Help needed on films

[hector62]

My girlfriend is a member of a DVD club but is appalling at choosing good films- this has just culminated in the ridiculous " Children of men" being watched in about 25 mins in fast speed. I would like some recommendations for films to get sent. preferably not action films but ones with a good story, or good comedy ones.

the Departed is a must own film.

the Departed is a must own film.

Totally agree.

Another top film with a great story is "Man on fire" Denzel Washington

For a scary movie,  you have to get ' The Woman in Black'.  It is a fairly old movie from about 15 years ago.  I have seen it advertised on a few DVD sites and one day I will rent it again.   I never find horror movies frightening,  but this movie is a real heart stopper


Here is the wikipedia page

i liked Frailty,with bill paxton and mattew mc

[Graham C]

Man on Fire was excellent - totally agree 100%

Just watched Deja Vu which was pretty good too, not the same thing obviously but another Denzel film worth watching.

Bad Santa today was too funny

This film is awesomeness, so well put together, but you really need Denzel in that role, what a performance.

Just saw 'Crash' (recent oscar winning one), and it was really really excellent, a very different, interlaced film, but very moving.

'PierrePoint' (last hangman in UK) was superb also, not cheery, but a great movie nonetheless.

My other favourites include 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind', '21 grams', Solaris, Heat, 'Ivans Xtc' (black also, but worth seeing), American History X. 'Derailed' is good fun too, a good plot driven movie.

I just logged into imdb.com to check a couple of things, they're going subscription only grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

so weird how people's tastes overlap, I love all those movies, esp. Bourne Supremacy, what a movie. Bourne III being made now, awesome!

My girlfriend hates all of the movies above and not because she hates the plots, its because even though i have them all on DVD, i HAVE to watch them if they come on sky or normal telly.

Edit, cant wait for the new bourne one to come out.

I may also lose credit for admitting i f'in love the harry potter movies and cant wait for the new one of that to come out either!
