Pride & Prejudice (2005)

For the ladies in your family. Maybe some of you have seen it, but I had never heard of it.
I was on the edge of my seat, romance is usually boring. A popular book I hear.

Def. on my top 10 list.

Just got done watching - DOWNFALL.

Fucking phenomenal.

This is becoming one of the best movie threads I have ever seen :)

Keep em' coming people.

For those who didn't see The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford, I really do suggest you give it a chance (I didn't want to either).

It was Andrew Dominik's second movie after CHOPPER with Eric Bana and Roger Deacons shot the cinematography (shoots all the coen brother movies) and Sam Rockwell was in it.. Fucking shocking how good it was in my opinion, don't miss it even if you hate brad pitt like me.

lol everyone has it's own opinion and it seems that people generally disagree with you on this. The movie has positive reviews everywhere.

"Withnail and I" - if you like smokin while your watchin - its british funny and dark!!

oh and "Taxi" - the original french version with subtitles - way better than the american one - hes hot as fuck!!

Equilibrium is TERRIBLE.

Swingers is a really good film. Vince Vaughn in his early days

:thumbsup

-Mongol was great
-Felon was great
-Snatch love it also lock stock and 2 smoking barrels same director, Guy Ritchie(?) I belive is his name - Madonna's husband, anyway
-Equilibrium great, better than Matrix
-Event Horizont also a great movie
-Hell Ride, Quentin Tarantino need I say more?
-The man from Eatrh - a great movie but you have to really pay attention to it while watching, got me thinking if it really was possible for something like that to happen

You need to look harder!

Type into google: le diner de con download




.

Any flick that ends with a creampie.

It was good, but it could have easily been 90 minutes shorter without losing even a touch of the feel they were going for.

The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford was a tedious movie to watch.

For the horror fans:
Dog Soldiers
Ginger Snaps
Sunshine (more sci-fi thriller)
Hard Candy

A really good period piece: The Prestige

^^^ loved this one, I thought I was the only one in the World that has seen it ;)

RISE AND FALL OF IDI AMIN

A good movie to watch while drinking (lots of) beer with your friends.

A few great comedys:

Kung Pow
Defending your Life
Army of Darkness
Teeth (dont think its supposed to be a comedy but I laughed my ass off)

so many great choices on here that would also be on my list...
here are a few others:

Battle Royale
Visitor Q (need a strong stomach and a REALLY open mind for this flick)
The Eye (the original)
Hard Candy

some good movies here :thumbsup

Better than the Matrix? Are you smoking crack or meth? Although on the box they compare the two, in reality that comparison is akin to discussing the similarities between a turtle and a plane crash. The Matrix is groundbreaking in terms of direction and cinematography while Equilibrium has a decent idea for a movie and that's about it in my opinion.

Yeah i want to see MONGOL!

Trust me on this...

If you want to watch Battle Royale, read the book first. Don't let the thickness of it deture you. I know lots of people say the book is better, etc. It gets annoying even though it is the truth most of the time. This movie is no exception. The leave out so much and the book does a better time describing the event than the movie does. I'm sure if they made this today they could do a better job, but this version just doesn't do justice to such a fast paced and twisted story.

You are right. Come to think of it in the end I liked Matrix more beacuse of the cinematography as you said but the ideea was more plausable for Equilibrium... anyway...
What did you think of the rest?

Hey guys don't stop posting! Keep them coming. Lately I haven't found any good movies but now I got something.

I liked the ideas in the movie I just think they spent too much time worrying about the action and neglected the rest of the movie and for that it really suffered. Parts were really slow and relied much too heavily on the story to drive it. I think they needed to make the choice between an action movie or something with substance. Somehow the Matrix bridged this gap but that probably has to do with the fact that the Matrix probably had the budget and minds to see that through while the makers of Equilibrium did not but thought they'd defy the odds. Despite all this, I think it was still a decent movie, just not on the same level as the Matrix, but then again that is a pretty high standard to try to achieve (which is proven by the epic failures that were the second and third instalments of the Matrix).

The largest difference between The Matrix and Equilibrium was BUDGET.

Don't forget that, has much to do about everything.

Keep the good movies coming please :)

If you're a fan of Bruce Campbell, then you simply must see Bubba Ho-Tep. I can't belive I forgot to mention that one earlier. And of course Evil Dead and Evil Dead II.

And on the topic of Elvis impersonantors..

3000 Miles To Graceland with Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell.

A few good ones....
Cube (Canadien)
Like Water for Chocolate (Mexican)
Y Tu Mamá También (Mexican)
The Celebration (Danish)
The Idiots (Danish)

I'd have to disagree. Equilibrium cribbed way too hard from 1984 and Brave New World. Was the Matrix entirely original? No. But 1984 and Brave New World are highschool syllabus books and are foundation learning for a lot of people. It gets to the point where if you see one new movie/book with a version of Soma you want to punch the screen/page because you feel like you're watching a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy and may as well be just watching it for the gunplay.. so really, any straight to dvd (which i think it was) Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal movie. It was just wrapped up in a setting that borrowed interest from other more interesting and literate works.
If you want to compare the Matrix to something, try Dark City... Although they were released far too closely together for Matrix to be a ripoff. They were probably in filming at the same time.

It's pretty interesting.. the public restroom scene was pretty hardcore.

I still can't find a proper Dîner de cons, Le download with english subtitles.

I just checked out 2 recommendations from this thread (Tropa de Elite & Mongol), both were amazing.

Just more proof that the population requires cleansing. It was terrible in every aspect. Really really terrible.

Layer Cake

Those down under may know...Bad Boy Bubby

Rashomon, Koyaanisqatsi, Chac, Dersu Uzala, and Zazel.

That was the best movie of 2007. It showed how hard it is to be around someone who is a terrifying sociopath. Seems very slow, but there's so much going on. Probably the most uncomfortable I've felt watching a flick in a long time.
