No one's convinced me to see any of the films they have listed yet, so give me a good reason to! (Unless i've seen them already). Thats two people you know that liked The Watchmen Shiven, but the graphic novel is alot better. To the people that haven't read The Watchmen it just comes off as a clustered mess of yellow tinged violence and inane dialogue. Because most audiences are too entrenched in typical hollywood garbage and wouldn't understand the original ending they changed it. It just shows the typical immaturity of the average movie go-er when all people could focus on was the phallic imagery. So instead of Dr.Manhattan being framed by Veidt and causing a massive explosion which people blame Manhattan for and claim he betrayed them as he was the hero that stopped the cold war is, Veidt is actually the savoir. Veidt creates alien creatures that are set to trigger and cause an attack where there is no enemy (like when countries come together after the tragedy of natural disaster) and ceasing the cold war as it indicates in the very ending of the film and novel. I'm sorry if i sound very pedantic and snobby i just get really annoyed about this particular film. But hey i'm getting worked up over a comic that was written by a pretentious british guy with the ugliest beard the world has ever seen.

Oh and Shiven i went to see Inglourious Basterds with Fergus, fantastic film though alot of people will get annoyed with the non english speaking segments. Alot of the dialogue about german film is panned by alot of critics who don't understand the relevance of it at the end of the film. Also plently of violence if you like that.

City of God is a hard hitting, emotional, powerful Brazillian movie which is very critically acclaimed. City of God is based on a true story making it all the more shocking. This movie helped me come out of my stubborness for foriegn movies and really appreciate the art of film. The shocking context and fantastic acting helps make this a must see. Several different plot lines come together to provide a huge blockbuster ending. It's been dubbed the Brazilian Goodfellas. My advice is go see it as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed.

Yeah definitely watch City Of God, the scene where the boy has to decide which child to shoot as they cower and cry on the ground was one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have seen in a movie.

I have Seven Pounds to watch, as well as Quarantine. Quarantine is a remake of [REC] and in my opinion is alot better.

The reason why City Of God is such a powerful film is the simple fact it is a true story. I can just imagine with all the horrible imagery in the film, the stuff they actually had to leave out must have been brutal. Definitely see it by any means you can though.

I would recommend the movie snatch to all those who like crime based movies with dark humor.It's a guy richie film with his usual cast and an additional Brad pitt who has the weirdest accent you'll hear ever.
