Great Films you've watched ....

[IbeefaR]

I only frequent the cinema when there is something obviously well written by an intelligent mind. I like to think of myself as the more discerning viewer.

This is a must see:

2 knobs from gavin and stacy

Utter utter slander!

Recent additions to note...

The Reader - jolly good piece of filmmaking, and EasterislandStatue head puts in quite a breathtaking performance, though I think the "Ex Nazi concentration camp guard has an affair with a schoolkid" genre is getting a bit saturated these days. Really wish someone would come up with something original.

The Orphanage (or El Orphanto etc) - So so, seen it all before in The Others (though this is superior), and didn't nearly nail the classic set pieces as well as what it could have.

Not a fillum, but after having not seen it before and got tipped off to it from the missus, I did manage to watch the entire Our Friends In The North series (10.5 hours according to the DVD - polished off in 18 hours!) at the weekend - utterly gripping and entertaining stuff 8)

I love loads of films mentioned in this thread, but as for truly 'great' films- my vote goes with (any) Kubrick, starting with my favorite 'Paths of Glory'

I think I can suspend belief for 1-2hrs - I managed to during Rambo (OAP)

I actually found the Hmong contingent more believable than Eastwood. They felt real. Eastwood came on too strong at the beginning and transformed a little to easily.

But still a good flick.
