If anyone hasn't seen them and has a bit of time on their hands, the Rush Hour films and Friday (first one only) are classic Chris Tucker - I still laugh after watching them all on several occasions.
Forgot to include 'Requiem for a Dream' in my earlier list too.Last edited by Dinkydoo; 01-02-2012 at 06:13 PM.

In general terms, I would recommend Hot Fuzz (have to watch it a few times to get all the jokes), Heat, Seven, Dogma, Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Van Wilder, Batman Begins and the first of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes films (it's brilliant).

Films that I'd recommend:
Bloodsport. JCVD at his finest and Bolo Yeungs pecs are a separate character.
Predator. Genius and the first real fusion of action and suspense.
The last dragon. Bruce Leroy...the black Bruce Lee faces up to the shogun of Harlem and his gang...and wins!
Trading places. Funny on every level...and especially in today's economic climate. Probably may favourite.
Animated ones I'd recommend would be Up and Despicable me.

Batman Begins is really good but I think The Dark Knight was better.
You can't go wrong with a bit of Die Hard With A Vengance or Terminator 2.

I liked The Dark Knight but felt it was maybe 30 mins too long. I preferred Batman Begins as I like prequels and I felt it did a good job of showing the creation of the character. Plus Bale and Neeson were very good together.
Die Hard With A Vengeance is a classic.

I watched The Help last night, now that was a good film, thought provoking and a decent amount of humour too.

List could be endless.
Most of mine have been mentioned already
Fight club
The dark knight
Its a wonderful life
DHWAV
Field of dreams
Amelie
Bourne Trilogy
Favourite animated move - Finding Nemo
Favourite western has to be the classic - The Searchers
If I was only allowed to watch one film ever again though, it would have to be the awesome......
Shawshank Redemption - absolutely love it.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I'm on the 14.99 a month deal, you can get unlimited rentals and streaming, plus Xbox, Ps3, Wii, PSP, DS games etc, you get 3 discs at home at a time, no late fees etc, I watch a lot of films so find 14.99 a month to be a pretty good deal considering I'd probably spend more than that on DVD's/Games if I didn't rent them. You can drop down to 2 discs at home at a time for £11.22 a month.
I've heard of people saying the films go missing in the post etc, but I guess that will happen from time to time, they haven't missed a beat with me though, whenever I've sent a film back I've got a new one through the letterbox within 2 days. I usually send old ones back on Thursday and have new ones through on Saturday in time for the weekend.
Think I might have a couple of '2 months free' offer codes, if anyone fancies one just drop me a pm.Last edited by The_Exile; 03-02-2012 at 09:40 AM.

I didn't really understand the part about the land. If the Trust was having to dissolve in seven years anyway, it sounded like he was just going to waste the next seven years fighting a legal battle when he'd just had the lack of relationship with his daughters highlighted for him.
Not seen The Help, but might suggest it next time it's her choice....sounds a better option than War Horse.

I found it to be an extremely chilling ending - probably one of the scariest I've seen. Brilliant film though IMO.
