What to watch?

Post by Chris Corbyn »

So I'm gonna watch a Movie from my On-Demand listings with NTL... not bothered if it's recent or not.

I'm split between an old family film I don't need to pay attention to, or something more involving.

What would you go for out of this list I've narrowed it down to?

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (The 1993 remake... seen it before)
Turner and Hooch (seen)
The Usual Suspects (seen, but very good)
Amelie (not seen)
John Lennon: Imagine (Autobiography) (not seen)
Snatch (not seen)
Reservoir Dogs (not seen)
A clockwork Orange (don't think I've seen it...)

This 7% beer is addictive :?

All my friends love reservoir dogs, but I thought that it ended right when it was about to finally have a point. Snatch... is that the one with Brad Pitt? If so... it's pretty awesome.

Ok I've ruled out the family movies and thrown in two extra ones:

One Day In September (not seen)
Shooting Dogs (not seen)

Got about ten mins :P Probably swaying heavily to shooting dogs based upon its description.

Anyone seen the Constant Gardener? That's an awesome movie.

Reservoir dogs was a little graphic for me. I am not usually turned off by blood and severed body parts, but there was something about that way that movie progressed that made me turn it off.

Amelie is a brilliant movie if you like quirky stuff. And Audrey Tautou is super fine. That helps.

Too slow :P

Nah, I watched One Day In September. Hardly a movie, definitely just a long documentary but I'm not disappointed :)

It's about the terrorist fiasco at the 1972 Munich Olympics for those who've not seen it. Nasty outcome.

RD...it's a tarrintino flick...their always f**ked up...thats what make them cool...unlike blockbusters which I can totally predict 99% of the time...

Snatch...Irish gypsie's bare knuckle boxers...that is a great movie...makes me proud to be part Irish :P

Clock work orange...Stanely Kubrick...another screwed up flick...totally wacked...but old compared to RD and Snatch...so in a slightly different way...

The three movies have violence...are screwed up...and at least two koo koo directors (Who did Snatch Guy Ritchie or something??)

Great movies...among my top fav for sure...although I don't watch alot of movies...so whats that saying i dunno

I would watch Clockwork Orange far above any of the other movies you mentioned. This movie is a classic. My second choice would be Reservoir Dogs.
