A long list but watch any of them and you will not be disappointed

Leon is an awesome film on sooo many levels!

i agree with most of your film choices max, but personally donnie darko can suck my balls! it was sh*t. proper. dont think harry brown matches any of the films in the list either....

I'm confused how you think Harry Brown and Donnie Darko are bad films but rate Donky Punch and Constantine as some of your top films

Each to their own I guess. Still some damn good movies in that list though!

Another one for all you car junkies. French film called Taxi, really good film if you don't mind subtitles.

Heres a bit of the film even though its shut quality

i dont rate taxi that much either.....

films are like music, so many different styles to suit so many different tastes, which is what makes threads like this interesting!

i've got a really short attention span so get bored easily if a film loses pace or has a few irrelevant scenes etc, harry brown (a kind of british gran turino) had loads of slow irrelevant scenes which ruined an average film.

dont get me started on donnie darko, it was just utter rubbish. i couldnt get into it at all, i've read all the reviews and know its cult status but still can't watch it all the way thru.

i wouldnt say donkey punch was amazing by any means but it kept me entertained all the way thru and helps that i've got a soft spot for jaime winston

Basket Case (1982) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083624/
Ankle Biters (2002) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0344843/

If you havent watched either, you aren't a film buff.

Comedy:
waiting
step brothers
talledega nights
human traffic
Sex Drive

Guns and s**t:
HEAT
Any Guy Ritchie Film
The cliche of pulp fiction.



just a few really

I couldn't even begin to list mine, working as a DVD editor means a BIG collection...

but a few;

La Haine - f*cking amazing film. Fact.

Casino and Goodfellas - awesome dialogue throughout both films.

Withnail and I - possibly one of the greatest comedies.

Wall Street - Just great.
