1.Oceans 11 - BlockBuster don't seem to have this, I think they have a problem with Warner Bros.
2.Time Machine
3.Black Hawk Down - Fell asleep to this, seemed like same old movie, different characters
4.Ali G (probably not) - Surprisingly funny. If you like Ali G humour then it's pretty good.

Go and buy the first series of the Office and laugh over and over again

I was looking forward to watching Time Machine but i fell asleep about 45 minutes into the film... total pants IMO

Ali G is very funny... must admit that i wasn't bothered about watching it but i enjoyed it none the less.

Haven't see then rest.

"Behind Enemy Lines" is a good recent film, but turn the sound up

Apart from that, not a whole lot to recommend. I've got OCeans 11 to watch later, so I'll reserve judgement on that.

Cheers

Ocean's 11 is wicked.

Time Machine never gets going.

We Were Soldiers is better the second time. I think it's better than Black Hawk Down.

I watched the Royal Tennabaums at the weekend and loved it but it appealed to my sense of humour and was shot brilliantly.

From Hell was interesting.

i know sod all about the others but saw oceans 11 last week end and wasnt too impressed too many egos trying to outdo each other and they are all easily out classed by elliot gould in a cameo role
but if you do watch it look out for the comedy dick van dyke cockaney accent by the black member of the cast i nearly spat my tea out thought he was taking the **** at first

then laugh/cringe for the next 3 hours.

Monsters Inc and Lord of The Rings are excellent too ...

anything by michael mann - heat; manhunter; thief; ali; last of the mohicans; crime story; the keep; the insider; LA takedown.

but agree with jodster - the royal tennenbaums - stonking.

It's not available to rent yet, but go and see XXX! Excellent film. I might just have to go and see it again.

Ali G is superb

Also if you want comedy and like Nation Lampoons Vacation style films then Rat Race is a great film
