching the Virgin Suicides after MOTD2.

Decent film that is not seen it for ages though.

I'm gonna watch 21 after Cool Runnings.

Watching the Virgin Suicides after MOTD2.

Kickass.

[The Reverend]

I've just ordered the Rambo triliogy on Blu Ray off Amazon - £20 delivered.

[lildave3]

Watching Little Miss Sunshine now. 10 minutes in.

No wonder Libertine likes it so much, he plays the brother

Haha.

Just seen a trailer for the best film title EVER!!!

"Cloudy, with a chance of meatballs!"

Link to trailer

I watched IRobot earlier. On Blu Ray. On a 42" screen. To say it was good would be an extreme understatement.

[rico]

Watched The Spirit - Rubbish!!

Also watched a new film called Traitor - very good!

[Jordan]

Been on a total Godard binge lately, and might make my way through nearly his whole œuvre over the next few months. But I'm mixing things up in between, so tomorrow Netflix will send me....

and

(edit: the film, not the soundtrack)

Hell yeah.

Martyrs

A young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity.

Sickest movie ever. It's French with subtitles.

If you like gore and films that will leave you psychologically scared, then this is for you.

Went cinema last week in Nottingham to see 50 Dead Men Walking.

Quite a long movie, really enjoyed it though. My GF didn't enjoy the torture scenes . I jumped out my bloody seat 3 times!!

Just seen a review on "Il Divo". Got me hooked. Gotta see it. Simple as.

Utterly, utterly fucked up. Why it's only a 15 is beyond me. It's a short series as opposed to a film but it deserves it's place in this thread as opposed to Watching Now?

I don't really like to talk much about "anime" because you generally tend to come across looking like a fanboi to ignorant twats who think all anime is about Naruto, Dragon Ball, Pokemon and other mass-produced rubbish.

What people fail to understand is that "anime" isn't a genre - but a medium. One that includes films of any genre the 'West' produces. This is truly something special and I'd recommend it to anyone who's appreciated the likes of Akira, Blood: The Last Vampire or the Korean digiflick 'Sky Blue'.
