Downfall. brilliant.

 

Good call on Usual Suspects

And Rise of the Foot Soldier was a much better film than I thought it would be.

 

I can't believe nobody's mentioned 'The Italian Job' the Michael Caine version of course.

 

Hackers is another one I like.

I think that is where my crush on Miss Jolie started.

the book of eli was a good film, watched it the 2nd time and spotted little things related to the twist

 

After reading the 40-plus scoobie owners thread I expected to see a few more Westerns and other 60s/70s classics in this list.

A Fistful of Dollars
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
High Plains Drifter
Once Upon a Time in the West (if you haven't seen this movie at least three times you should be taken out and shot immediately!)
Le Mans
Once Upon a Time in America
Day of the Jackal
The Poseidon Adventure
The French Connection 1 and 2
Dirty Harry trilogy
Guns of Navaronne
Escape from Colditz
Escape from Alcatraz

 

Right now, three of my favourite films come to my mind:

Shine
Kite Runner
Fightclub

On a different note, I quite like "White Man (or men, for what I remember) Can't Jump" as well. I also like Ace Ventura.

 

thank fvck i'm not the only one -- truly wonderful, movingly human film

(see Post 37)

 

It's 'white men can't jump'.

Similar era I think was Boyz in the hood, another one of my favourites.

Also Friday, an epic movie that I have seen many, many times. It's a shame the second was worse, and the third was worse still!

 

Oh, a really random film here.

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0114682

When you see the cast, you think WTF?! But it's actually not a bad film.

 

Cool!

I like another brilliant film that I forgot to mention i.e. Scent of a Woman.

 

Its Iron man you knows !!!

Don't know if you know computer games but The Book of Eli film bares a passing resemblance to Fallout 3 and Fallout New vegas.


Watched 2 films last night:-

Unstoppable 8/10 Really cool runaway train film. I'm probably biased being a train fan and US trains are my favorite.


Skyline 0/10 Sorry but this film has absolutely nothing going for it. Stunned it even got into cinemas. Feels like a low budget pilot to a Fox TV series that will be canned after the first series. Awful.

 

Ahem, there were 5

 

Specially for you

 

I agree, a great film, on so many levels.
Very simple, yet it is still quite intense.

I watched a film called 'The Kid' last night. It's based on a true story and the book was a best seller in the charts.

A truly moving film, and not for the feint hearted.

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt1371160/ - The film

http://www.milorambles.com/2010/08/2...s-book-review/ - The book

It is a real MUST SEE.

 

You tease, I can't see anything!
Just a I 'heart' moviesense banner.

 

That is a shame - it must be one of her sexiest naked shots

 

War of the worlds (original from 1953, not the Tom Cruise remake)
You can marvel at it with a trailer here http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi4260692249/

In runner up position...

Day of the Triffids (1962 version)

Bloody rubbish modern films....
