Film recommends, specifics

[killa]

I know there is the film review thread but I’m after specifics really.

I’ve come to realise my film collection is great BUT, I think I could count the films that don’t contain guns and action on one hand.
I love thought provoking films, or just something pleasant but I’ve been massively disappointed in the past by some recommends.
I watched ‘The Music Of Chance’ again the other night, a fantastic film, but totally forgot it gets a little dark three quarters of the way through. Nevertheless, a must see if you haven’t seen it.
I have seen it but need to watch again, ‘The Lives Of Others’. Something I wouldn’t have picked it myself but glad of the recommend.
So I’m not fussed about genre really. I really don’t get on with ‘chick flicks’ anything like ‘Stepmom’ Julia Roberts tripe. I want something meaty but not overall dark and murderous. The films that make you go ‘Holy crap!’ But doesn’t require someone’s eyes being ripped out for that reaction.

Limitless is good, just released - Has Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.

Unstoppable also with Denzel Washington.

Enjoyed them both very much.

Liam Neeson is my man of the moment, Taken and Unknown are both fantastic films.

Is unknown, just jumping on the bandwagon of Taken as it were, or is it different and a good film in it's own right ?

Unknowns alright, nothing special and nowhere near as good as Taken.

Film reccomendations from me -


Dark City
The Adjustment Beaureu
Moon
Dazed and Confused

Unknown and taken were both shit IMO, Liam Neeson is a talentless mong.

Some good films not involving guns (or limited amounts of guns):

Shutter Island - very clever film, very enjoyable and a total mind fuck. One of my favourite films of the past few years and I go to the cinema most weeks.


Source code was worth a watch.


Adjustment bureau and limitless were both pretty good.


Everyone has seen inception and IMO they explained it all a little too much but it was still very good.


Going back a few years, blade runner and butterfly effect are still a brilliant watch if you haven't seen them.

Fearless - the 1993 film with Jeff Bridges

I would recommend -

Pans Labyrinth - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457430/

The Pianist - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/

The Motorcycle Diaries - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318462/

Black Swan - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0947798/

Nice different range of titles there and I'd say every single one is a must see and I rate them all quite highly
