I never use my dvd player because I have a lot of movie channels on my sat receiver, trouble is there are hardly any movies that are actually worth watching.

Jot down your favourites with brief synopsis.

The Blue planet. A natural history of the oceans.

BBC
narrated by David attenborough.

synopsis.

Better than sliced bread. No breasts.

or officially:

Narrated by David Attenborough, the extraordinary images of this marine epic reveal the sea at its most fearsome and alluring, exposing some of its best kept secrets. Enter a world of breathtaking beauty and discover new species, visit unseen habitats and witness stories of survival never caught on camera before.

Batman Begins.

Basically: Batman, er begins.

idaho transfer
one of the most cerebral movies i've ever seen.

arlington road
a twist ending will let you see "how shit happens"

Yojimbo.

Lost and Delirious.

The Hudsucker Proxy.

Bram Stoker's: Dracula.

Star Wars.

I've just watched Bad Santa. The funniest, crudest Christmas film ever? I think so.

Casino. Raging Bull. I dunno - there are 1000s.

Why not work your way through the IMDB's Top 250 (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top)? Or Rotten Tomatoes' Best of All Time (http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt_year.php) or Best of the Year (http://uk.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt_year.php?year=2006). Or browse around those sites and see what takes your fancy?

Good luck, etc.

The Blue planet
We love our nature docs, don't we? I've watched the first part of Planet Earth, shown earlier this year. 4 years in the making, and the most wide-ranging and comprehensive Attenborough series so far - featuring some of the most beautiful, astonishing footage ever broadcast on television. A must see. Almost worth paying your licence fee for.

This chase scene is unbelievable.

Yes, I know the one you mean without even looking at it. I'm so glad the little thing... but I won't spoil it. :)

Oh no, thats a different one. I was thinking of.. wait a second, let me see if I can find it..

Oh spurious... you're in for a treat!! Season 2 of the series is now showing in the UK. Look for the DVD release soon.

Amazing sequences on You Tube.

That was incredible! I can't believe how agile those animals are.

at play in the fields of the lord
-a 3 hour epic that has nothing to do with the title.

at play in the fields of the lord

That's the one about the South American aborigines, isn't it? And... a missionary that goes native?

It's been years since I've watched it. Very good.

yep.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the only DVD I own. It's quite impressive.

Still like Office Space, even though it's old.

I just saw the first episode of Planet earth.


And i came into my pants.




12 times.

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (Luis Buñuel)

I just saw Debbie does Dallas, and was astounded by the camera work and music; highly educational too.

Actually there was one thing I didn't like. Atfer the episode ended there was a small documentary on how they shot that episode.

I honestly really don't want to see that after getting so high on the real stuff. It takes away the mystery and some of the coming.

bloody hell..black adder. I used to have series 4 on DVD and watched it over and over. I can't remember where I left it. It got lost moving to the US. one more reason not to like the US.

Borat.

Borat.

The guy hasnt been assassinated yet? too bad.

'Only Fools and Horses' series. :)

I've got 30 DVD-s of it (with 3 episodes on each), but I think that single one episode of this show is enough to make your day better.

Have you seen the movie? I was sceptical that it would end up like the ALi g film, but Borat is no such let down.

I have seen the asses of his and his companion after which I left in disgust.

I guess you either appreciate the intelligence behind the comedy of the movie or run away from the non PC shocking bits.

I went to see this Borat movie thing to a theather. And saw it. I saw how he made Kazakhstan look like there are prostitutes living there. How he took his crap for everyone to see to a kitchen table. How he run naked with his companion around the hotel. This is what I saw. What I felt was: disgust, disgust, and resentment that the $8 spent did not go on an ice-cream. The only good part was the Bear...that is all.

I sense you are taking it too literally and personally.

Then why do you do stupid things like letting horses vote but not women?

Good DVDs?
Hmmm

Band of Brothers - the box-set - wonderfully made - far better than Saving Private Ryan.

Outland - classic stuff with Sean Connery - remake of High Noon on IO (moon of Jupiter)

Black Books - hilarious stuff from Dylan Moran - with Bill Bailey thrown in for trollish measure. All 3 series are top notch.

Ghost in the Shell - if you're into anime then it doesn't get any better.

not even Sumarai Champloo?
