Use this thread to recommend films you have seen that may interest other readers  My recommendations are Interstate 84 - a low budget American film directed by Kevin Spacey The Bothersome Man - A Norwegian film - excellent Fateless - A Hungarian film about the holocaust - Very moving and far better than the rubbish that is The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Flashbacks Of A Fool - Daniel Craig plays an English Hollywood star who remembers his teenage years growing up in the 70's The Last Picture Show - excellent film made in 1971 but set in Texas in 1952 and filmed in Black & White .. in the same style as Cool Hand Luke and the suchlike All great (IMHO) films |

Millions, directed by Danny Boyle. Maybe everyone already knows about this one, but it was new to me and I was completely enchanted.

One that didn't get great reviews last year when it came out, but I liked it - Paper Towns with Cara Delevingne (don't be put off by Cara, she is very good)....had a second viewing of it the other day, on Sky Movies, I like it even more.  |

"Coldblooded" - Jason Priestly, Peter Riegert, Michael J Fox - A black comedy Priestly is a bookie for the mob but is "promoted" to hitman against his will. He is trained by Riegert. "Nick of Time" - Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken - Depp is a father coerced into killing the Governor of California. Plays out in real time. Good film, despite not performing well on release. "Razorback" - A sort of cross between "Moby Dick" and "A Cry in the Dark" (an Australian film, too). "Lions for Lambs" - Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise - Criticised on release, I like it, and I think it will be a better watch post Chilcott. Possibly Cruise's best performance in a film (OK, 2nd after "Tropic Thunder"  ), the end will leave you unsettled. "Babel" - Ambitious and well made, easily Brad Pitt's best film. |

Can't believe I forgot this one, but it was on TV the other evening...
"Elysium", staring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, and William Fitchner. It's a bit on the nose, in its message, and sometimes gory, but it goes along at a nice pace, is not without humour, and it isn't all sweetness and light at the end.

I loved Millions and want to adopt the little boy in it ...he has to stay at that age though...he was adorable. The Station Agent is one of the many films I would recommend....great film. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_Agent |

Watched 'Everest' last night, based on a true story about 8 climbers who lost their lived when climbing it.Beautifully filmed but quite a hard watch especially if you suffer from verigo.  Gets 7.1/10 from IMBd but we thought it was worth more than that. |

Did anyone see "Inside Man"? I'm sure it'll be around on various other channels over the next week, or so, but this is a really good heist movie with a twist, and told in a unique way. Clive Owen, Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher plummer.

Kingsman, the dog's whatsits if you want fun, escapism and can stand a bit of swearing which normally turns me off but not in this instant . |

Kingsman is just fantastic, violent, sweary fun. The denouement is fantastic. I've got one: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Why isn't this a franchise?  This could easily be the new Bond. It's got great actors, amazing and interesting characters, and the style is unique in film. So so enjoyable! |
