Oops!

Yes, it was the Ricky Gervais one. It was good, so there!

(Why am I not allowed to like anything he does now? )

 

[First on the way!]

I agree with District 9- not usually a fan of this kind of thing- but it's very good. Zombieland with Woody Harrelson is quite funny- and doesn't have a lot of gore.

I'd also recommend Coraline and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs if you like animations.

Me too! If not Stand by me, go for the Goonies.

I also thought Ghost Town was quite good

Another vote for District 9 and Shaun of the dead here. In the name of the Father and The Green Mile are also must watch and the latest Star Trek is well done too.

Sci-fi.
Contact...Starring Jodie Foster.....13yrs on and still one of my favourite films....Excellent 10/10
Cloverfield....Not normally the sort of film I`d watch....but I loved it....8/10
Moon/Pitch Black....Moon....a slow burner...Pitch Black...action Sci Fi
Solaris....Starring George Clooney....The thinking mans Sci-fi

Zombie...I know it`s not your cup of tea....but give...
Pontypool a go......There`s no real gore and there are no Zombie`s to be seen except for one short scene and it`s not scary....but it`s tense and a very novel approach to the genre.....original and different....Just take a moment to read a few reviews and you`ll see what I mean....I really rate this film....9/10

Comedy
Shawn of The Dead.....ok it`s a Zombie film...but it`s really a comedy....and a very funny one at that...11/10

Classic
Shakespear In Love....you`v probably seen it on the box...but if not it`s well worth a view....9/10......Likewise Elizebeth...starring Cate Blanchett

The Shepherd.....Starring Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon....saw this on BBC 2 a month or two ago....I was hooked from the off.....It`s about how working for the CIA affected the personal lives of the Agents....a lot better than my very brief description....I promise
Excellent 9/10

O Brother Where Art Thou? - a funny film with George Clooney

We enjoyed Stranger than Fiction, In Bruges and Veronica Guerin. And, though it's aimed at teenagers, Angus, Thongs and Furious Snogging (or similar!) was very enjoyable and felt like a British classic comedy. I'd also recommend My Beautiful Launderette, Prick Up Your Ears, the Little Girl that Lived Down the Lane, the Color Purple, the Page Turner, the Constant Gardener and loaRAB of old black and white films, such as Double Indemnity, Tiger Bay, Taste of Honey, Dead of Night etc. Anything (virtually) with Isabelle Huppert.

 

[Uh-Huh!]

Not the "dumbed down" version though. The original.



Oh my gosh, yes indeed it is. Love that movie.



Wasnt as fond of that as I thought I would be considering it featured George Clooney.

I can't think of films off the top of my head but rottentomatoes has helped me if I want to have an idea if a film will be good or not and I've searched there for new films in categories that I like.
