marcopaulo Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've been downloading films for the family to watch for a good few months. Is it worth me listing a few of the better ones ? Kickass Torrents / Bittorrent / DVD Flick (if you want to burn them) are the programmes you need. i hook the laptop up to the big tv to watch them with a hd lead so don't mess about burning them thanks...and use isohunt but will check those other two out as isohunt as been a bit shoddy lately and thanks for the suggestions guys i'm sure i will find summat suitable and matt i'm on about films..still workin through the sopranos and 24 at the moment...dexter is way in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_E Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Or if yer baked: 30 minutes or less, Zombieland, Kick Ass, Super, Crazy Stupid Love, The Sasquatch gang, Hot Rod. You don't need to be baked too watch those, they're great Zombieland in particular (I have a crush on Emma Stone) The others I didn't see, except for Hot Rod. It might help if you're baked when watching that one Edited October 18, 2012 by Steve_E Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm usually too busy to be watching movies but on this night am having a watch of Vintage TV. I don't know what's on the other stations but maybe the same choice of crap they always put on. Saw The Crystal Maze about an hour ago. They managed over 400 tokens in 25 seconds ?! And still didn't win a damn prize. More Silver than Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_E Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm currently watching a lot of older "comedy classics". Caddyshack, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, The Jerk, etc. A lot of them feel quite outdated though. They all have a much slower pace. Airplane! was still a lot of fun though.

It might help if you're baked when watching that one Highly recommend The Help, I was going to put an asterisk next to the Emma Stone ones to point out she was in them. You need to turn your brain off for Hot Rod for it to be funny, same goes for Sasquatch. Super is like if Kick-Ass was more realistic (sort of), less laughs but you get to see Ellen Page rape Rainn Wilson. Steve_E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 The Day of the Jackal with Edward Fox Don't Look Now with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie Quartermass and the Pit with whoever was in that and I can't quite remember The Long Good Friday with Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman and Lawrence Olivier Die Hard II with Bruce Willis Roustabout with Presley The General with Keaton Casablanca with Bogart and Bergman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super is like if Kick-Ass was more realistic (sort of), less laughs but you get to see Ellen Page rape Rainn Wilson. Already seen The Help. My Emma Stone crush is even bigger than my Alison Brie crush, so I think I've seen pretty much anything she's in. Just had a look at her filmography on Wikipedia and I have in fact seen everything except for Marmaduke, but she only voices a dog in that one and I think it's targeted at children. Not gonna watch that one. Anchorman: the legend of Ron Burgundy is the best comedy of all time btw Closely followed by Superbad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of Farrel, I only laughed properly at the Steve Carell bits. Step Brother had me in tears though. Alison Brie all day, just look at the .gifs What did you think of Paper Man?

Steve_E Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Pierce is the funniest character on the show though. The crazier he gets, the funnier he is: This is such a random joke, how do you come up with that: If you guys are looking for a sitcom, you should all watch Community. It's great.
