not a bad one, Christine...Clap


if you like that, also try Carol Reed's 'The Third Man' and Welles' 'Touch Of Evil'....Wink

Thanks! I'll be sure to check both out!

Reminds me of another Sean Connery sci-fi, although I would describe it as an average effort at best (interesting concept though).

I rarely watch slasher movies, but this one's pretty funny, especially because of the villain.

Cape Fear and The Hole are two of my favourite films. Sweeney Todd is also very good.

Comedy : Superbad (if you haven't seen it it's a must)

Great movie in general : The Pianist (very emotional movie, very very good.)
 
also try Detroit Rock City, it's a great comedy about 4 guys trying to see Kiss, hilarious.

Recent movie out of (gasp ) Hollywood - but very good take on the serial killer genre:



For once, Costner goes for subtlety rather than all-out & William Hurt is excellent as his (and this is not giving the game away at all) imaginary friend/concience:
