Have only seen three of those I think, being John malkovich, the big Lebowski and oldboy though I might be confusing oldboy with another odd Asian film (there are a few,,after all) gotta watch Dr Strangelove already. Thanks for some interesting choices.. not that everybody else was dull. Thanks to all.

have seen a couple of Woody Allen's but the names don't stick. Take the money and run; is that with the cookie store/chain? Loved that one whatever it's called.

Meh

triple post sowy

Wings of Honneamise, anime movie about the first guy to go into space. It's really a marvellous movie, just totally great. Not popular for some reason, maybe cuz it's a bit slow, but still, fantastic movie, great animation, great soundtrack.

Not exactly that great a recommendation, it being presumably very well known but anyways.. Last film I sawwas "man on fire", I found it quite compelling. Some torture scenes and not exactly a cheery film but quite good.

Again, this is just a glorified bump though

Unleashed - as if you didn't know that already.

Erm, what else.... This is Spinal Tap! Watched it with MONKEY a couple or so weeks ago. Funny but I don't quite know why. It just, is.

I'm not sure if this counts since it's really a TV series, but 'Sherlock!' is incredible! More like a series of movies than television really. Super brainy.

Blade Runner. That movie is EPIC!! !

I wasn't a fan of Blade Runner; it strayed too far from the book on which it was based, for my liking .

The Departed
American Gangster
