Class film that.

My recommendations would be as follows, some of which are pesky foreign subtitled films:

Infernal Affairs - Cantonese. Remade into The Departed but this is a far better film IMO
13 - Tzameti - French. Most nailbiting concept for a film...I'll leave the rest for you to discover
Reqieum For A Dream - Drug film with a difference, concerning more than just narcotics, directed by Aronofsky
Tunes Of Glory - Classic tense drama with Mills and Guinness
Sexy Beast - Gritty Brit gangster film, Ray Winstone & awesome Ben Kingsley
Chinatown - Jack Nicholson, directed by Polanski, great detective thriller
The Insider - Pacino, Crowe, true story corporate thriller
Raise The Red Lantern - Mandarin. Probably my favourite foreign film, truly amazing and politically charged

Obviously, I don't see the point of watching a dubbed foreign film.

Anime series in particular are ruined by dumb american accents!

I totally agree.

The Langoliers

Very surreal or just plain weird, can't decide. Show's just how warpped Stephen King's mind is!

+1 for that ... awesome soundtrack too

although, if like me, you bought the soundtrack on CD then you may be a little disappointed by one of the tracks - "Everybody knows" ... it's NOT the same version that is used in the movie!!!!

Anyway ... here's my recommendation ... Secretary
Bit of a weird/risque (and slightly disturbing at times) movie, but well worth it.

TWIN TOWN

Watched Severance last night funnily enough, amusing in parts but pretty rubbish to be honest.

I like;

Saw 1 / 2 / 3
Hostel 1 & 2
Hills have eyes 1 & 2
Twin Town
American History X
Scum (Watched the other day, good film!)
Old School
40 yr old Virgin
Snatch
Lock, Stock...
Shooter
The Wrong Turn
Texas Chainsaw Massacre & the beginning

Wanna see American Gangster too at some stage!
