History of Violence
 
Old Boy first, it's brilliant.
then in this order:

Pan's Labyrinth
History of Violence
Blood Diamond
Bbel

The rest I don't care about.
 
Watch this lot first:
Babel
Pans Labryinth
Old Boy

Watch this lot if you are bored:
Blood Diamond
History of Violence

Watch this lot when Hell freezes over:
Quiz Show
POTC
WTC
Heard good things about History of Violence, and not so good about Babel. Was I misinformed?
 
Pans Labyrinth - weird but quite good I suppose
Babel
Pirates OTC 3 - good but not a patch on the first one, plus the bit with lots of Jacks is shite
Old Boy
Blood Diamond
World Trade Centre (prob never gonna watch it)
Quiz Show (think I've seen it, but can't remember)
History of Violence

havent heard of the rest or they don't appeal to me
 
watch History of Violence and forward to the stair scene. The other DVD's make a good christmas present

History of Violence

good film, i recommend to anyone
 
Only problem with that film was Di Caprio's horrendous South African "accent" otherwise, great film.

Zimbabwean actually, irrc. I have no idea how whites from Zimbabwe sound so I thought he was good. Be interesting to see what any Zimbabwe reds thought about it.

I'd watch them in this order

Pans Labyrinth - Brilliant film. My film of the year. In fact it is a long time since I have seen anything quite as good

Quiz Show (think I've seen it, but can't remember) - Excellent. Watch it. Or watch it again.

History of Violence - Very good and well worth a watch.

Blood Diamond - Surprisingly watchable action thriller set in Southern Africa. Di Caprio wasn't highly annoying which was a nice change.

World Trade Centre (prob never gonna watch it) - Good intentions got in the way of a good film. Cinematography was nice and it is hard to pick exactly why the film didn't work very well but it didn't. Shame.

Pirates OTC 3 (prob never gonna watch it) - quite watchable on DVD particularly if you enjoyed the first two. Longer and more confused that the previous episodes but still quiet fun if over long.

Babel - Long and rather pointless but not quite as bad as you may have heard. I made the end without much effort.

Old Boy - More boring one joke yank comedy. Not as bad as talladega Nights but then what is?

I watched POTC3 again recently, and payed attention this time. It's not that bad. Enjoyed the second one more though.

Too much going on, plus the two super nasty evil bad guys from the first two films, inexplicably become useless poofs

His accent yo yo'd between SA and Zimbabwean which made the whole thing seem very put on. Still much better than many actors attempts at accents mind.

I enjoyed it more on DVD than I did at the cinema.

The plot making very little sense indeed, even by the stadards of this franchise, didn't help matters.
 
Old Boy
Blood Diamond
Pans Labyrinth

Either havent seen or wouldnt bother with the others.

I liked Blood Diamond a lot. I think I just found the setting of the film intrguiging and worked better than Lord of War and some of those others of a similar genre. (Which I have to confess in many instances I enjoyed as well.) Yes, it would have been better without the pointless love interest element, but if you block that bit out the rest of it is very affecting.

Pans Labyrinth I also thought was very good.
 
Quiz Show is the best film on the list to be honest

I thought it was very good actually. I especially liked how he was constantly saying "Ja, ja..." all the time, this is such a German thing and it can only be said in a certain context, otherwise it sounds dumb. I thought he did a good job with that.

Isnt that one actor, Leonardo's boss, speaking Africaans actually?

If its the one where John Turturro gets booted off of a quiz show because he isn't commercial enough, in favour of a smooth rich bastard who gets fed the answers, then I have seen it, just don't remember it too well.

Very good film though, I believe.
 
I've just realised that I have mixed Old Boy up with Anchorman for no reason that I can think.

I have never seen Oldboy so I have no idea where it should be in the list.

Could be old school you were thinking of. Another generic comedy from the supposed geniuses of our time.
 
1-Old Boy (mint)
2-Pans Labyrinth (great)
3-Blood Diamond (very good)

4-History of Violence(not seen)
5-Quiz Show (not seen)
World Trade Centre (not seen)
Pirates OTC 3 (not seen)

Babel (don't bother)
 
old boy is the best of ever.
better than the smurfs and the carebears movies.
i especially like the hammer scene
and all the other scenes.
pans labyrinth is jolly good too.


i haven't seen ichi the killer but i will make the effort to watch it now as it seems to be popular with oldboy fans, therefore i'll probably like it too.
