Under rated and forgotten films.

I've seen stir of echos. Decent film.

I'd like to offer up Mr Brooks. Kevin Costner as a serial killer and family man, William Hurt as his alter ego. Very good.

I probably would like the Truman Show if I didn't have to watch it about 3 times in my English class in year 11.

Ghost Dog is great.
The set up with Dog and the guy from Haiti is great.

Wonderful score in the Truman Show from Philip Glass.

I wasted an hour and a half of my life the other day watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHbYpnutr9s&feature=related, some people might like it though.

US, we don't always see eye to eye on the film front but may I recommend:

Tonight on Film 4 - The Libertine starring Johnny Depp as an eighteenth century, mysoginistic, syphilitic, alcoholic, dandy who will bed anything that will keep still for 30 seconds. Best opening line to a film in ages and very , very good film all round. Tonight at 10.45 I believe.

Brotherhood of The Wolf (It's French but really don't let that put you off) For a good old fashioned sinister creature on the loose story youcan't beat it mate, honestly. Great fight scenes also.


One Film I really think you would love and not being sarcy is Dan In Real Life. A poigniant drama/comedy starring Steve Carrol about a man whose wife has died and he is left to raise his 3 daughters that he cannot really relate to. It plays out over a weekend on a once a year family reunion. There's more to it than that but I really think you'd like it and would be interested to hear what you think of it. Sad but very, very funny in parts.

Isn't that what you said about me the other day

Yes, well not my finest hour I'll grant you but 3 films I think you will enjoy for one reason or anther, esp Dan In Real Life.

Is Dan in real life similar to The Truman Show like Ed TV ?.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Weather Man 7.7 is a decent watch for something a bit different. Also the Woodsman 7.6 with Kevin Bacon as a paedo is well done and poignant. A brave role for Bacon to take on.

No. Here is the synopsis without spoilers:

A widower and father of three who also writes a parenting advice column for his local newspaper falls for the girlfriend of his younger brother during a family vacation in director Peter Hedges' offbeat love-triangle laugher. Steve Carell stars as the writer who finds his widely known convictions put to the ultimate test, with Dane Cook and Juliette Binoche respectively assuming the roles of the younger sibling and his radiant girlfriend. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide.


Did you ever watch the 90's TV series Northern Exposure? I think you would really like that too. One of my favourite series of all time.

This one looks good...

Happiness is a bit controversial but brilliant.

I really like Pieces of April, a youngish Katie Holmes turning in a great performance in a droll comedy that could have been filmed on a handycam.

 

[Norman Potting]

Ruthless People, Bette Midler and Danny DeVito both in top scenery chewing form in my favourite comic film,

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Kindergarten Cop

The Commitments. One of my all-time favs.
