Recommend a film

Me and the gf are indecisive at the best of times, and can't decide out of the 500 films on Filmflex what to watch.

So i was hoping for some pointers, and we don't want to watch a romantic film.
You have an hour whilst I cook dinner- so help me out!

stars and water carriers

details

i havent seen it but one day maybe

the lives of others.
boring cover. sounds boring when you read the cover notes great film.

Shit man....what you in the mood for? Dark? Sci-fi? Light entertainment? Suspense?

Ideas from me are...

Dark City
Cite des enfants perdus
Old Boy (Chan Sook Park)
The Last Supper

Hmm...2 of those have Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman kicks ass.

I've Loved You So Long (Philippe Claudel, 2008). Kristin Scott Thomas acting rather than just looking beautiful; a really interesting and different film.

Elite Squad (Jose Padhila, 2008). Brazilian slum drug slime and super-tough cops. A bit of a shoot 'em up, but very good. It passed the my-mrs-didn't-walk-out test.

Donkey punch

+1 to elite squad thats a wicked movie

City of God if you're in the mood for Brazilian gangster flick...

Must look up Elite Squad

Chocolat is a great film.

she hates city of god- and 'those types of films'
I was trying to suggest Cass- as I read the book, but she was having none of it.
Ahh for the days I cared about football.

edit- right I'm gonna go cook.

'Tell No-one' (Ne le dis à personne)

A very thrilling French thriller. A high quality (i.e. not cheap and shit) film.

Ronin

Ronin - One of the greatest car chase scenes ever....good flick - shame about the ending

+1 to Tell No-one. Superb!

Or try Mad Detective (Johnnie To/Wai Ka Fai, 2007). Looks like another Korean splatterfest. And very nearly is.

thank you for smoking!

I quite liked Inside Man, but I'm boring.

Donkey punch

ha!
eden lake
the children
martyrs
mum and dad

+1 on Ronin, awesome film, and Natasha McElhone's accent is pretty hilarious.

Shawshank redemption is always good.
Or no country for old men.

Wall Street...

+1 on Ronin, awesome film, and Natasha McElhone's accent is pretty hilarious.

So it is..

the lives of others.
boring cover. sounds boring when you read the cover notes great film.

This was absolutely the best film I saw in 2007... stunning.

You're a bad man Murtle, repeatedly recommending Eden Lake. Did not sleep well after watching that.

Kung Fu Hustle
City Of God +1

Chocolat is a great film.

They said no romantics ya big girl! Excellent score in that film.

[REC] If you dare......
