Find a good film - win 50K (in Contests)

Okay I use one of those services that deliver dvds in the post like rentals and ive about a week left free of it, I have however already run out of all the films ive been meaning to watch and am now stuck.

So could you please suggest films to watch :)

If i've seen it i'll simply just add it to the list that I'll post of those seen.

First one to suggest a film I haven't seen and is worth watching (imo) wins 50K, possibly more if it's really good.


Please don't post more than one film per person

thank you! (hopefully)

Labrynth. (don't confuse with Pan's Labyrinth) (and that's how it is spelled)

One of my favourite films that I've watched this past year or so - also from one of those online dvd rental things - was The Prestige. Christopher Nolan - who directed Memento and the last Batman film - doing what he does best and confusing the hell out of me. I'm one of those irritating people who normally spots what's coming in a movie. This one had me guessing right up until the end.

Twelve Monkeys

Fallen.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0119099/

Awesome movie few have seen or heard of. Check out the cast: Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Donald Sutherland, James Gandolfini, Elias Koteas & more.

I'm afraid to tell you much about the movie as it would ruin the experience of it. The summary on the link I gave you really doesn't say anything at all. Basically, its a fantasy psychological thriller. Rest assured it is _awesome_.

Silent Hill
Snatch
Four Brothers
The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy (To get ready for Bourne Ultimatum coming this August)
Be Cool
Final Fantasy: Advent Children
Unleashed
The Departed
The Prestige
Enemy at the Gates

Or you could have fun and watch Johnnywas, =P I watched that a while ago, but couldn't understand Vinny Jones' strong accent that well.

All great films, seen them all so far though :/

Seen list (so don't recommend) :

Fallen
Labrynth
Pan's Labyrinth
Prestige, The
Twelve Monkeys

seen scum?

The Rock
Windtalkers
Driven
We We're Soldiers
Die Hard 1,2 and 3
Armageddon (sp?)
Independance Day
Schindlers List (sp?)
Apocalypse Now
Eraser

I have millions more If these don't help, Let me know.. I own over 200 DVD's..

Johnny Dangerously

Hable con ella (Talk to Her) by Almodovar is a great film
I recommend you see it

Layer Cake - http://imdb.com/title/tt0375912/

I have a great one that many have not seen.called "Blood in ....... blood out" directed by Taylor Hackford.I have the director's cut which is a little longer but an excellent movie either way.

some other movies that are great as reminders in case you might not have seen them are: Fight Club,Saving Private Ryan,Basic,Swordfish,Pay it Forward,Life as a House,I am Sam,Butterfly Effect,Seven,The Usual Suspects.

The Shinning.
Forest Gump.
Crank.

Running man.
Conan the Barbarian.

Where's my 50k for Children of Men?

Or for Equilibrium?

Here are some movies I would suggest.

Frailty
Momento
Old Boy
Skeleton Key
Unbreakable (better then Sixth Sense IMO)
The Hole
The Devil's Rejects (very violent and bloody)
Dog Soldiers (werewolf movie, a classic made in 2002)

All relatively independent films except for Skeleton Key which was highly underrated.

If I had to pick one of the above, Frailty was just a mind blowing type of movie.

A lot of people hated this but it grabbed me Angel Heart.

Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run), 1998

Franka "Raggedy Ann" Potente at her best!

Oooh! Lola! I've seen that! Pretty good... ;)

The Fountain.

Frailty was awsome btw...

But my nod has to go to...
Tony Rome

An old Frank Sinatra movie so I do not know if it is on DVD, but worth a try...

If you are a fan of older movies this is one of Frank's best...There is also a sequel The Lady in Cement, I still have not seen it, but probably very good =)

The French Connection
Fight Club
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
The Boondock Saints
V for Vendetta
Heat
Man on Fire
Training Day
Goodfellas
Reservoir Dogs
Green Street Hooligans
The Usual Suspects
Seven (Se7en)
American History X

These are visible from my collection or I thought of them quickly.

Josh got some of my favroites. >_<

But if you like non-mainstream black comedies,
Secretary.
Also:
Zoolander
A Clockwork Orange
Pulp Fiction

I am the voice in Ranger's head. He recommended seven of the eight films that I was going to recommend.

Whisper, whisper, whisper.

Bladerunner
Shawshank Redemption
The Machinist

Just I few I didn't see listed that I really enjoyed myself. Most of the other ones are great too. Advent Children reminded me of countless hours that I spent in my room playing FF7.

Some of my favorites (posting more than one because I don't care about the prize):
-Seven Samurai (Kurosawa)
-2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrik)
-Apocalypse Now (Coppola)
-Ikiru (another Kurosawa)
-Red Dwarf Series 1 (it's not a movie, but it's on DVD)

eraserhead

Requiem for a dream

Snatch

If you're into children killing each other you should see Battle Royale and Battle Royale II. (Yes, both of the clans were named after the films.)

adaptation is a superb film about a filmmaker making a film about a book...

