Movie Suggestions


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

ok, after my exams finish and everything, during the holidays a lot of a friends are going to come over every now and then and some will often crash. I plan to watch a few movies, not ones out in cinemas, and I need some suggestions on what movies i should grab. I prefer comedy and action movies (and some movies that mess with your head like some Nicolas Case and Brad Pitt movies)

So far i've got:

2 Fast 2 Furious

Bad Boys

Deuce Bigalow

Fight Club

Freddy Got Fingered

Friday

Next Friday

Happy Gilmore

How High

I Spy

Joe Dirt

Meet The Parents

Menace II Society

National Security

Old School

Road Trip

Romeo Must Die (along with a few other Jet Li movies)

The Hot Chick

The Water Boy

Tomcats

Training Day

Undercover Brother

Zoolander

(and no, i'm not gonna watch it all during the holidays, i do have a life you know... lol.. i've seen most of them anyway)

can anyone suggest to me anymore good comedy / action movies?

Thanks in advance

The Last Starfighter

Flight of the Navigator

Cloak and Dagger

My tastes vary from week to week. Lately I've been on a retro kick. There are some good older movies I haven't seen a while.

Snatch

Lock Stock n Two Smoking Barrels

Fight Club

Trainspotting

Old School (never gets old)

Awesome movies :D

Requiem for a Dream was pretty messed up. Worth watching (once) though.

Memento is one of my favourite movies, very original story.

Whatever you do don't rent Mullholland Drive. I know it's an artsy movie etc. but I just didn't get it. It's a mindf*ck :(

Mulholland drive is one of my favorite movies. Damn that film is clever.

Also check out Donnie Darko, 2001: A Space Oddysey, and 2010: Oddysey 2.

Definitely watch Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 (Dead by Dawn) and the Medieval Dead (Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness). Some of the best cheesey comedy horror ever made. Sam Raimi is a genius.

Also look up Run Lola Run, Cube, and One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest. And Leon is one of the greatest action movies ever made, IMHO.

btw, there was a thread a while ago about Snatch and Lock Stock and people are saying both movies are good... i've seen snatch... is it the same genre as lock stock?

Monty Python films/ Flying Circus (Not film but its the best comedy)

Always good for sharing with friends, especially if no one's seen them, though their full-length features are probably best for an introduction. Excellent rec.

Addendum: You might really like stuff like Thirteenth Floor and Equilibrium if you'd be into above-average sci-fi stuff.
