Good films I may have missed

[toastboy]

My Lovefilm account is down to 13 choices and I'm struggling to think of any more films I want before I finally cancel the subscription after 5 years of 2 a week. Are there any cracking films that I may have missed or forgotten?

Foreign films, comedies, action, thrillers, scifi - good

chick flicks, horror, arthouse, black/white - bad

Not seen these, thanks I'll add them in if Lovefilm have them

Requiem For A Dream

Bit of horror/thriller/Trainspotting type film, all about addiction. At points it's a bit disturbing though, not a good watch if you're squeemish.

One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard on a film, but again, it is a very disturbing watch. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Things to do in Denver when you're dead.
Grosse Pointe Blank.
At Close Range.
Against All Odds.
The Man Who Would Be King.
Tombstone.

Whilst none are particularly obscure, I'm often surprised how many people haven't seen these so thought I'd mention 'em.

I'll second that, strange and quirky but a good film!

If it's the James Spader/Maggie Gyllenhall film, I've seen it. I can't find another version.

"Against All Odds" is one of those movies better remembered with fondness.

That said, it is worth watching for:
James Woods at his sly best
The Ferrari 308/Porsche 911 car chase. (80's supercars baby!)

The chickybabe (Rachel Ward?) seemed spectacularly less special than I remembered her.

Added, thanks

If you fancy a bit of school days nostalgia (though I know not how old you are) then try:

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Dazed and Confused.


Also, seen The Warriors?

[DrTre]

Come and see (idi i smotri)

bit weird...but seriously powerful. Lovefilm definitely has it.

Ichi the Killer utterly barking but brilliant

Fast times and dazed an confused are both superb.

Swingers?

I saw Perfume recently and knew nothing about it and thought it was going to be a crappy chick flick.

I watched "Four Feathers" the other night with that dead chap from BB Mountain, (well, not with him, with the wife) and was very plesantly surprised. Good film

[Dupont666]

Come and See added, thanks.

Ichi was a tad too gory for me.

Not keen on Swingers.

Read the book and heard the film was rubbish, I'll add it, thanks.
