    post your favourites that your fellow reprobates may not have seen , or even heard of , yet to you , are undiscovered gems of the cinematic era.

    they can be from any period (in fact , i'll wager a lot will be B+W)

    Here goes............................

    anything starring Will Hay , but mainly ........'oh mr porter' and 'the ghost of st michaels'

    'the ghost train' with arthur askey

    'what a carve up'................sid james

    'school for scoundrels'.............terry-thomas

    the cat and the canary.................the ghost breakers.........both bob hope.

    there must be hundreds

    add your own pop-pickers

    I'd imagine a few people would have seen it cause it is quite recent but i recommend Control, a film about Ian Curtis.

    Agreed. Was so disappointed with BR2.

    Another movie people might like is 'Event Horizon'. Good thriller/horror.

    Garden state.

    Zach Braff(J.D from scrubs). first film as lead man and director stars natalie portman.
    It's a comedy about the drug habbits of new jersey youth's and their lives in general, following Zach Braff's character as he comes off of his various anti depressants and uses recreational drugs instead

    Blazing Saddles :icon_mrgreen:

    City of Angels - Hate Nicolas Cage but its a good film

    Grandmas Boy - Recent, about a games tester ( comedy )

    Resident Evil: Degeneration - Based just after Resident Evil 2 the game, follows the story of Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy in CGI format.

    (for the ladies who like soppy stories)

    Notebook - my bro wanted me to download it for the burd he was seeing at the time, shes since gone and i still have the film downloaded. Haven't actually got round to watching it because of the above stated, its a sop story.
