Where do you download these? :\

Tom4784 07-08-2009 05:48 PM

I can't stand watching films on my pc, much prefer watching them on my TV. Anyway my recomondations would be:

Let the Right One In
Princess Mononoke (and generally anything Studio Ghibli, they can do no wrong in my eyes)
The Orphanage
The Royal Tenenbaums (I LOVE LOVE LOVE this film and Wes Anderson in general)
Grave of the Fireflies (Another Studio Ghibli film, but I'd reccomend it anyway. Completely heartbreaking but brilliant.)

Another great mix of films dude. Metropolis is obviously the one to watch on an aesthetic level, with some visuals still holding up and retaining their power. Amazing what German Expressionism achieved.

Have a soft spot for A Fistful of Dynamite because it's a lesser known Sergio Leone film -without having the star power of Clint Eastwood- but it has two great leads and a wonderful score by Ennio Morricone. Silly fun.

hennessy 08-08-2009 07:39 AM

Today it's
Sleeper (1973)
The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
M (1931)
The Big Sleep (1946)
Oldboy (2003)
Princess Mononoke (1997)
La haine (1995)
- TV series -
Oz

Shaun I torrent at night, if I got the dvd I'll rip it and rapidshare all day.

Dezzy I've seen all but Orphanage (I take it it is good?)
ps link the pc to the tv if you can

I've watched all films I download.
great to hear from like minded film buffs

hennessy 08-08-2009 07:45 AM

Setanta any recommendations mate?
And Ennio rocks (I got once in west abrev. theme for ringtone)

setanta 08-08-2009 08:12 AM

It depends what you're looking for Ghostface. I'll watch anything, whatever genre. What did you think of the european version of Leon? Haven't see that one in ages but remember there was much more of a sexual overtone between the two leads that probably influenced the studios when they decided to cut it again. Apparently Besson was raging over it.

hennessy 08-08-2009 08:49 AM

I prefer the "international" version, more of my fave film it's gotta be good.
It was Besson's baby so can imagine he'd be raging.
I don't think the american audiences could handle the risque eventual platonic relationship.
Can you name your top 5 LB

I'm into any decent films over all genre

Sorry, I'm a bit hungover and slow on the uptake right now. What does LB mean?

BBUK4LYFE 08-08-2009 08:58 AM

Check this one if you haven't seen it. One of my all time favorites.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245844/

hennessy 08-08-2009 09:01 AM

Luc Besson

hennessy 08-08-2009 09:02 AM

BBUK4LYFE good film but prefer the 1975 version

setanta 08-08-2009 09:14 AM

I honestly can't really answer that question properly as I'm not familiar enough with his french films, particularly the ones he's produced. I wouldn't class myself as a fan of his in the first place. He's made one or two classics but the rest I can live without- too much style over substance.

Anway..... my favs would be Leon, Fifth Element and the Big Blue. I really love the Big Blue because it's very odd but seems to be very important to the director. Has some beautiful scenes in it.

I love those kinda films...heroic, heartfelt failures that are sooo close to being perfect. So many films like Big Blue that I love but know that they're lacking in certain areas.

TheOfficialAdam 08-08-2009 09:19 AM

Leon...its amazing,
i haven't downloaded in awhile until i move back into our apartment in september.

setanta 08-08-2009 09:21 AM

Sorry, found one of his earlier ones I want to watch called Subway.

setanta 08-08-2009 09:24 AM

He also produced Nil by Mouth. Didn't realise that.

hennessy 08-08-2009 09:44 AM

Leon
Nikita
Big blue
5th element
Angel-a is a sweet film
