Any recommendations for a dvd to watch?
 
Having a quiet few days at home with OH. We watched No Country For Old Men and thought it was excellent, then American Gangster also good but what next? We used to go to the cinema alot but have lost touch in the last 18 months. Did we miss any good movies?
We've already seen Little Miss Sunshine....a great heartwarming film. Also As It Is In Heaven.
Have heard great stuff about Atonement but they have all been from females. Is that a film a man would enjoy too?
Off to the DVD place later today so all recommendations will be welcome.

Atonement was wonderful and I think a man would enjoy it too.

I could have written your post myself - we too watched No Country for Old Men just the other night. How about I am Legend? Haven't seen it myself but really fancy it. Also saw Iron man recently, which was good for a laugh and definitely more of a bloke's movie.

Quite a p^ss poor copy (read plagerism) of the Australian version with Michael Clayton and Paul Hogan IMO. Also I'm sure that "I Am Legend" was a remake of the Charlton Heston film "The Omega Man".
