Agreed, not sure if it's the best thing on TV but it's definitely the most exciting. Especially series 1 and 2
Bourne, Bond etc - Spec me

24 is a TV series? I'm pretty sure I've seen it whilst passing through the room on a couple of occasions, didn't quite fancy it.
I've also added Body of Lies to my list.
Yeah 24 is a TV series, season 1-3 are the best and they spank Bond/Bourne.
Seen them. Infact, I quite fancy watching The Rock again.
Might buy it.I'm seriously considering 24 now, how much would a box set generally set you back these days?

Infernal Affairs
One of the best of this type of film I can remember seeing. It's been remade in English as well, but I can't remember the name of the remake. Think it might have been Scorsese, though, if you can be bothered to look it up (which I clearly can't
).
I've seen both and both are good, but the Hong Kong original is superior imho, and a great undercover/espionage type film.

Yes! That's it. We saw both within a couple of weeks of each other without realising one was a remake of the other.
I preferred the original, to be honest. That might be because we saw it first, and then were all "huh?!" when watching The Departed later on.
Having said that, the original just seemed more atmospheric and a bit more dark and brooding. It seemed to fit the setting of Hong Kong better as well, imo. Really good film that I'd highly recommend. Er, unless you've seen The Departed then you'll pretty much know the basic plot!

It's not new and it doesn't have big effects but 'The Day of The Jackal' is really good plot wise. It's worth a watch.
I wouldn't put a modern Nicholas Cage movie in with the likes of Jason Bourne. 
I've not seen these. Isn't The Unit a channel 5 TV show?
The only promising movie from that list would be 88 minutes....How would you guys rate it?
