excellent choice

'face' was pretty good, also another vote for 'gangster number one' which i saw utterly by accident and also enjoyed. if you havent seen the film for 'clockwork orange' id give that a whirl also.
id also say go and watch both 'deathwatch' and 'the bunker'. both of those were only ok films but a good way to absorb a spare couple of hours after the pub.

The Keep is another lesser know film, superb

It's not like I've seen it myself so these comments are not IMHO

I heard that the film is shot extremely well and the camera work is magnificent, but I heard that the acting and particularly the script let it down in a big way. Storyline not as accomplished as Snatch and the director didn't get the best out of the actors.

[FourWheelDrift]

You'd better watch it yourself then.

Stalingrad.

Made by the same people / company whatever that made Das Boot.

Excellent film.

' Shagging birds is for poofs' - Best line I've heard for a bit tho' -

I'd intended to but this was the opinion I'd received from a couple of people.

It's fairly cheap on DVD now so perhaps I'll get it.

This is the most memorable line I've heard recently.

From Sin City:

"When it comes to consoling 19-year-old girls, I'm about as expert as a palsy patient performing brain surgery with a pipe wrench."

Eh? Is this a "gay interest" film then? And just a tip, but I wouldn't go using that line on a night out either....

I'd go for:

Taxi
Taxi 2
Doberman (french film)
Dazed and confused
Sexy Beast

Taxi 3 is out too. Although I have yet to see it.

A bit for Taxi 1 and 2.

Equilibrium was an ok film, would'nt go out of my way to watch it again.

Layer Cake was a very good film, and i wasn't expecting much given that i dont usually go for the "cockney gangster films". Must buy it on dvd.

One other i would go for is Ghost Dog : The Way Of The Samurai, just for all round funkyness

Chopper. One of my all time favorites

Oh, and City of God. I used to live around the corner from where all of that was going on

Oh yeah, superb film there. You read any of his books? Despite being an utter psycho, the motivation behind his vigilante activities makes for intriguing readin. All his books have been Australian bestsellers. The main reason why he's not in prison is that the polica actually see him as a positive thing!
