Crash (2004)

Just thought I'd give a heads up for this film for those who haven't seen it.

It's one of those films that takes your breath away

I was left sitting there in shock at how good it was and just closed my eyes when the credits rolled in awe of the whole film.

Sounds gay, but when you watch it you'll understand

Here is the imdb link

If you haven't seen this film, watch it, now :cool:

It was about 10x better than 28 days later that i re-watched last week, utter trash IMO

Paul Haggis, I salute you

This made me laugh^.

Indeed, Crash is an incredibly good movie. Unfortunately I've only seen it once though which is disappointing - might need to pick up the DVD at some point.

I love this film, brilliant is the only word I think.

Great film - one of those truly emotionally gripping films that really affected me.

It is a good film and very moving, but it loses its potency after you realise it's just a collection of artificially manufactured harrowing events.

I thought American History X was less forced and much better.

Aye I went to the cinema to see this when it came out. Came out of the cinema blown away by it, something which has only happened twice to me, other time was american pie 2

I really didnt like crash, felt it was way to forced.

I'm sorry, what?

I watched it after all the hooha from the Oscar buzz, 4 years on I think all i remember is that gun scene thing with the family.

I remember the feeling of "Good movie but i never want to watch this again", still don't.

Personally I think American Pie 1 + 2 will be seen as classics in 10-20 years time

In the same way as Breakfast Club, Weekend At Bernies etc.

Watched this on TV last year I think it was and didn't think much of it at all.

Great film, seen it so many times. It was one of the first films I had watched in this style where different people's storylines come together, brilliantly done.

Absolutely brilliant film. Worth the recommendation.

I thought it was quite good

one of the actors tho... didnt suit the film! The guy from 'there's something about mary'

I liked it a lot, but wouldn't call it stunning. The role of "fate" seems to feature a little too strongly for me; a lot of the opinion changes of the characters are too circumstantial, and don't feel like they are connected necessarily to anything stronger.

And why on earth are you comparing it to 28 Days Later!?! They're totally different
