Default You have 60 mins to help me choose a DVD to watch tonight

Leaving work at 4:30 so you have about an hour to help me choose a dvd to watch tonight.

Options I have looked at include:

Fantastic 4 - Only for fit woman as I have heard the film is poooooo
Dark Water - Hmmm maybe
Crash - Probably not
War of the worlds - Seen it before but thought it was good

I have recently watched Batman Returns, Mr and Mrs Smith, 40 year old Virgin and The cave so they are out.

Any suggestions?

Actually really liked F4. Unpretentious light-hearted action flick with a bit but not too much wonderful American patriotism. Torch steals the show, he's a right laugh.

Crash is meant to be great.

Have you seen the butterfly effect? if not rent that, alternatively if your looking for something new, how about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? not seen it myself yet but looks OK.

Im tempted to pick up the skeleton key tonight though, that looks good

Another vote for F4 -- no moralising, just action

Failing that, Eraserhead.

Constantine - Liked it a lot
Butterfly Effect - Liked it a lot.
Sin City - Hmmmm didnt really like the film but like the way it was done.

Was looking towards a newish film cause I tend to watch quite a few.

I usually like films that are action or comedy so looks like it may be the F4 tonight then.

Thanks for all you replies

Do not watch 'Dark Water' - Possibly the worst film I've seen this year.
