More film suggestions please.

[flobadob]

I posted recently looking for film suggestions and got some good responses http://www.theanswerb...V/Question823830.html I particularly enjoyed Death at a Funeral and Suicide Kings and am waiting on Best in Show to arrive. The thing is, if you don't look at the link I'm looking for good films that may have slipped under the radar.

[flobadob]

Understood. If you've got any hidden gems feel free to divulge.

[tamborine]

I stumbled across "Wonder Boys" on tv, had never heard of it but enjoyed it immensely.

Glad you enjoyed Suicide Kings.
I would recommend Smokin' Aces. Should have been a mainstream hit but didn't do as well as expected in the cinema, but well worth seeing IMHO.
Have to say I found There Will Be Blood a little too drawn out, but it's easy to see why Daniel Day Lewis got the Oscar.

[thugulike]

Try The Tin Drum or The Station Agent. You should enjoy the latter if you liked Death at a Funeral.

[flobadob]

Thanks again, will check em out and prob be back for more. Wasn't overly bothered with Blood but enjoyed No Country for Old Men, which was out around the same time I think.

[flobadob]

Went to check out Smokin Aces review just now, but once I see Ben Affleck mentioned its definitely a no no for me. Station Agent and Tin Drum look good.

[Philtaz]

Don't worry about the Afleck thing! You'd hardly recognise him and........................

Spoiler Alert!



.......he dies very early in the film. He has screen time of roughly 3 minutes! It's a cameo performance, nothing more.

Are you still after comedy films particularly?

These are the last movies i've lol'd at;

Dead Man's Shoes (Best film i've seen recently but only a couple of bits of very dark lol)
Clerks & Clerks 2 (lots of lol but I know not to everybody's tastes)
Tideland (awesome Terry Gilliam film - moments of lol - Coen fans would lol)
Bronson (lots of dark lol, not the best film ever but claimed to based on true events, but I found it absorbing enough to be worried about my mental health lol)

Some of the "best movies you've never seen" are often foreign, and I can help you there if you need some titles.
