Movie recommendations

Daily Life, Swiss News and General Topics
1
Winter is on it's way, the evenings are getting longer I'm in need to of some good movies to watch. Over the last 4/5 years haven't had much time to watch movies like I use to do and cinema visits are rare(my son is 4). Recently I dug out the Godfather movies, Goodfellas, Star wars, Matrix and watch them again but when it comes to good movies that have been recently made I'm sadly ignorant. Any Movies/films you've seen that you would recommend?

2
The Kite Runner (your local library might have it; I found one in the Cham library)

Kleine Fische (a charming Swiss movie about two regular guys who might rob a bank; a bit on their funny personal lives as well)

Earth, Water, Fire (a trilogy of classy Indian films by Deepak Mehta)

3
My recommendation "The Pursuit of Happyness" if you had not seen yet..

I did start this thread.....but it kind of died on its backside.

5
If you like fantasy and fiction movies I would recommend from my side: '' The Lord of the Ring'' trilogy and perhaps Harry Potter. Then my favourite would be Marvel Comics group action hero movies sequels e.g. Batman, Spiderman, Superman, X-Man, Fantastic 4, Hellboy... just to name a few.

6
Gangs of New York . if you haven't seen it is worth it if only to see Daniel Day Lewis' performance.

Likewise There will be blood

Are two good movies I have seen recently that spring to mind.

7

While I liked both movies well enough, both Mr Day Lewis's characters were too similar, I thought.

'No Country For Old Men' has an unpredictable plotline, with an unexpectedly creditable performance from Josh Brolin and a lunatically entertaining one from Javier Bardem. (Sorry, too many adverbs/adjectives.)

8
If you like a good laugh The First 50 Dates made me nearly pee in my pants from laughing so much (not so new).

Brilliant action film Lucky Slevin.

Psycho thriller Das Perfect Verbrechen.

Scary Cabin Fever.

Very Scarey brilliant Horror films Saw 1, 2, 3, and 4 my favorite movies

9
If you haven't already seen them...go back to some classic Hitchcock movies. See the sublime, radiating Grace Kelly in her prime in Rear Window . Or watch North by Northwest or The Man Who Knew Too Much for some more good suspense/adventure, with Carry Grant and Jimmy Stewart respectively. I think the Hitchcock movies are timeless, and usually thoroughly enjoyed by modern viewers.

10

I think this might be out on DVD now.......1000% worth a purchase.

Also 'Blood Diamond' & 'The Last King Of Scotland' are worth buying.

11
If you would like to laugh your brains out I would recommend a comedy "51st state''. It is not a new movie but everytime I watch it it makes me chuckle a lot

12
3 more i forgot about that made me laugh alot. The 40 Year Old Virgin, Happy Gilmore, and The Break Up.

13
Shawshank Redemption is a really good one!

14
YES , saw it with my daughter in the theater then had to buy the film..!! Must have seen it 50 times since..!!

Song of the day

I agree we also have it on DVD brilliant and very funny film, and also romantic oh i think i might watch it later.

Hey how about DVD lending i lend you (anyone on here) a DVD, and someone lends me 1

18
Ok Brilliant action movie is XXX (i just love Vin Diesel , and in this film he is fantastic).

Horror The Chainsaw Massacre

Love kind of (not many people can watch this i have lent it out to friends who wanted to watch it, and they have given it me back saying they could not watch, but it is a brilliant film) Brokeback Mountain.

19
Then you're just slightly madder then me, I'm at 170+ plus a couple of dozen I've downloaded via Limewire. Actually I prefer to buy the movies rather than to download them because with the DVDs you get all the extra stuff like out takes and making of.