Waking Ned Devine

(WARNING THIS MOVE IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE)
meet the feebles [early Peter Jackson]

Somewhere In Time

Tombstone (if you haven't seen it, then I would suggest that you get this one)
Invincible
Walk the Line
Hustle and Flow
Glory

SubUrbia

Catch me if you can.

Snatch
Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.

Wayne's World (1 and 2).

Seven (that's the word "Seven" with the number "7" in place of the "v". The spell checker won't let me spell it the correct way. It's the one with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman)
The Game
(both directed by the same guy)

If you are looking for compelling movies with interesting and different plots try these:

• Y tu mamá también (And Your Mother Too) (rated R) - Drama, political, coming of age, not for kids!
• Carne trémula (Live Flesh) (rated R) - Drama, romance, thriller, not for kids!
• Dr. Strangelove (rated PG) -Great funny, dark and scary movie at the same time, must see!
• The Warriors (directors cut or whatever) (rated R) - Great action thriller flick
• The Woods(rated R) - Supernatural mystery, horror, thriller
• Dark City (rated PG-13? R?) - Mystery, sci-fi, thriller

I was just about to recommend Dark City!

poolhall junkies! my favorite film!

Spirited Away by

The Game as dukethor suggested, probably one of the best movies in this post.

sorry, don't really know how to use the spell check tag, but e post is suppose to be

"Spirited Away by Hayao Miyasaki"
note that this is a Japanese animation

If you haven't seen it yet watch Hot Fuzz. I've just finished watching it and I laughed myself stupid!

i might be off-topic here, sorry for that, but how do you use the spell check tag? i used it with my 1st post here and part of my post disappeared.

id say A Clockwork Orange, but its an extremely demented movie which stems from the great book. definately worth watching if you can handle the strangeness.

battle royale are great, i've seen both on you tube. good stuff.

You must turn on HTML in the "Reply text is:" box, then put <nospellcheck> in front of what you want the spell checker to not check, followed by a </nospellcheck> after it.

Versus
or alternately "Ultimate Versus" since it has 2 bonus discs as well and an extra 10 minutes of footage.

28 days later and Leon are my favourite films in the world, followed by The Crow, Interview with a vampire and 300 :) As the one I's reccommend, definately Leon, Jean Renault is masterful

Birdman of Alcatraz

i completely forgot to mention Babel.
quite an interesting movie id say.

If your DVD place has "A Boy And His Dog" rent it. Barzoo's user pic has just reminded me of it. It's a 1970s black comedy science fiction 'post apocalypse' movie with a young Don Johnson and a telepathic dog. Don Johnson's character is a scavenger prowling the nuclear wastelands, living day to day hand to mouth with his best friend the dog Blood. It's based on a short story by Harlan Ellison.

Probably already seen it but
Mulholland Drive

LoL! Loads of mine have already been sugested. Still got two left! ;)

13th Warrior.

Story of an Arabic Poet who is exiled to a community of 'Northmen'. While there, they receive news of trouble back home, and the wise women states 13 warriors must return.

When they get to the 13th, she cries out that he must be no northman. So they drag the Poet along. ;)

Fantastic viking romp!

Ghost Dog, Way of the Samuria

Brilliant Black comedy. An American Kid, enraptured by the Japanese culture offers himself to a Mafia gangster as a Samurai, after the Gangester saves him from a beating.

Years later the Mafia (now all old fat men) set him up, and he goes to town getting revenge. ;)

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245844/

"The Wall"

There is a French movie called "Banlieue 13" that is quite good. In the U.S., it's called "District B13." I don't know if it's named differently in Britain, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, etc., nor can I think at the moment where you are from. You can probably find it on imdb.com, though.

Another movie I would recommend is the new Transformers one that just hit theaters two weeks ago. But that obviously isn't available for DVD rental just yet.

Might as well throw some others in, just in case they weren't said:
The Transporter
The Transporter 2
Batman Begins
Liar Liar
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
UHF
Young Frankenstein
Next (not sure if it's on DVD yet...)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (of course)
School for Scoundrels
Casino Royale
Big Lebowski

I don't doubt you've probably seen almost all of these, if not all, but that's my top list of movies I can think of right now that haven't been mentioned yet. If I can give you just one new favorite movie, I'm glad.

Kung Pow

Best spoof film I have ever seen.

I second Kung Pow!

Die Hard
or Meet the Feebles. Peter Jackson did that. It is a musical with muppets. However, not. Craziest thing I have ever seen.

Bubba Ho Tep

So, myth, we have an end-game in sight for this contest? So far I haven't seen any winners.

methinks myth is watching movies!

You have a tortuous list ahead of you Myth.

Taegukgi - korean war movie.
Very good and the 75th highest grossing movie of 2005 if that means anything.

Oh if nobody mentioned the crow, watch that.

Princess Mononoke (V. well done animated film by the same guy who did Spirited Away)
