There Will Be Blood

I just sat there the whole time mouth agog thinking "This... is... epic"

No. You're just trying to ruin it for everyone. You're like that prankster kid who always writes something like "Ben Dover" on the substitute teacher's register when it's passed round. :evil:

Now, you see I think Donnie Darko is an over-rated film. I enjoyed it but I'm always stunned how many people say it's one of their favourites. Maybe it's an age thing. I reckon if you were a teenager when it came out it was probably perfect.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is amazing though. I'm not sure whether I prefer that or For A Few Dollars More but TGTB&TU is a bigger scale film and a total classic.

I'm a Kurosawa fan, but have only seen bits of Rashomon and Kagemusha. I suppose that means I'm not a fan but I loved what I saw of both of them

Yeah it's good but I always found it more funny than anything. The smurf dialogue is gold..

I thought the same thing, it seemed like a crappy version of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest without the crazy people.

I watched another film recently that follows a few policemen in brazil around slums, it was fucking awesome, you should check it out if you like COG. I think it's called Tropa De Elite

Yeah man, I highly highly recommend it, also the sequel to COG is pretty sweet, not as good, but a very very good film

No way! You know that's based on a movie from Hong Kong? Infernal Affairs. I couldn't really enjoy as much as the plot was pretty much identical... oh well.

I never knew that...gotta see it. Apparently that happens a lot with western movies.

I really liked The Departed though...that may have been one of the last movies i've seen in theatres
