Blue Collar

It's got Richard Pryor in it giving the (non comic) performance of his life.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077248/


In America was pretty good.

Hatchet if you like stupid gory horror films.


In america.

YES

Paddy considine..now that is a man.

ooh

Dead Mans Shoes?


i heard on radio 4 this morning that

Schindler's List is basically just a remake of Jurassic park maybe you should watch that.


No Country For Old Men

I'd go as far as to say it's the Coen Brothers best.


Really? I thought it was pretty average.

Fargo is so much better.


Fargo is proper

but the villain in NCFOM is immense. Such a stunning performance.


He's a subtle performer

It's all going on beneath the skin.


seen both of them

(i prefer no country)


good call, i'd forgotten about that

it's gone on the list


My Cousin Vinny


Six String Samurai

Post apocalyptic Las Vegas with a Buddy Holly-alike crossing the desert to claim the throne left by the death of 'The King'... like a rock n roll episode of Buffy.


IRON MAN


...

I always recommend this, but check out Pather Panchali (the first in the Pather trilogy) by Satyajit Ray. Its incredibly moving (harrowing in places), but its light on dialogue and the plot is quite loose, lots of "illuminating" scenes. It still holds together beautifully


Check out

Amores Perros
City Of God
Pans Labyrinth
The Lives Of Others
JFK
Battle Royale
Requiem For A Dream
Pi
Y tu mama tambien
Babel
Big


Everyone should watch POULTRYGEIST

the funniest, sickest film i've ever seen in quite some time.

http://www.poultrygeistmovie.com/


That trailer is pretty sick.

I now really want to see this film. I've never really got into Troma but this does look funny.


Definitely do

like I said just down there it totally wasn't what I expected from Troma.


I

thought this was fucking brilliant and I'm someone who usually thinks Troma movies are cynical b-movies with no soul.


I can't even remember what made me watch it.

Never seen a Troma film before that one, but it was funny. Even the songs in it were enjoyable. And the sex! Did i mention the sex?


Half Nelson

If you like your teachers on crack.


The lives of others

Wrestlemaniac
Hana Bi


The last 3 films I've watched:

The Edukators
Chungking Express
Buffalo 66

were all very good.


buffalo 66

is mega mega mega awesome


American Movie if lovefilm have region one.

One of the funniest films ever.


EXCELLENT MOVIE

so much material to quote.


Excellent movie

Coven actually turned up a few weeks ago on a torrent site I use... might actually grab it now.


i still cant

work out if his fat friend is for real. When he wins $50 or whatever it is on the scratch cards had me cracking up....


Mike Schank?

I really hope and think he is for real. On the website for the film they have is phone number on it.

http://www.americanmovie.com/


Ha!

One of his favourite films is Nightmare On Elm Street 2 - The one where Freddy whips someone to death with a wet towel. Gay Freddy.


i hope he is to

its nice to know that people like him exist.

nothing matters to him but beer and scratch cards.


His tale about vodka is great.

The website suggests that he is sober now.

kids in the hall brain candy
disneys beauty and the beast
buffalo soldiers
willard
comic book vilains

The King of Kong

El Topo
