Really enjoyable films

[MangaVally]

I've always loved Leon. Jean Reno in one of his best ever roles, and along the same lines, Ronin. If you want a really interesting watch, dig up Ghost Dog, Its about a gangster who follows the ways of Bushido

Four Lions. It's about a few Muslim Brits training to blow themselves up. And guess what? It's a COMEDY. A masterfully executed parody of all this Mujihadeen business, and the ending is actually pretty uncomfortable to watch, but when it's over, you realize that it's actually the funniest part of the film, an ironic statement delivered in such a way your mind will be blown into your friend's popcorn. And a certain scene where someone explains to someone else how he got 10+ gallons of bleach will shake you for more laughs than any other whole movie did in the past 3 years, and if it doesn't you might not go see it to save up for oil to put on your joints you fucking robot!

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse.
I'm watching New Moon on my bed now and I find myself quoting it.

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.

Awww leave 'em alone you It's a free country-esque forum. Personally I find it refreshing to see somebody liking Twilight as opposed to the usual hatred it spurns. I'm not really into the whole vampire scene but if they like it then good on 'em ^_^

I utterly adored, loved and almost became obnoxious enough to cheer in the cinema (but stopped at the last second and just laughed) when I saw the A-Team. Never in recent months have I see a movie that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Not to be taken seriously and slightly off balance with the realism but if I cared I wouldn't be watching it now

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

enjoyable.

Piranha 3D hands down.

This was seriously the most fun I have had at the movies in a loooong time. Great film!

OT:Big Trouble in Little China is a really enjoyable film.

 

[subject_87]

Ghostbusters is always pretty good.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I watched REC yesterday for the first time it was pretty good, not really scary but still entertaining. Also if you haven't already seen it then watch district 9.

 

[Ekonk]

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

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

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

The Fall is about an epic bandit story told by an injured stuntsman to a girl with a broken arm. The story is fun, but also deals with some heavy issues and has it's (very very) sad moments, and the cinematography is some of the best I've ever seen. I will post a trailer, but I must warn you that past the first half it gets very very spoileriffic indeed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO0LYcCoeJY

Oh District 9 was awesome, seen it 3 times when it was in the cinema

 

[Marter]

So what you're saying is.. Doomsday isn't a good movie?

OT: Kick-Ass. Not the best film I've ever seen (although it's one of them) but the most fun I've ever had watching something.

Being completely unbiased about it, yeah, it's not really a "good" film. I personally enjoyed it, and that is what the OP was asking for.

That's already on my To-See list since it's by Chris Morris. Brass Eye already won me over.

Yeah fair dos and I'm not trying to bully anyone or make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Twilight just sounds plain abysmal from everything I've heard of it.

The Fall is about an epic bandit story told by an injured stuntsman to a girl with a broken arm.

Sounds like my kinda thing, I'll give it a look. Thanks for the heads up.

Seen both and they were both awesome.

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?

List here your favourite movie, movies you've seen recently and liked, movies you saw ages ago and liked or movies you've heard great things about! Make sure to tell us why you liked/others liked the movie. All genres are welcome.

This is England is really worth seeing.

 

[bad_dog14]

Something or other.

That's already on my To-See list since it's by Chris Morris. Brass Eye already won me over.

Well what the fuck is it still doing on your to-see list when it should be on your saw-it-and-got-my-mind-blown list?! Go see it NAO!

Haha fair point, I've just not got much free time these days. I'll make sure to see it soon though.

So I've heard, it's about racism isn't it?

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.

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

then if you liked that you like resivior dogs
and if you haven't already ,as a guy sugested up there watch shawshank redemtion(one of the best films ever and an easy watch)p.s. best movie of last year district 9

Seen all of those and they were all awesome. The ear scene in Reservoir Dogs made me sick when I first watched it almost a decade ago. Since then the internet has robbed me of any semblance of innocence.

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.

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.

Actually ive just thought about this topic and theres far too many to list so i will add 2 more, shaun of the dead and hot fuzz. again, very enjoyable movies.

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

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.

That's only in the Cinema right now in the UK. When I bring Cider and pizza into the cinema people jeer me.

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.

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.

Do that!
you know you want to.
''my grandfather fought for the right to eat pizza in the cinema!''

Hmm I have this thing for movies that do a lot with bugger all, "12 angry men" with Henry Fonda, Alfred Hitchcocks "Rear window" and Quentin Tarentinos "Resevoir Dogs" Get my nomination.
