I loved the way he actually ran out of ammo (and not just for the sake of the plot) and eactually picked up discarded weapons to use.

I also liked that we didn't get his back story, 15-30 minutes of him being trained, being on an op in a flashback.

Just a very "real" guy that was a bit handy and was trained and the fact went light on the "Hollywood Magic" was refreshing.

Oh and Stu - the DSA do some good DVD's - they probably cover what to do if you clip another vehicle and what the Red Circle with the White Horizontal Line means :)

You've probably seen some of them, but theyre worth a second watch!

[Stu]

TakenIf it hadn't been for all the comments below, I thought you meant you had taken advantage of the promotion code :D
You mean Liam Neeson? not steven Spielberg?
I've never heard of it, but I had actually already chosen it as one of Lovefilm's recommendations - I'll look forward to it all the more now, hope it doesn't disappoint with all this build up :D

Taken!
Man on fire - One of my all time favs
Tropic thunder - yup on my list :)
Madagascar 2 - seriously? suppose I should see 1 first as well then

In Bruges. Best film I've seen in ages.
Added :)
+1
the green mile ~(i just watched it lol) - seen a couple of times :)
dogma (its odd its weird its very funny) - Added (lowest priority) :p
hot fuzz - on my list, only seen bits of it before somehow IIRC
usual suspects - Added

Bad Boys 2!got it on SKY+

tis a close call for me, love 'em both!Same as all sequels, they get better, but the shock factor of the first one can't be repeated therefore original is best (even if subsequent ones are better :))

Pineapple Express.Seen :)

american history x
garden state
1408
groundhog day
goodfellas

You've probably seen some of them, but they're worth a second watch!Nope none except maybe parts of groundhog day - so I think I'll give your recommendations a wide berth til I'm more desperate :p


I take it the Blue Ray version won't work in my DVD player? :smt102

[Sosha]

Taken - Kind of Like a Steven Segal with less plot....

[metalmonkey]

Do you have a blue ray player? If you don't it won't work....I have seen people try all maner of things to make play back units work, including somehow getting 2 tapes into a digi beta deck:rolleyes:

[Viney]

There are some fantastic lines in Madagascar and pt 2.
Add to the list (As said, you may have already seen them)
The Bourne series
Worlds fastest indian
Stardust (just for DeNiros performance)
Ronin
Shoot em up
Vantage point
We own the night
Run Fat boy Run
Street Kings
21
Crank

Just going through my recent lovefilm list.

[BigFootIsBlurry]

The Machinist
Blow
Dogma (already mentioned but deserves to be in twice)
Dylan Moran: Monster (funniest stand up I've seen in ages)
American Psycho


All excellent and little left field.

"Brick"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(film)

Its a bit strange, actually Liz said it was "****e" but theres something about it that catches me and I've watched it loads of times and I really enjoy it.

Another film in a similar odd sort of vein is "The Ice Storm"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ice_Storm_(film)

I really enjoy the black and white War films from the 50's "Ice Cold in Alex" is an absololute corker

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cold_in_alex

I also like Biopic's

the Johnny Cash one "Walk the Line" is my favourite, with the Ray Charles one "Ray" a close second.

[Stu]

Awh, I was just getting excited to check out your recommendations til you said Ray. Saw it on the telly & could take it or leave it. although I was on the 'Net so probably not paying attention :smt102

Give it another try, its really well done and Jamie Foxx is really good in it and its one hell of a story.

[Stu]

Might still have it on Sky+ But it's loooooooooong :roll: :razz:

[El Saxo]

The Escapist (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0961728/)

Just watched it & it's a fantastic film!

Oh and FWIW, avoid The Crew - utter drivel.
