Movie night I reckon tonight if I can find a couple of films worth watching. I watch tons of shizz and love most genres.

Last movie I watched was Don't You Forget About Me , a docu on John Hughes.

Maybe something quirky. I like what I call 'talkies' like character driven films where you follow a character(s)through some part of their life.

I quite liked Flakes, Little Miss Sunshine, Sunshine Cleaning, that type of thing.

I've seen tons of horror but its really tough finding good ones these days. Last one I saw was the Nightmare on Elmstreet remake which I thought was dire.

500 Days Of Summer

Cheers I've seen it 11 times so far

 

[Becky O]

Splice is good .

 

[thorrnydevil]

Thanks Virgil. I've seen that too. I thought it started well but ended abit silly.

Greenberg is very quirky and strange... and very good.

I Love You Phillip Morris is pretty good.

The Boat That Rocked is great.

The Informant! is pretty good.

Cheers haven't seen any of those yet, will check them out. I have Greenberg but haven't got around to watching it.

For quirky, character driven films, you can't go wrong with the Coen Brothers. Or maybe Napoleon Dynamite. Or perhaps In Bruges.

 

[Alapa on Ellen Director]

If you can seek it out, After Hours is well worth watching.

 

[Dr. Greenthumb is famous]

In Bruge is fantastic , one of the funniest films in years .

Waitress is fab. Any other films like it?

What's that recent film about a corrupt Southern US Sheriff set in the 1950's ?

Much controversy about a scene where the director lingers as he punches a woman to death.

I can't recall it's name.

 

[gatorgirl]

The Killer Inside ?

 

[Tenshi!!!!!!!!!!]

Black Death is quite good .

sort of a cross between Witchfinder General and The Wicker Man . great cast and it goes in a direction you don't expect , also deals with some issues like misogyny in a smart way .

 

[Dimpl3z]

have you seen Sideways ? that's a really smart , funny film .

 

[doug l]

Yep 3 or 4 times. If it comes on telly I always have time for it. I think Paul Giamatti is a fantastic actor.

 

[Dave W]

Proof - with Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe. Well worth seeking out.

Julie & Julia is lovely, something very quaint about it, I wasn't expecting much at all, but was pleasantly surprised.
The Good girl with Jennifer Anniston is actually pretty good, and she acts really well in it, probably her best part I would think.
Far from Heaven is wonderful too, great story and acting.
