View Full Version : Recommend me a DVD
So if Law can ask you to recommend him an album, I can ask you to organise my life and recommend me a DVD.
Now, just so I don't get any way out recommendations like those bandied about in law's thread, I've decided to reveal my previously rented list:
16 Blocks 24 - Season 5 Borat - Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Bratz: Rock Angelz Casino Royale The Departed Easy Rider Fast And The Furious, The -Tokyo Drift Jackass The Movie - Number Two Miami Vice Mission Impossible 3 The Motorcycle Diaries Rab C.

From that list - go to HMV, blindfold yourself in the DVD department wander around for a bit and pick a disk at random.
Wont end up with anything worse than is in the list
Old boy, seriously strong stuff from Korea, well worth a look.

Yep, quite interesting, although a mate had 'hyped' the film as a 'must see'.
Not quite that imo.
I just need to get Thomas the Tank engine series 2-4... 1 and 5 where great.
Ringo Star rules...

If you dont mind reading subtitles check out 'Sympathy for Lady vengance' same director as Old boy, good stuff

Old Boy is the best of the Trilogy, I actually found Lady Vengeance rather boring apart from the awesome "main" scene. But there are better oriental films around, try Battle Royale, Ichi the Killer, Story of Ricky, Versus. Ong Bak is awesome too! I am a big fan of gore and zombie films, I have a large collection.

Yeah , lady vengance does go a bit quiet in the middle but worth sticking with for the end I reckon, have seen a few of the others. Love all this new wave of jap horror and korean nutter films, different from all the usual hollywood crap. Used to subscribe to film 4 and they used to show some truly bizzare stuff now they are just mainstream.
Hence the list at the start. :razz: I hate sci fi, I hate marshal arts films I hate crouching tiger and the like, althogh I liked Kill Bill & Last Samauri (but are they much more Western) So am I going to like Old Boy?
Last King now added to request list thanks,
Hot Fuzz not out yet (added to reserve list)
Minimatt & Plowsie - seen & enjoyed
Mulholland Drive? Pans labyrinth? A Very Long Engagement.?

Old boy isnt martial arts, more of a thriller than a kung fu, mullholland drive is a david lynch film , if you get david lynch you will love it if not a fan its still pretty good with a brilliant twist.

I'm hoping that you've already watched it before since it's so good, but...............
LEON (preferably the directors cut as ever).
Super film that.

Top film - Is that the same as the International version (includes about 20mins extra footage)?
If you don't mind subtitles, Batoru Rowaiaru (Battle Royale) is worth a watch

Another vote for Pan's Labyrinth here. Brilliant film with lots of layers of meaning. Considerable violence too, if that appeals to you.

Another couple of suggestions - not brand new but well worth watching.
The Machinist - Christian Bale thriller - very good!
Night Watch - Russian fantasy / horror film, if you're into that kind of thing.

the machinist- excellent
night watch - different, but well worth a watch
You've prob seen but still good anyway.
Heat.
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner"
Well, my faves to add to the mix are:
Gattaca
South Park, bigger, longer, uncut
Fight Club
Aliens Dir ed.
Sean of the Dead
Empire Strikes Back Special ed
Godfather II
& finally, Welcome to the party pal:
Die Hard
Try one of those, everyone a winner!

Die Hard
'Yippekiyay Mother******!' 8)
Can't wait for Die Hard 4!!!
so far the sequels this year have been pretty good:
Rocky VI
Pirates of the Carribean
actually spidey III was a bit pants...but Rambo IV looks good & yeah, can't wait for Die Hard IV.
ah, and I'll be taking my friends kids to Shrek III!
