my gift to you

Brutal, dark, violent crime heist film. Say, take Ocean's Eleven and put it on steroids and pot, stick it in a cupboard for three weeks and throw in Hawkeye (slash Jeremy Renner) and you have the Town. Sah and I tried to get you to watch this, and its really worth it. It even has a slightly under deleloped love story interwoven into this gem.

This is regarded as the best film ever made. its just one of those movies that you cant really fault, but you cant figure out why its so good. maybe its the fact that one man can make you want do the right thing so easily that you wonder how you came to watch this film? hmm, same goes for " The Green Mile" similar genre for each but if you like one, you'll love the other one.

Okay so this is a legendary cult spaghetti western. If you like it, check out other stuff like "A Few Dollars More" and "A Fistful of Dollars". This one is long at almost 3 hours so if you wanna start of smaller then... don't watch western movies. but this is pretty badass.

You probably havent seen this but it probably has the greatest ending of all 90s films, possible of all time. The characters are really awesome and its a bloody good mystery. Kevin Spacey's performance is absolutely brilliant and he won the oscar so, check it out...

12 Angry Men is just a classic story. Its simple but elegant and its courtroom so i like it. Might not be your kind of thing, but if you like it or want to try something similar, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is cool but super old aswell.

Basically, if you havent seen this (i presume you have) go watch it right now because the film narrative is mind blowing. Its not in chonological order so its tough to keep up but once you figure it out, you will spend days thinking: what the hell did I just watch. This guy has his wife murdered but due to an accident, he develops a short term memory disfunction which means he has no short term memory at all, you can imagine this would be problematic for a guy trying to solve the murder of his own wife. I have the chronological ordered version of this movie if you want it I can find a way to get it to you.

My shotgun is loaded if you havent seen it. the comedy is brilliant and its just fun to watch.

maybe youve seen it, probably havent. Its not one of those films that I tell everyone, omg you have to watch this, but it is classic and Ripley is a pretty cool chick. the aliens are crap your pants scary but with your uncanny gore indecency, it probably doesnt hold the thrills as it would for some. but check it out if youre bored. the sequel is awesome, "Aliens", havent seen the others, heard they were rubbish.

Alright, I planned on giving you the: I love film and maybe you dont love it as a whole so some things I watch arent for everyone speech, but instead ill just say this. If you dont like watching old movies that are a tad lame at times in your view, dont watch hitchcock, but I love him and his movies are revolutionary so i shall run through some: Rear Window: broken leg guy stares at his neighbours and one of them is a serial killer, could be viewed as a little boring, dont start with this one. Vertigo: woahh, this was the first Inception/Matrix/Total Recall "hell no this cant be real" movie. (but its simple at its core) Rope/Dial M For Murder: the latter was remade into an enjoyable film recently called "A Perfect Murder". Both movies are murder mysteries but with lots of elements and cool plot stuff in there which i like. Psycho: I thought this would be very different to what it is. The horror is kinda.. actually scary because its so niave for a thriller. The villain is insane but like I said, be selective, this film is 52 years old. Strangers on a Train/North by Northwest/The Man Who Knew Too Much: id start with n by nw, because its just really entertaining, but hey, whatever you want... if you even got this far down the list.

idk if you have seen this so ill pretend you havent. the girl in this movie (kate winslet) is perfect for you in everyway and the comedy in this film is so subtle and in your face at the same time you arent sure whether to be offended or quietly pretend you didnt get the joke, but its really funny and its an insanely awesome script and a really cool concept. you can erase someone from your mind entirely, just jim carrey is having some troubles adapting to this...

the whole series is really ballsy action with lots of good sequences and some pretty cool villains. watch it.

You better have watched this (if you have then watch memento) on a note because Im sick of saying: you better have watched this. tell me if you have watched Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, the Godfather, new James Bond and all the X-Men, theyre all cult classics.

its not the horror which the ads make it out to be, but it is bone chilling purely because of the script and "what if i told you your world was not real" type ending. that wasnt a spoiler just for the record.

This is a psycho drama about this super smart college nerd who is contacted by the FBI/CIA, but all is not what it seems. Since Crowe and Connelly one acting oscars for this, its worth a watch. multiple mind fs in order.

I swear, I thought the credits would just be a giant troll sign... this is freaking brilliant. like, I highly recommend this if you havent seen it. a guy gets a birthday present to play 'the game' and after he alledgedly starts playing, his life gets.... strange.

Sadistic story telling at its beautiful best. It is violent, it is profane and it is magical because its just smart and way, way too "well, crap does happen"

modernised, dramatized version of 12 Angry Men but with some awesome acting which shows Cruise and Nicholson pulling out the big guns. Court case about logic over law which is pretty thought provoking.

Im going through my favourite Cruise movies here, but this one is pretty damn good. Its got a tiny bit of Total Recall about it, but its way smarter with a cool ending and some awesome futuristic interpretations.

Okay so this is a real filmy film for a guy like you, since its a bit slow with low action content, but its a brilliantly pieces political thriller which was nominated for Best Picture back in 99. Freedom and redemption prominantly themed.

this is some nice crime drama, problem is that its a 3 hour long action movie. pacing is far from slow, my only issue is that its a bit of an anticlimax. but not disappointing with a really hot 15 year old natalie portman and some nice shoot outs.

Dude this is really funny man. Its got heaps of good crime action and plot but the one liners are killers and John Goodman is an absolute pearler. pluse, the name characters name is Jeff, so win!

I am not even joking in the slightest. It is camp and slightly cheesey but it is bloody amazing. It just has everything, great comedy, great script, strange and good acting with some awkward puns and some funny spoof sets which make this unbelievable enjoyable.

As you may have realised by now, I like heist/crime movies, and this one is awesome. I got Sah to watch it and he would not shut up about the ending and epicness of Clive Owen. WATCH CHILDREN OF MEN ALSO IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT. its like dystopian post apocolyptic where there is one baby left on the world and its ultra cool.

see above.

You think that Iron Man and Batman Begins are real superheroes? Try this one, Sah died after watching. Cool ending, hellishly real story.

Mix Assassin's Creed and Mission Impossible and you would get something like this. Just with a hell of a lot more character development that just appears with some brilliant action shots and some directing that it is award worthy.

Time travel, Bruce+Brad and some epic wide screen shots and a pretty cool ending. Gosh ive said that a few times but seriously.

Umm, woah. if you want to become insane, pretend your life goes like this guys does. but man, this movie surprised me.

In all honesty, once you know the premise of this movie, a lot of the excitement is taken out of it. and it may be slighly, and i do mean slightly cheesy, but it is a really solid action film which has a horrible villain, which makes him awesome. but yeah, you judge. its cool

been framed for your wife's murder? excaped from death sentence after a freak train crash? addicted to Harrison Ford pretending to be 30 years old? well if you can relate to any of these, its a really interesting movie and Im basically sick of telling you why to watch these movies.

LOLS. just an ode to some other films that might be worth watching: Maltese Falcone: good, but old. mystery with some suspense. Casablanca/Citizen Kane: really famous american films, historically breathtaking but might leave you a little bored. Road to perdition: father is a killer, son finds out. how do you deal with such a loss of innocence? intriguing... The Sting: 1973 best picture, bunch of crooks pulling off some nice robberies. (ditto with Dog Day Afternoon but more of a long hostage situation) John Q; recent denzel washington which is similar hostage story but with a twist. O' Brother Where Art Thou: wow the comedy is amazing with some great KKK jokes and a fun adventure.
