Can anyone recommend an intelligent, brilliant, amazing indie or mainstream film that didn't get the popularity it deserved!! I'm sick of renting bad movies and wasting my money!(lb)

Just from my brief perusing of this thread I would agree that Lucky Number Sleven and The Life Aquatic are both worth watching (y)

it's an amazing film that has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that an overweight eric bana is in it.

Thats because it sucks, it has a stupid pretentious plot that makes no sense at all. Ritchie tries to make a hip tarantino style movie, but its not. If you want to have a crappy day, see this movie
icy manipulator
10-09-2006, 09:02 AM
i didn't really like it. it seemed way too short, like the movie was really missing something. btw you need to see The Castle dear(y)

this was for you claire btw
tracky
10-09-2006, 09:03 AM
hey we were just talking about chopper. Definately (y)

I watched Fear & Loathing on the weekend, not for everyone but still I'd recommend it. I'd seen it before but ages ago, and I this time I read the book before which made the movie a lot better


edit - oh shit! The Castle (y)
