I watched "Funny Games" on Netflix last night.  Its a psychological thriller which is a shot for shot remake of a German film.

Its pretty disturbing and shocking in places, and there are a few moments where it breaks the 4th wall... its a little odd, but I'd say give it a watch.  Its certainly a movie for film lovers, but not for people who watch films every now and then.... and certainly not for those who think films like "I Am Number Four" is a good film ..........

Here's the trailer:

Maybe a bit of a woman's film but "We Need to Talk About Kevin" was one that was well-acted and thought provoking.

A bit too shocking for my tastes, remember seeing it on C4 years ago, a pretty nasty and sadistic film made all the more nasty by its realism rather than brainless sadistic, gore attached to a flimsy premise.  A good film in the sense that it was well acted, puts the viewer at emotional unease and is definitely thought-provoking.  However, certainly not one you'd want in your DVD collection to sit in front of with a beer and takeaway on a Saturday evening, unless you're a bit mental.

Now you listen here Rawky-dorky

I AM NUMBER FOUR is amazing !!! I encourage everyone to watch it LOL

The Perfect Get away is a great who dun it set in Hawai

Beautiful AND scary

for Tweenies maybe 

But I am . . . at heart

I've just watched Tyrannosaur.   

Very hard watching, powerfully emotional.  Sobbing most of the way through.

Wotsitabout?

One of the best films of 2011

is it a secret then?

From Wiki:

"Joseph, an unemployed widower, plagued by violence and a rage that is driving him to self-destruction, undergoes a life change after killing his dog in a fit of rage. Desperate to change his ways and get out of his unpleasant past and surroundings, he earns a chance of redemption when by chance he becomes close to local charity shop worker Hannah, a respectable wholesome and kindly Christian woman who takes pity on him, and they become close friends. However Hannah has a dark secret of her own which threatens to plunge Joseph back into his former life."

Peter Mullan also starred in Ken Loach's "My name is Joe", which I would also recommend to those who liked "Tyrannosaur"...

Oh dear - may give that a miss

The Mexican - is a great movie with Julia Roberts n Brad Pitt

Its a good story line and funny relationship thing going on

With an unexpected twist at the end

Watching The Quiet Man just now

That's a great film by John Feeney starring Marion Robert Morrison and Maureen Fitzsimons (their real names).

YES - but wot about I am number four !!!

Am i gonna have to get angry with you? 

To give Renton's 'suggestion' of a movie a chance. Here is a selection of peoples differing opinions on the film.

It should decide if you think its worth watching

Where as i believe you should decide for yourself by watching it

Are you independent of mind - or feel the need to follow other's opinions?

Be independent - be I am number four

Oh no, I go by what I feel, but others may like to see how the film is rated before they watch it.

As a film lover I will give anything the benefit of the doubt, I watched I am Number Four after all.

Some fave movies :

American Beauty

Forrest Gump

Sucker Punch

I am number four

Cool hand Luke

We shall politely agree to disagree - cos we're gentlemen

Quite.

But the fact you also list Sucker Punch as one of your favourite movies means we can't ever go to the cinema together. I hope you understand

I watched Hellboy 2 on ITV2 last night, really enjoyed it!

Its ok - i'm not gay LOL

Over the weekend, I watched Wreckers(mainly because I love Benedict Cumberbatch), but it wasn't a good film sadly.

Also saw Lars and the Real Girl, which I loved. It's not a movie for everyone, but I'd recommend it if you like quirky indie films. Ryan Gosling has become one of my fave actors recently and he shines as main character Lars.

Maybe it's because I have a toddler but I love animation just now. Laughed myself off the sofa watching Up and the other day the wee man was looking at me like I was mad coz I was crying laughing at Hop 

Up is one of the best animated films I've seen, makes me laugh and cry(those first 15 minutes floored me the first time I watched it).

Haven't seen Hop yet!

Megamind is a good one too, and Despicable Me.

Try BOLT its excellent !!

I saw the end of that film at New Year, missed most of it due to family/drink/noise

Will catch up with the whole film at some point, it did look good.

I watched an Italian film last night called "I'm Not Scared". Its about this young boy who finds a covered up, deep, hole by an old farm house and inside the hole is another young boy, chained up.

It was interesting, nothing i was expecting though.

I betcha were scared, LOL

well the odd thing is that its not a horror film, even with a title like that. Its more of a mystery drama.

^^^ he was scared

Ha ha ha !!!!

I'm watching Armageddon. The ultimate big, stupid, fun film.

Aside from your sexual frisson and banter with Renton , Sucker Punch was a good film.  I expected it to be complete shit, but was very pleasantly surprised by the imagination and imagery that went into the film.  OK, it's like a cross between a pop video, console game and a comic book, but the imagery and twists captured my imagination and I did have empathy for the characters. 

I just posted an excelllent review of HUNGER GAMES

And it didn't post properly

All my writing didn't show

Anyhoo HUNGER GAMES  was pants

Started watching it as it was the same director as Pan's Labyrinth (correct me if I'm wrong or thinking about something entirely different), which I did like a lot, but with "I'm not scared" I lost interest.  I will probably pick it up at some point but just got a bit bored.
