50 films to see before you die

What about "The Swamp Thing"? Crap film but has Heather Locklear in it.

City of God

On film four this friday at 23.05

Subtitled as its in portuguese so probably not everyones cup of tea but a darn good film and definately worth a watch

[samantha1303]

Veronica Guerin was on film 4 recently, another excellent film about the Irish journalist

[John]

I'll second that Glynners, it's a fantastic film.

It probably wouldn't make many peoples top 50, mine included, but me and the missus have just watched "London" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be a bit rubbish after the first 10 minutes, but it turned out pretty decent.

Blood Simple - R Emmut WAlsh

Watched one of Sergio Leone's less well known Spaghetti westerns the other day - A Fistful of Dynamite, with cracking performances from Rod Steiger as a Mexican bandit and James Coburn as an IRA bomber (it's set around 1914). Superb music as always and typically brilliant cinematography from the master, well worth checking out.

Just watched "CRASH" tonight. I didn't think it would be much good but I thought it was one of the best i've seen in a long time. Definately would make my top ten.

Is that Ennio or Hugo?

My girlfriend keeps bangin on about "Crash". They don't have it in our local rental shop, but I'm going to see if I can find a copy of it somewhere.

It's a Morricone soundtrack, brilliant and a wee bit strange in bits!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

....

C4 tonight about 9pm (I think). If you haven't seen this film yet, treat yourself - and if you have, you'll probably want to watch it again anyway!

[Bill]

Had it earmarked to watch tonight oldham. I'm looking forward to it now.

[bigcumba]

I saw it on DVd recently, it's a strange, thought provoking movie, not one for your average filmgoer... not enough car chases and explosions! Well worth seeing, and probably more than once to really get into it.

[John]

It's an incredible film. I missed it last night but I have it on DVD. Very thought provoking. :)

Memento

Watched it last night, very good, definately needs a 2nd viewing though

Am I the only person who has seen "La Vita Bella"? It is a masterpiece, truly amazing. You'll be laughing your off as he woos the girl but by the end you will be full of shock and rage and want to kill Germans. The most bittersweet ending of all time.

Forget The Green Mile / Shawshank Redemption / Reservoir Dogs or any of the other "insights into the human condition" type movies. This one id THE BEST OF ALL.
