I think I'm gonna spend tonight watching a movie with a pizza and a nice mug of cider, but uh-oh! What movie should I watch?

To get the ball rolling I'll state a movie I loved: The Green Mile.

It was excellent from start to finish with great characterisation, brilliant acting (with superb casting) and it was sad and soppy without once involving romance.

Ooh! <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.226846-2-50-Reviews-Doomsday-2008>Doomsday is one that is really fun to watch, especially with friends, or if you like fun action films.

If you want an actual "good" movie though, track down <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.231661-2-50-Reviews-Snow-Angels-2007>Snow Angels. That movie is awesome.

enjoyable.

Piranha 3D hands down.
it was an immense load of fun, and i advice anyone to watch it. make sure a friend of you watches it too or else the fun will fade, the fun MUSN'T fade.

i'll leave you with these wise words:.....wet T-shirt.....wet T-shirt.

Awesome, your review made it sound sad. As a chronically melancholic kinda guy this sounds like the perfect movie to push me even further into the depths of depression. I'll go check netflix.

Perfect, loved both those films. Simon Pegg is absolutely hilarious. Have you seen Spaced?

Id have to go with The Shawshank Redemption I thought the acting in that film was brilliant. Or Shutters Island mainly because I thought the story of that film and was really intresting to watch unfold.
Cool, I'll give Shutter Island a look at some point. Not a great fan of DiCaprio though, is he good in it?

EDIT: Just to clarify, on the extreme off-chance that DiCaprio is a secret Escapist, I have no qualms about his acting I just don't tend to like his soppy movies.

Seen 'em all except Inception, which I intend to see as soon as it comes out on DVD.

I'm sure they won't mind (if you don't tell them)
cider is easily disguised in a drink container of your choice and pizza.....well....bring italian friends.

Pretty much this, with the inclusion of the 1990 Night of the Living Dead.

ALSO: THE FALL. SERIOUSLY, GO WATCH THAT. Right now.

Haha! And claim racial discrimination if they throw us out? I'm half Sicilian so I could claim that I have to stick up for my cultural heritage and, if that fails, make pointed references to the fact that my grandfather migrated to the UK during Mussolini's Mafia crackdown.

What's The Fall about? I've never heard of that one.

Im not a big fan of him either to be honest (though he was also good in Inception in my opinion) but in Shutters Island he plays the character just so well its worth watching it.
Thanks, I'll give it a looksie.

Yes, it is quite a sad film, but it's also beautiful to watch.

Watch Pulp Fiction. You might want to turn down the volume so as not to disturb the wee ones (this movie is about 90% F-Bombs) but it's an incredibly fun movie.

Also, Samuel L. 'Motherfucking' Jackson.

I'm watching New Moon on my bed now and I find myself quoting it. :p
Haha you haemophiliac weirdo. Weren't you posting pictures of 'sexy' vampires earlier?

Still, I admire your moxy for sticking up for those turgid vampire films. You'll get a lot of flak for it.

Seen it and loved it. A truly excellent movie with not a second of wasted film, quite rare that.
