Depends how old you are but I would recommend Requiem for a Dream, The Usual Suspects, Half Baked or how about asking the video store guy - they know whats hot and whats not ;)

I am at uni so....

AGE MEANS NOTHING TO ME!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

great taste, Downunda(except that i dont know Half Baked) ;) !
i would also recommend Requiem: For A Dream(if youre into scary hallusination movies, that is ;) ), Fight Club, Pulp Fiction and Memento.
though im 13, i like depressive and freaky movies ;)

Speaking of good taste, if I'd thought 'bout it I would've listed all the vids that you suggested aswell. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Half Baked is a comedy about a bunch of stoners - very funny :D

<font color="pink">This is a no brainer! Lord of the Rings :D </font color="pink">

Nice try but not on video yet, sorry Blue [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ok don't laugh but my fav is "I Claudius" and it is on video.

he asked about your favourite films, not the favourite videos [img]tongue.gif[/img]

my all-time favourite is The Fog.

In his original post he told us that he needed the names of some good flicks for a vid nite with his mates.

Never heard of The Fog, is it a thriller? I really like good thrillers [img]smile.gif[/img]

John Carpenter horror ;)

</font color="pink">Ch well for a good flick get Rocky Horror Picture Show, thats full of entertaining stuff. And you could always go to Korea and get a boot-legged copy of LotR, thats what my dad did :D </font color="pink">

'course we won't laugh ;) - ummmmmm... is that an arty type film or what? Not being smart or anything, I'm just always on ther lookout for good movies to watch and if it's the sort of thing you can sit down and watch with a few mates then I wouldn't mind seeing it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thats the guy that does the vampire flicks eh. Might have to look for it next chance I have.

ummmmumumumumumum... :D I found Rocky Horror weird but I s'pose that's the effect they were going for *shrugs*

Downunda: It was a series shown in the UK in the late '70s?? (I think that's when it was on) based on the Roman writer Suetonius' Life of Claudius (published in translation by Penguin as "The Twelve Caesars") A truly great historical drama.

I think it was here int he UK in the late 80s/early 90s

a most ewntertaining piece indeed.

you can't beat roman emperors for utter insanity :D

I love John Carpenter's early films (The Thing, Halloween...) but I never saw The Fog. I'll have to check it out.

My favourite films in no particular order :

Aliens
Bladerunner
Terminator 2
The Exorcist
Braveheart
Lord of the Rings
The Matrix
Seven

It was repeated then LS, but was earlier than that - I originally saw it when I was a kid. Might have been early '80s

hey, Aviendha, is Se7en good? i know Fight Club`s Director made it but i dont know anything else about it. i recommend Fight Club! :D

*scampers out of thread before Epona can exact revenge*

Seven is absolutely awesome. Very dark, very atmospheric. Great acting. You should hire it right now! (If you don't mind getting a little depressed). It's not one I'd recommend watching on a first date.

I love Fight Club too. I should add that to my favourites list.

you thoguht so? seems to me Morgan Freman plays exactly the same character in all his films

seemed a bit average to me that film ;)

hmm, i have it on video :D my bro taped it but i havent still seen it :D . maybe ill watch it someday.. but today, ill watch airplane! [img]smile.gif[/img] thats a good comedy [img]smile.gif[/img] !

Ty Epona. I tend to feel my tastes are not run of the mill

Well i did not see it in the 70's I kinda was not born then. I saw it on PBS in the 90's here and then I bought the video. I love the accurate it is in dipicting the life and politics then. Granted alot of it is speculation but he did a great job in research.
Also I am into Brit TV and films. I much prefer them over most American stuff. I also enjoy a lot of french films also.

oh the suggestion of Rocky Horror sounds good. Then you and all your mates ( I assume we are talking guys here) can dress up too. I am sure you would al llook great in Stockings heals corrsets and makeup. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Somehow, I don't think so ;) .
Thanx guys, I've seen most of the films suggested but I'll check out a few of the others mentioned. C ya! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh, and Lady Blue: I have a'contact' in Singapore that can get me VCDs early. Not that I'm doing anything illegal or anything. [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

hmmm,

Pulp fiction
Predator
Nixon
Fight club & Snatch
The exorcist
Silence of the lambs
ALien I & II
The cell
Jaws

I missed a bunch, and there are a ton of films out there wich I haven't seen but are sure I would find good.
