I simply adore her and this is a good movie to watch.
Paris also reminds me of Anna Hathway in THE DEVILS WEAR A PRADA.
all three of you? sorry couldn't resist that..
Kite runner is now on my list to watch as it's been mentioned a few times, cheers
Kite Runner was pretty good but it starts off a bit slow. You have to be patient.
Is A Shot of Love with TT a new one (part 2) i watched the the first series a few months ago, and was very entertaining.
Titanic is a classic i watched it about 8 times in the cinema. Also Saving Private Ryan i cried buckets watching that film.
The next James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace" looks good.
I enjoyed Casino Royale very much, my favorite James Bond story so far. Eva Green is such a hottie.
I am not a great film watcher, particularly these days.
Some of my favourites from the past:
The Wicker Man (Original version). I don't reckon much of remakes in general and haven't seen the remake of this one.
The Lair of the White Worm
Tommy
Monty Python and The Holy Grail
The Life of Brian
The Time Machine (Again the original version)
The 'Hammer' Dracula films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee
'Carrie' and 'Jaws' were good first time round but don't stand the test of watching several times. The suspense element is lost.
I agree I liked it too.
Another movie quite similar to K-Pax I liked was "Signs" by M. Night Shyamalan.
Now Shyamalan is someone I do know about.. I love all his movies Signs was the first one I saw and I managed to see "The Village" last year..
If you are new to Switzerland and in the process of learning the language and culture, there are two Swiss films that I highly recommend watching and studying:
Both films provide poignant social commentaries on the Swiss. It provided me some insight on the Swiss way of thinking. I've even seen Swiss German courseware that uses Die Schweizermacher as the text. I'll post here if I find it.
Here it is:
Die Schwiezermacher (the book). Learning Swiss Germand finally made fun!
Thanks all you wonderful Forum folk for the movie suggestions.. I'm thrilled with this list. Having gone through this thread to thank you all, I've pressed so many thanks buttons I'm feeling dizzy.. I think I'll have a wee lie down..
I would suggest 'The Prestige' as well...Hugh Jackman n Christian Bale...directed by Christopher Nolan.
K-Pax was a really unexpected good one.
Signs I liked too...
Taken is nice as well...not as good as I had expected though...but better than most.
As far as War epics go, I havent found anything even remotely close to 'Band of Brothers'. HBO's 10 part miniseries. Definitely a collectible.
Nikita
the French version by Luc Besson,
just wild !!!
There was also a series called Nikita ,
liked that one too!!!
ljm,
I'm surprised no one else cited Crash.
Excellent on the big screen or DVD.
I thought Three Burials and No country for Old Men were good on the big screen.
I ordered old rare b/w DVDs from the English Video Store in Seefeld in Zurich.
They arrived a day or so later in the post with a payment slip. Very convenient.
I haven't noticed it recently when going past on the tram and can't find it on the web.
Anyone know if it moved / closed / is still there?
Watched Michael Clayton last night v. good. I always put Clooney down as a pretty boy and so pay little attention to him in movies but, I must say, he was good in this. Thanks for this list.
First up I confess that I've not read through the entire thread, so apologies if I repeat previously suggested movies.
If you fancy a bit of a break from the hollywood norm, check out the two movies written and directed by Tom McCarthy. His first back in 2003 is called "The Station Agent" and is just excellent. His follow up is called "The Visitor" and completely unrelated to the first so dont worry about which order you watch them in.
Both are excellent ways to spend 90 minutes of your life when you're not in the mood for violence, explosions, car chases and shooting (which usually I am).
Go see!
you might change your mind with The Happening, if all the reviews are anything to go on.
Apparently there is a new Star Wars movie out, but like you I haven't really been able to watch much in the way of good movies lately. I can however recommend all the good kids animated movies if you want. I have to watch those because my kids choose the movies these days
Yes, this was a very good movie!
