You see, I think I've seen it then. They sat in some shack above 'cells' in the water when they play?

If so, I've seen it but certainly need to watch it again.

Commander. Download some funny shit.

Inbetweeners
Superbad
Get Him to the Greek
Project X (good until the final scene I think)
Leon
Heat
American History X
We Were Soldiers

I've watched all those recently (hence why at top of my head).
With exception of the rather excellent Leon (one of my favourite films and we even have a plant called Leon in this house), your list sucks!

Why don't you like Heat? Pacino (not that I particularly like him) and De Niro together are great.

You have no right to say that.

More to the point, Leon is funny?

I can't remember Heat - I guess it didn't make an impression.

Scamp - there is no way mine are arty or weird. A couple are British films (and therefore good) and one is best described as horrific.

I saw a good film on the plane the other day, can't remember it's name 'Inviting Evil' or something. About a black dude who turns up at someone's home then kills everyone in the village. Anyone know the name?

EDIT - found it, Meeting Evil... off to download that now.

Heat is brilliant. Think it's a Mann film so all a bit dark and quiet. Cop chasing robbers. Simple as that but quality.

Film threads are the same as book threads on here. It's a competition for who can come up with the most sophisticated / cultured / off-beat / different / 'impressive' etc.

It's like being at primary school and comparing how tall your Dad is.

The music thread went the same way... 'Upbeat' became the Verve! Next, it'll be Coldplay.

I might have said that was a good shout. Best keep quiet.

Some decent suggestions in that music thread though, my spotify has grown by a few songs.

I was taller than my Dad when I was eleven, so it never really worked for me.

Heat is also robbers chasing cops.......... which makes it even better. The scenes where De Niro and Pacino are on screen together are electrifying.

That's your opinion. If you actually bother to look into the films I suggested you'll find they are not "most sophisticated / cultured / off-beat / different / 'impressive'" - they are actually great films. Have you seen any in my list? Almost all have A list stars. All have a compelling story. All are in English (to make it easy for some folk).

I'm not picking a fight with you Sir, but you seem to be with me....

I did download 'we need to talk about Kevin' didn't get past the first 10mins... not deleted though so will try again, maybe I wasn't in the mood.

I looked at one. It was about a gay-activist politician in America.

Which might be awesome, might not be.

I'm still about 3 inches shorter than my Dad. I'll never meet his height.

I pray I don't meet his waistline.
