It's pissing it down outside so want something to watch after the Grand Prix.

The last films I watched and enjoyed were: Half Nelson, Teeth and Quiet City. Anything in this quirky/indie vein would be brilliant. Thanks!



  • lars and the real girl

    • seen it.

      was alright. Not a patch on Nelson mind. Keep 'em coming....

  • is teeth quirky indie?

    • yeah, I guess.

      it's pretty original and pretty dark.

  • Titanic

  • not in that vein but please watch Seven Samurai

    because it's the best film in the world.

    • i know you've all seen it n' all.

      but NAPOLEON DYNAMITE IS THE BEST FILM EVER!!!

  • The Edukators

    • ^this

      is a great film. Yet hardly anyone I know has ever seen it.

      • I've seen it

        it was good in places, quite lame in others.

        • How many places have you seen it in?

  • i so want to see quiet city.

    is it good?
    i'm watching easy rider tonight!

  • Coffee & Cigarettes

    if you haven't seen it already that is.

    Tom Waits, Steve Coogan, Iggy Pop, Bill Murray etc

    its really good.

  • Breakfast On Pluto

    • ^this

      or 'Hedwig and the angry inch'

  • It's not a film...

    but the BBC one-off drama, Threads.
    Horrifying.

  • Not quirky/indie but

    Don't Look Now. Best horror film ever surely.

    The Life Aquatic is also awesome.

  • ghostdog: the way of the samurai

    if you haven't already seen it, check it out.
    chopper and punch drunk love are also worth mentioning.

    • Ghost dog

      Is a good film.

    • chopper

      is dirt cheap as well, seen it in many a pound shop

      • absolute bargain

        can often be seen with south park the movie!

        • pound shops are great for dvds

          i've seen chopper, scum, donnie darko, sexy beast and house of 1000 corpses on the same shelf.

  • you could volunteer

    as an usher in an arthouse cinema and see lots of films for free.

  • Waiting for Guffman

    which is my favourite Christopher Guest film, yep I pretty much prefer it to Spinal Tap.

    Bottle Rocket - the first and best Wes Anderson film.

    • Two dvd's which I've bought recently

      are The man who fell to earth by Nic Roeg and The cook, the thief his wife and her lover by Greenaway. The latter is probably better than 90% mentioned in this thread. It is superb.

      • Peter Greenaway's films make me very happy

        Don't see them on DVD too often. Could do with a boxset really. Any idea if there is one?

  • anyone seen 'science of sleep'?

    thats pretty damn quirky/indie
    I really liked it but i'd imagine its not for everyone...

  • Das Leben Der Anderen

    Or The Lives Of Others, in English.

    • I'm watching this...

      now.

      • Nice...

        Hope you like it, I did when I watched it yesterday...

  • rushmore.

    or anything directed by wes anderson.

    also, me and you and everyone we know.

  • watch in bruges

    its not really in the same vein but it is probably the best film this year and very funny
