Film

[Greg Truby]

Well, firstly, gotta agree with Andrew on Pulp Fiction. One of the best films ever made.

For foreign films, I'd give nods to Cidade de Deus and Kolja If you are a father of a boy and your son is anywhere around five years old, you will find Kolja absolutely fantastic.

All this Avatar switching is gonna make for very bizarre thread reading in years to come!

 

[Darren Bartrup]

For truly bizarre British films try this one: http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0064074/

It's about a man who thinks he's turning into a bed sitting room

As one review said:
Imagine if Monty Python did a lot of LSD, spent a million dollars on art direction, and then made a nuclear-apocalypse satire.

I still enjoy watching The Great Escape & Bridge Over The River Kwai, or Eastwoods "Escape From Alkatraz"

 

[MarkAndrews]

Oh I forgot to mention that i finally got round to watching "Million Dollar Baby" at the weekend (I know its been out for ages!)

What a brilliant film!

 

[Andrew Fergus]

I had to ask someone a little more knowledgeable than me but that picture is from 'The Tim Drum'.

What about a good Foreign Language Film for a change?

It got a very good write-up on imdb.com

I think one of my all-time favorites has got to be "The Usual Suspects".

Its one of those movies that sneaks up on you. You're watching it, thinking its decent, but nothing special, then the way it comes together at the end, it blows you away (well, at least it did for me -- it made an otherwise unpleasant date pretty enjoyable!).

 

[Andrew Fergus]

Agreed. That is in my list of top 5 movies.

While we're on top 5's, here's mine (in no particular order):

The Usual Suspects
LA Confidential
The Big Lebowski
Alien
All The President's Men

You're right, it was The The Tin Drum, and is very good.
