I'm about to watch "Eat Drink Man Woman" (again).
OK, not must see, but 4/5

I didn't see Clockwork Orange (yes really) until just recently so I'll add that, and recommend the former.

For science buffs I cannot recommend Primer enough. You'll need to watch at least twice, best time travel movie ever.

Crank is a must see. Very fast and non stop action.
Also liked Welcome To The Jungle and Walking Tall with The Rock.
Lords Of Dogtown. Big Wednesday.
Shark Tale is another must see. Heaps funny and I just love Ernie and Bernie

Cant forget Pulp Fiction, Godfather & Happy Gilmore

Fight club
The Blues Brothers
American History X
The adventures of Ford Fairlane
Shaun of the Dead

Daddy would you like some sausage, daddy would you like some sausages

Down by Law......Jim Jarmusch,Tom Waits ( Not the shoes !)



Clockwork Orange......Kubric (Sharpens you up for a bit of the old "Ultra Violence! )

2001 Space Odyssey....Kubric (Ape throws bone into the air)

Taxi Driver.......Scorcesie, De Niro( Have you got a gun? Suck on this!)

Mean Streets.....Scorcesie, De Niro ( Johnny Boys entrance to "Jumpin' Jack Flash)

Jackie Brown ....Tarantino (De Niro,a bong and Bridget)


Snatch.....D'ye lick dags ? (do you like dogs ? )

Life of Brian ...Monty Python (say no More !)

Holy Grail.......Python ( Thats no ordinary rabbit !)

Mars attacks ............

Oh,and before "Pulp Fiction" there was "Mystery Train"

Can't go past Evil Dead one,two and Army Of Darkness(three).Good wholesome family entertainment.
This is my BOOMSTICK!!

For lots of violence: A Man Apart (which just happens to be on tonight)

For a cult classic: Rambo. Started a whole lot of things copycat wise
Alternatively, Terminator. Very very good for it's time and still watchable today 24 years later. Yes it has been 24 years!

Cop flick that started them all: Dirty Harry. (I only watched it for the first time a few months ago and recognised so many ripoffs in new movies like die hard terminator etc etc. It seems Dity Harry was the originator)
Good flick anyway.

Ripper effects: chase scene in last Matrix film or Terminator 3 chase scene

Best porno: Aah they're all OK.

Natural Born Killers or Tank Girl.
Two Hands or Seven.

There are so many my few would be
The godfather
Shawshank redemption
Clockwork orange
No country for old men, The big Lebowski and all the Coen brothers films
There will be blood
Little miss sunshine
American Gangster
The Exorcist

....where do you stop

Some good films there. I did think There will be blood was a little over-rated and it seemed to lose it's way towards the end. No country for old men - awesome.

The quiet American

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Raising Arizona

Finally saw Juno on the weekend - very good and as good as the hype for a change.


Ha ha - I saw Natural Born Killers and Clockwork Orange both for the 1st time on a double billing years ago... Clockwork was 2nd and it seemed more like a comedy after Killers. Must have been shocking in it's day but a bit naff and a bit "We all dropped some tabs and thought of a great idea for the rape scene..."

Not kn wrong. The Cohen Bros are in a league of the own and make most filmakers look formulaic (er spullin?) boring and lazy.

No country was just too good. Starts with mega violence, but the film gets more and more tense, even though the visual violence gets less as the film progresses. That is outstandeing filmaking and more filmakers should take note of the Cohen's methods... or just make another cr@polla 're-imagining' (read: worse than the original but more SFX this time) of a stock standard 90 minute stupifier...

Javier Bardem is a real talent too..(check out The Sea Inside - awesome preformance) He makes Deniro look like the once great but now lazy goofnall he has become.

Hey - also check out Jamon Jamon, Javier is good but Penelope Cruz get her puppies out every other scene too!! Ha ha - it can't always be about the pacing, dialogue and lighting!!

is one person just going through all these posts and clicking the thumbs down button? "whats with all the negative waves???" (donald sutherland at his very best i might add)...

all of the films aforementioned are o.k., but none can mach the cinematic mastery, drama and the performances of woody harrelson and bill murry in the EPIC

KINGPIN!
