OK. I was simply blown away by this film. Even if the whole emotional thing is not for you, the cinematography and acting were just outstanding.

Can anyone recommend any other films of this calibre? I know all the famous ones, but there must be other less-well known films like Crash out there.

The problem is with "recommend a movie threads" is people say the same things over and over. So can anyone recommend a REALLY good film which isn't well known. For example, Dead Man's Shoes is incredible yet no one has ever heard of it.

Now my A levels are over I have lots of time to watch all this stuff :D

Cheers

PS... The racism/car crash Crash, not the weird sexual one :D
 
Stay
Lost In Translation
Amores Perros
Little Miss Sunshine
Collateral
American Psycho
Traffic
Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del fauno)

I'll IMDB them and consider renting/buying the DVDs.

It sucks. I actually have Amores Perros and a few hours ago my mate and I had sod all to do and were struggling to pick out a good film. We ended up with Silent Hill (which was fairly entertaining and damn right strange) but If I'd known Amores Perros was such a good film we'd have ended up watching that instead.
 
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've got down all the films in a list and I'll see what Choices/Blockbuster have in.
 
Hi everyone.

Been in Cornwall for the past few days so I didn't get a chance to watch anything until this evening. I picked up a load of the films you suggested, funnily enough a lot of them were only £3 in HMV's sale!

I've just watched Lost In Translation and whilst it doesn't really go anywhere, it is a beautiful movie. I suspect a lot of people will probably lack the maturity to appreciate it, but I personally really enjoyed it despite not being old or wise enough to relate to the beauty of the non-lust, platonic relationship it depicts. Also thought the performances were top notch. You've gotta love Bill Murray!

Tomorrow I'll watch Pen's Labyrinth and see what all the fuss is about :D

Cheers for the suggestions!

Watched Fight Club last night for the first time!

Hilarious, dark and thought provoking but most of all, a really enjoyable film that didn't have me bored at any moment.

The freaky thing was as soon as I finished watching it, I turned my TV from the dvd player input to the TV and it was on TV!!
