Avinalaff Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 What are the best films you've ever watched? I ask as I have been downloading films lately to watch of an evening, but beginning to run out of ideas after having watched about 50 different ones. I appreciate you have a 'What are you watching' thread, but that's a bit different, as this is specifically about movies to download, so have opened a new thread in the hope to get some answers. Here is a list of recent movies I've watched: Titanic Sucker Punch Bourne films Matrix films One flew over the cuckoos nest Silent Hill Trainspotting The Exorcism of Emily Rose The Pianist Raiders of the lost ark Fight club Godfather films Thin Red line Green mile Forset Gump Final Destination films It Synecdoche Newyork Sweeny Todd Pirates of the caribbean films Jane Eyre Arena The Rite Children of men Wicker man Cowboys and Aliens Snatch Inglorious basterds Zodiac Room 1408 Slices of life Horrible bosses Donnie Darko Water for elephants Lord of the rings films Lord of the flies No country for old men Avatar Sixth sense The departed Source code Schindlers list Moulin rouge Jacobs ladder The aviator Brokeback mountain White elephant Contagion LA Confidential Paul 1984 The big lebowski Blood diamond Thor Pans labarynth Paranormal activity Inception Citizen kane What movies would you recommend I download next?

Lowensda Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Recent, jesus Avin!? Sucker Punch im guessing where you got Emily Browning from? Far more acceptable than my first 'watch' of her! V for Vendetta - as mentioned in another thread Bronson In the spirit of Halloween: English/American - Halloween (all bar 3) Nightmare on Elm Street (all) Hellraiser 1-4 Friday 13th (all, later ones worth a hoot rather than scare) Childs Play (all) Leprechaun Poltergeist Texas Chainsaw Massacre (all - originals) Alien Hostel The Last House on the Left Feast (funny) Wolf Creek The Descent Dead silence Asian – Shutter The Eye Tale of two sisters? Ichi the killer (one of my faves, but it’s a bit sick) Alone from Thailand Ringu (The Ring) Ju-On (Grudge) One missed call? European – Rec/Quarantine Let the right one in Haute Tension That should do you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Stand By Me, Sleepers, Toy story and The Breakfast Club are a must. The Sasquatch Gang Kick Ass Do The Right Thing Half Nelson Donnie Brascoe Tigerland The Believer Trees Lounge The Last Castle Lawn Dogs I Am Sam I Saw the Devil (Old Boy actor, but more ruthless) Princess Moneoke Murder In The First Leaving Las Vegas Tried to pick a few you might of skipped Edited October 31, 2011 by pete0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Cheers chaps. Lots I've not watched before though I've seen some. Funny enough another wonderful film I saw recently was actually an Indian film, called 3 idiots. It is the biggest of the Bollywood films, and was about 3 lads during Uni. Loads of laughs, and drama too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Seeing Titanic at the top of the list put me off reading much further . Far better is the 1958 version http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051994/ "A Night to Remember" but you may struggle to download it . It has the added bonus of my grandma being an extra in it....stole the film for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 But seriously....Defiance and The Tourist last two I watched....both excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Natural born Killers Pulp fiction Straw Dogs (The original) Gladiator And a good old one worth seeing, if you can find it ... The Quiet Man, an early John Wayne movie with Maureen O'Hara. The best and longest fight scene i've ever seen in a movie.

EFC-Paul Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) From your post the other day Avin mate I'd say Sleeping Beauty is one for you...Tissues at the ready! Hard to say best films I have loads of "top" films mainly being Gangster/Mafia type flicks most films I like have already been mentioned. C1982's list is a good one the comedy's there's a few not to My liking I don't think you can beat the older one's classics like Hear no Evil see no Evil, Stir Crazy a more recent comedy's that I loved where Life and Soulmen oh and not sure if anyone has mentioned The Wanderers Edited November 1, 2011 by EFC-Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) It's not a film like but if you haven't watched Boardwalk Empire Avin its well worth a watch one of the best mini series I've seen. Basically the Prohibition era and based mainly on factual events and characters. It's into season two of three now so you have hours of watching to do if you fancy it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0979432/</p> Edited November 1, 2011 by EFC-Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they illegal? Are they any worse than sharing streams? DVD Flick is a perfectly legit programme also for burning cd's or dvd's. No more illegal than buying a dvd or cd disc. As for kickass torrents ? http://thelandofhack.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/the-top-10-legal-torrent-sites/ The areas are all grey lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinalaff Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 we've also asked in the past to not share streams.... Not noticed any requests, but did notice there was no mention of either in the forum rules though. http://www.toffeetal...embers-new-old/ Had there been, I'd have refrained from it. Telepathy isn't my strong point unfortunately. Might I suggest rather than 'request' it, which will be hit or miss depending on who reads the request, you take steps to ensure we all know what is, and isn't expected of everybody, by adding it to the rules Matt? That's normally the place members check to see if something is permitted. I don't think that's unreasonable to be fair mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originial request came whilst you were away then, though Im pretty sure ive mentioned it in some of the match day threads this season, even offering a legal alternative. I will update the rules though, fair point - though please try to suggest in a less patronizing and condescending tone (im sure its not intended and youre just trying to be helpful, but it comes across that way).

There wasnt a personal attack it was a request, plain and simple. I even tried to sugar coat it. Look mate, you're nothing to me. Stop talking to me like you are important and above me. You're a guy on the Internet, so quit with the victimization lark and grow up. Anybody would think I was under your employment. Who do you think you are to call me a pain in the neck? I'm a father of adult children and professionally educated. How dare you talk down to me like I'm some junior school infant in your class. I asked Louis a question, not you. It's 'his' site, not yours. OK pal ? How on earth were you picked out to moderate a forum? You're nothing but a wannabe bully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
