Good Movies

[butterflyblonde]

I was listening to 'Say' by John Mayer earlier and decided to download the torrent file for the movie 'The Bucket List'.

I haven't watched a good move in ages so hoping this will be match the write up I read.
Can anyone recommend any other recent movies that are better than the usual tripe?

And what do I mean by tripe? Any movie like 'About a boy' is absolute bollocks. dancing

Anyone seen Batman 6 yet b.t.w?

zulu seen it over 20 timesdancing

Me too dancing

Looks like I'll have to download all the classics then if nobody else has suggestions.

'In Bruges' is worth a look, downloaded it a couple of weeks back. Black comedy about a couple of hitmen hiding out in Belgium after a botched job.

Saw 'American Gangster' for the first time the other day and that was pretty good, as was 'No Country for Old Men' which I also only just got round to watching. If you can get hold of the new Will Ferrell movie 'Step Brothers' that's not bad either.

Kind Hearts And Coronets.:sofahide:

The Bucket List is a good one! Another couple current favorites ripped from the torrent sites are

Street Kings w/ Keaneau Reeves

Michael Clayton w/ George Clooney

Saw Batman in the cinema here, was not really my type of movie but the Thai bird loved it.


All the best,

Magoo

Just found this...watch movies online for free - full versions and they reckon it's perfectly legal.

I'm just watching 'Felon' which looks pretty good.

I knew eye couldn't be the only guy who didn't dig that movie.

bb......with the current state of affairs in Hollywood...with everything being targeted for the teenage viewer....batman, the mummy....all the super hero nonsense.....you might want to revisit some of the classics if'n you haven't viewed them.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre....ex-pat goes ting tong in Mexico...

Double Indemnity....Fred McMurray, Edward G. Robinson and Barbara Stanwyck....insurance scam leads to murder.

Only promising new movie on the horizon IMHO opens on September 8th here....Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino star as cops in a NYC murder mystery.

Tommie, I saw Salton Sea the other day and enjoyed it. :thumbsup: It was a quirky film that kept twisting and turning and wasn't predictable at all. It had the feel at times of an old pulp crime novel.

:cheers: mack....No one is making the good old fashioned who done it N E more....mustn't be N E :rich: in it:detective:....I like Westerns:cowboy: too, but they ain't making 'em either:bigfinger:

[bazzap]

I like me westerns too Tommie


Watched "The Man from Laramie" today. Jimmy Stewart is always good. Enjoyable movie but the end was rather disappointing.



BTW, you may call me dumb but I don't believe in downloading movies. To me it is wrong to do that. :boxing: I buy only original dvds. They are cheap enough to do so. "The Man from Laramie" cost me $8.95 from my local Woolworths store

bb....one last suggestion.....an off-beat movie that'z kind of obscure...."Joy Ride":moped:...from about 5 years or so ago....a low budget sleeper that got some very good reviews....a mix of comedy and edge of yer seat terror:MyEmoticons-com__gi....xjQTopC6Z4M

Just finished watching Felon, pretty scary stuff.

I saw that years ago Mack, has Val Kilmer in it. I thought it was a classic movie, never heard of it before , just picked it off the shelf and loved the bejeesus out of it.:MyEmoticons-com__co

[butterflyblonde]

Watched 'Taken' today on the watch-movies.net site.

Pretty good I thought, about a guy who's daughter goes off to Paris to follow the band U2 on tour and gets kidnapped by an albanian gang that traffic women for prostitution.

Young TommieCoughlin had recommended that film as a little sleeper Yusamile :ylflower: so I checked it out and enjoyed it too. :thumbsup:

Your memory is still in good shape Yusamile :ylflower: which is a minor miracle after all the alcohol and drugs you did as a youth :oops: err... yes, Val Kilmer was in the movie plus Vincent D'Onofrio.

Harvey is one of my all time favourite films. Absolutely superb, one of the best soliloquys in movie history IMO too.

Suprised you missed It's a Wonderful Life off your James Stewart list though? :huh:

[pierro1927]

Hello Gonzo

Yes I forgot that one. But he made so many movies.
Also very nice were
Winchester 73
Anatomy of a murder
Shenendoah
The shootist ( small part/ rest by Wayne)

Harvey is one of my all time favorites too. Another one that comes in mind is sons of desert with Laurel and hardy.
