Me too. Forgot how enjoyable it was! First time seeing it in all it's HD glory too, with great audio to match. Well worth a re-watch.

For those not up on this years Academy Awards, Google have put together a good page for it:

So many from each category deserve to win this year. Best actor in a supporting role this year has all five nominees as previous Oscar winners!

I don't think their contribution made it anywhere near the final cut. Have you seen Snatch? If not forget The Sweeney and watch that instead. If you've seen Snatch, try Layer Cake.

In fact, only watch The Sweeney if you've seen every other British movie that's ever been made first.

Catch the new one, Silver Linings...and also Garden State. :D
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Silver Linings definitely, but some of the classics spring to mind too. 'Say Anything' with John Cusack is great, as is 'There's Something About Mary' which is hilarious!

Edit: Amélie is an unmissable french romance movie which you might enjoy too.
[Off-topic] coolsandie:
Silver Linings Playbook is definitely in my list. Will look forward in watching the Garden State. After all Natalie Portman is cute :P

I'm wondering how did I miss 'Say Nothing' because after watching John Cusack's 'Serendipity' I was convinced by his performance and I was searching for similar ones. And will look forward in watching 'There's something about Mary'.

Have watched Amélie a couple of times, and I guess I had written about it in this Thread before, and Dirk, I remember you acknowledged about it before too, lol. Truly an unmissable movie. Audrey Tautou's other movie which I pretty much liked was 'Dirty pretty things' and performance wise its a win for Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Malayalam dubbed movies are even more hilarious :D Shows up most of the time in Surya

They showed MIB recently and man...LMAO

In Malayalam, it became "enthada chekka nee cheyyunu" in a tone which makes yyou wanna laugh :D

Haha, that's even worse. In Malayalam, only two or three dubbing artists would be only there to provide voices for every actors in the movie and they modulate their voices themselves too for other characters especially female one's. :laugh:

There are tons of Asian movies which are pretty good especially the Japanese and the Korean ones.

The Hobbit was pretty amazing IMO. Way better than the Lord of The Rings trilogy. After seeing Martin Freeman do Dr. Watson in Sherlock, I doubted his capability as Bilbo Baggins but he definitely proved me wrong
[Off-topic] mikef:
Re: Off-Topic Movies Thread

Pretty amazing, yes, but not up there yet with LOTR. I need to see the other two movies first before going any further than that myself. I have read The Hobbit 20 times since I was a kid and so far it is about what I expected...I am not a purist like some people so I don't hold him to the original story only but I don't think Azog needed to be such a prominent character. Made the story too much about Thorin instead of about Bilbo.
[Off-topic] roofrider:
Okay. Hobbit wasn't bad, imo it was good. Doesn't better LOTR in any way but i will be looking forward to the coming parts. Also, haven't read the book so i don't have much to complain about there. I think they are attempting to make a trilogy, whereas the book is only one part unlike LOTR, so a little skeptical there. But i have no complaints. del Toro is there too. Also, it was nice to Gollum after a long time. :D

Psycho (1960) - I always thought this one was going to be lame since it's very old but it was awesome.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) - We all know who the killer actually is but damn that ending. :eek:

Identity (2003)

The Skeleton Key (2005)

Shutter (2004) - You seriously need to watch the Thai version and not the bs american one. Watch it to the end carefully and follow the story and you'll be shocked. :mad:

Knowing (2009) - Visually stunning. 7.5/10

Gran Torino (2008) - After all, its Clint Eastwood and he has never failed to deliver his awesomeness. 9/10

Rescue Dawn (2006) - Great locations and great performance by Christian Bale. 8/10

A kick-ass action packed entertainer. Lots of stunt scenes makes it more good. But second half was bit let down compared to first.

It thought Argo was "Meh". Good movie, but I didn't exactly know what to expect when I watched it. It's a good movie, but I don't think I was in the right mood for that type of movie.

ZDT is a political movie, eh? There a days when I'm really interested in watching these types of movies, but I have watched Sci-Fi's and dramas lately, but I'll watch it.

What about "The Master"? Seen it? I got it, but I haven't watched it yet.

The Master was a strange one. An acting showcase for Joaquim Pheonix (did i spell it right?) more than anything else. He certainly played the role brilliantly, but the story is a little odd. Perhaps save it for a rainy day mate.

Seven Psychopaths is very entertaining. I enjoyed it.

Here's a random recommendation. Pushing Tin. I'm a John Cusack fan so it's a no-brainer for me, but Billy-Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie too and you have a great movie. It's another one of those that a lot of people missed at the time, but should try and see now.
