Need movie recommendations - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Smittoh** · 07-25-2008, 02:43 AM

I got surgery tomorrow so I'm having a bit of time off, as there's no rental shop near me I've just joined blockbusters online and as it's been years since I seen a decent film, I need modernising and recommendations.

Love movies like Matrix, Transporter, Godzilla, Aliens, Jurrasic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Rambo, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon etc, don't mind a good comedy either, I even enjoyed Shaun of the dead.

Hates, Romcoms (Just the word sends shivers down my spine), gross horrors.

I've just started with Jumper as thats a film I been waiting to see for a while.

So, any sudgestions would be very welcome and urgently needed.

Cheers
Dan

Download 4oD if you haven't already, there's quite a lot of a good comedy series (just watched The Inbetweeners) and a few nice brit movies on there like The Long Good Friday, Mona Lisa, This is England and Withnail and I. A few well known Hollywood films there too.

Download them, don't stream as there's a huge difference in quality between the two.

If you must rent, try Shooter for action or Hot Fuzz if you liked SOTD.

Sin City

**CaseyFronczek** · 07-26-2008, 06:58 PM

Crank
Superbad
The Assasination of Jesse James {HD if poss}
Bourne Supremecy
I am Legend
The Bank Job

All worth a watch and modern opposed to the tripe already suggested.

Pan's Labyrinth! One of the best movies I've ever seen, if you don't mind watching a foreign-language film, I'm sure you'll agree.

Oh and based on the list of 'likes' you provided I'd recommend: Cloverfield, The X-Men Trilogy, The Terminator Trilogy, Batman Begins (and even the old ones by Tim Burton if you're in for a laugh) & Bad Santa (but only if you don't mind foul language and aren't easily offended).

**Ladbarbastirm** · 07-26-2008, 07:34 PM

The Dark Knight
Rush Hour 3
Transformers
The Lord of The Rings if you havent seen them

**Smittoh** · 07-26-2008, 07:58 PM

Added so far

Jumper (watched this morning, it was OK)
Rambo
Serenity(seen a few times but love it & Firefly)
Cloverfield (Cheers Paddezwam)
Stargate Ark of Truth ?? (big stargate fan but never heard of this)
The Man From Earth (Doctor Phlox anyone ??)
10000 B.C.
The Bank Job
Crank (Cheers Puzzle, I love Jason Statham films)
Season 4 of the 4400 (did this show on the TV or was it DVD only)
Battle Warrior and Warrior King (Just seen Ong Bak and love Tony Jaa)
I am Ledgend, The Last Man on Earth (Original - Vincent Price)
Millenium (Old but seem to remember enjoying it)
Grandmas Boy (Looks good in the trailer, Cheers Goliath)

Cheers

There's another stargate movie that was just released i know. Stargate: Continuum. It was actually decent, but i've seen better.
