I think so. Having seen so many movies if I can't come up with 100 that I enjoyed it'd be pretty sad.

ZodiacThe story of the Zodiac Killer who terrorised California in the 60s and 70's told through the eyes of a policeman and 2 journalists who worked the case. Long and lacking in the action that many seem to crave these days but IMO brilliantly told and paced with excellent performances all round especially Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jnr and Mark Ruffalo. Not dissimilar to All The Presidents Men and the cinematography is excellent. 9/10
The Host - Good movie. 8/10
Dog Day Afternoon - Great little movie. Al Pacino at his best
Eklavya - All you non-Indian cnuts, I'd recommend this movie. Nice little story told and shot well

The History Boys A film adaptation of an Alan Bennett stage show about bright Northern kids preparing for the Oxbridge entrance exam. A brilliant soundtrack and excellent performances all round. Despite the film betraying its stage show origins I think that this is probably my film of the year. 9.5/10
The moral majority were horrified by the gay themes BTW.
Fecking spastics that they are.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Funny, but not as good as Life of Brian or Holy Grail.
The Kingdom
enjoyable thriller 7/10

YOu think it was worthy of being sent for the Oscars ? Haven't seen it ... but the general reaction seems to be that it doesn't desrve to be the official entry.
Haven't seen Dharm so I can't decide
The movie's a good one, been lambasted by the audiences unfairly. Plus the man who made it tackles interesting subjects and has made a few cult classics over his career and has been criminally overlooked at times. You need to have talent to have your first movie out of graduation be nominated for an Academy award
On an overall basis it was spot on. Feck off Chak De India
I'll be watching Infernal Affairs III next, followed by The Emperor and Assassin. . .and a couple of Yugoslavian movies(once I get a skype account sorted.)
Yugoslavian movies tend to have as many as 6 intermissions in 'em
Underground sounds good.
Give a try to the Indian movie I recommended there El Grande. It is only about an hour an half in length
I'd rather get Delhi belly.
Is that some sort of a slang like nappy?
Delhi Belly - the shits/runs/diarrhoea
Nappy still takes the cake thoughAnyways, enough derailing for the time being:
Bourne Identity - Delayed watching it so as to read the book till I fecked that saw it anyways. Good stuff, although I don't really rate Damon as an actor
Not sure I can be arsed to watch Bourne Identity. The other two were very average.
Couldn't care much about the other two 'cos you could feel a recurring trend about the plot, something like Ocean's 12 and 13
Hang on. Bourne Identity is that the third one? I've not seen the 3rd one.
Bourne Ultimatum is the 3rd one. Identity is the first, Supremacy is the second
Infernal Affairs III isn't nearly as good as the first two.
One's better than two. But I enjoyed the second one as well. Heard this one's more convoluted. Is that true?
True.
I saw the first 30 minutes of Seconds. - 9/10 so far.
Electric Dragon 80 000V. Well that was loud and strange.
house of 1000 corpses
fecking good
fecking good
Superbad - Funny
The Painted Veil
Quite amazingly boring. Don't watch it.
I quite enjoy watching Naomi Watts, she's pretty and a very good actress, but by the end I was praying for her to die of cholera

Seconds - Good storyline, not the most clinical editing but a decent movie overall.
I Spit on Your Grave - Michael Winner's wet dream. Enough said.
watched this last night. Very well made and the acting is excellent as well, really enjoyed Robert Downey Jnr's performance. just found that the 2nd half dragged a little bit. very enjoyable though. 8/10 for me
Disturbia.
Surprisingly enjoyable. A really watchable pop corn movie, it doesn't suffer from any of the grating cliches and tedious scenarios that these films so often do, as a result there is real tension. It's not exactly an art house film, so don't expect to be wowed by the amazing cinematography.
It gets massive bonus points for the hemorrhoid inducingly attractive bird in it, Sarah Roemer. :wank:

What's wrong with her face?
Nothing, what's wrong with your eyes?
The Invisible 8/10
