Well, that thread has just had me thinking about films
So I'll go back to something I'm sure must have popped up at some point.

What films do you like that not many others have heard of?

For me, you've got Boondock Saints 1 and 2, along with Versus.

All 3 are violent and silly in equal measures.

Also, "Låt den rätte komma in" is absolutely brilliant.

How about you lot?

Alt Q: What's the worst film you've ever paid to see? Mine was War Of The Worlds, pile of unmitigated shite.

Easy - The Avengers remake

War of the Worlds was bloody terrible
but not as bad as the time I went to the cinema with friends after not sleeping for 30 hours. They didn't tell me what we were seeing until I got there.

Father of the Bride. 2.

hang on a minute, what am i talking about? a choice between the committed, sweet, caring character who does her washing up and buys her a massive diamond ring? or the lying, cheating, two-timing womaniser who shags his wife with his girlfriend in the closet? of course i'd pick the bastard, every time.

Worst film I paid to see? Hmmm. Wild Wild West was pretty dire. The last half an hour of AI pretty much ruined the previous 2 1/2 hours.

I would strongly recommend watching Nausicaa in subtitled Japanese, as Shia Labeouf's voice "acting" is immensely jarring next to Patrick Stewart's sonorous tones.

I have all the Ghibli films and have always watched them Subbed
Until recently when I have begun showing them to my two year old who can't read. I don't think I like them so much in English. I did raise a smile the other day when I was woken up by Akira singing "Totoro To Tor OH!" at the top of her voice.

Saw a very unusual Ghibli the other day - Grave of the Fireflies. Unusual because it's not remotely fantastical and unbelievably fucking depressing. Good though
