Best films of 2010 and 2011.
 
Personally i dont think its been a great 18 months, not if you like thrillers or a good story.

tony de wonderful 08 May 2011 10:56 AM

Black Swan was very good.

Jamz3k 08 May 2011 11:10 AM

Fighter for me, brilliant film.

Trout 08 May 2011 01:38 PM

King's Speech - great film

tony de wonderful 08 May 2011 01:43 PM

Greenberg was really good but more indie fair.

Also Bad Lieutenant 2 was excellent.

Generally speaking though we have had a bit of a drought of really good mainstream films.

Trout 08 May 2011 01:50 PM

Quite enjoyed the Town.

DYK 08 May 2011 02:05 PM

The most disgusting film i have watched of late was the human centipede,that movie should of been banned :mad:.A twisted sick film and just didn't like it one bit,i still watched it to the end though :(

I didn't really get into that.

i did think RED(Bruce Willis) was entertaining..
The Mechanic was ok..

Inception was very good, and one film I thought was very underrated (for anyone that enjoys a popcorn action movie) is Faster. Stars 'The Rock' and is basically a revenge movie with some good action, and good plot twists.

I liked RED. John Malkovich! :lol1:

Hysteria1983 08 May 2011 04:46 PM

The Fighter was good.

I spit on your grave (was kind of sick) but was 'interesting'.

The next 3 days.

I have watched loads lately, but I am having a bit of a blank.

I thought it was ok, but with Crank, the Transporter etc Jason is getting a bit type cast as a hit man.

He needs to do something fresh.

Favorite film of this year is probably Unstoppable.

I like trains so thats probably why I've watched it 3 times.

It was alright, but not as good as "Runaway Train" with John Voight which is was basically a remake of.

Loco 08 May 2011 06:53 PM

I thought Get Him to the Greek was surprisingly funny. Don't really rate Russell Brand as a comedian, but in this and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he was pretty decent.

Also, I quite liked The Social Network, but i think that film is a matter of taste

Hysteria1983 08 May 2011 08:01 PM

Love and other drugs was good, based on the events surrounding the pharmaceutical industry, more so hoe Viagra 'appeared'. I say appeared as it wasn't invented. It was used for sexual reasons after a similar drug was used to treat other medical problems, and the erections men got were a 'side effect'.

The film is based on a man and woman, the lady is a very young sufferer of parkinsons, and he is a bit of a jack the lad.
It's by no means a comedy romance, more of a comedy/drama.

Very good film in my opinion.

Also another I watched a few weeks back is called 'Middle Men'. A true story about two entrepreneurs who are the founders for the first pay per view porn site.

It's interesting.

Saint AAI 09 May 2011 06:34 AM

A film that didn't get good reviews, but I found quite good was The Tourist.

thesyn 09 May 2011 07:08 AM

Limitless was good

I have to say I found The Tourist extremely slow and I was waiting for something to happen to save the film but it never appeared. Just slow and a bit monotonous.

They both have trains in the film but not a remake.

Voight was an escaped convict who ends up on a runaway train with another convict and a girl - the driver dies almost straight away. Voight attempts to redeem himself by helping the girl stop the train.

Unstoppable is based on a real life incident of an unmanned runaway. In the film the train was 777 but in real life it was CSX8888. Although in real life it only got about 5 miles at about 30mph.

Watched these at the weekend.

Let me in - 5/10

Scott Pilgrim - 6/10

Zombieland - 7/10

Tron Legacy 7/10

Worst film of the last 18 months - and for some considerable time - Skyline. I give it 0/10

Would like to watch Battle LA but hear theres quite a bit "Team America - F*ck YEAH!" about it.

The one with the lad on train going back and for in time looks pretty cool.

I though let me in was good. I would give it a 7/10.

It was good to see a vampire film in a different light.
