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.
I liked children of men, i just wish they had explored the concept more than they did. |

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_in_Black#Plot_summaryI agree but if you see the West End theatre version of the show, it's even more scary! |

La vita e bella / Life is beautiful (drama - must see)
I know it is a bit pretentious recommending foreign language films but I would echo this one. Without a doubt in my Top 3. Just to prove this bucks the trend though, 'Big' with Tom Hanks in right up there too. |

There are some great foreign language films out there - I'm a fan of asian films, these are all very accessible:
Farewell My Concubine
2046
Kung-fu Hustle
Chungking Express
Hana-bi
Battle Royale
Hard Boiled
Ring
Spirited Away
And of course Crouching Tiger...

Maybe subtitles are akin to on-screen displays of hole cards in TV poker programmes: useful, superfluous, a minor irritation, or vital to the plot according to your viewpoint.
Foreign language films can be a refreshing change from McHollywood fare: they are more than cultural marmite.

Kung Fu Hustle was totally hilarious, I really loved that film. Battle Royale was just...mental. Also liked: 'Man Bites Dog' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkieE6MKdY0 CAUTION GRAPHIC VIOLENCE) but pretty funny La Haine Betty Blue |
