Have you seen anything good recently? Nothing too thought provoking, more the kind of film you can watch with friends and chat rubbish a little the same time.
The classics are usually the best, Die Hard, Predator or Rambo
It's a bit of an oldie now, but if you've not seen it then The Losers is pretty cracking.
Kill List though? Not thought provoking? 😉
Black Hawk Down.
Demolition Man is one of my faves; lots of action (AKA violence), decent Sci-fi story and really forgettable one-liners.
If Stallone, Snipes & Sandra's Bollox had a shred of acting ability it could have actually been quite good 🙂
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jnr/Jude Law in a Victorian Lock Stock)
Lucky Number Slevin (good mix of action with a good story)
Boondock Saints (classic favourite of mine)
Must admit I wasn't too impressed by Kill List, even worse I borrowed it from a friend and a week later was sent it by lovefilm. My fault, but what a waste of a credit!
We have seen al the usual classics, but will check out the losers.
Can't beat some Nicholas Cage rubbish: Con Air or The Rock are good fun.
Or an Alien/Aliens fest in the run-up to a boys night out to watch Prometheus at the end of the month?
Hamburger Hill
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Shaving Ryans Privates
Good call on the Alien films, we will be off to the cinema for Prometheus.We have seen most of those mega, but not the last one.
Machine gun preacher? Any good?
Not seen Machine Gun Preacher yet. God Bless America is worth a watch, but not as good as it could have been, in my humble opinion.
Have you seen Shoot 'em Up? WAY better than I thought it would be. No plot whatsoever, but the action scenes are pretty awesome. Which is most of the film...
Pretty sure I have seen 'shoot em up', but can't really remember it. We quite like war based films like Tears of the sun, Black Hawk Down, Blood Diamond.. , not sure if there are any recent ones though.
Is machete any good?
knives, boobs, guns, jessica alba. Ultra (comically) violent.
What's not to like?
*adds Machete to watch list*
Can't think of any recent war type fillums, though I'm sure there have been a few.
Apocalypse Now is still pretty much unsurpassed for utter mentalness
Apocalypse Now is good, but seen many times.
Planet Terror is a good watch if you liked Machete.
Really enjoyed "Tucker and Dale vs Evil"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/
Zombieland? You HAVE seen Zombieland right?
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Excellent film, best watched though (too good to talk through/over)
I'll have a look at planet terror thanks.
Hobo with a shotgun
or
Drive Angry
Both daft and rubbish, but oddly brilliant at the same time!
13th Warrior
It's a very silly film with Vikings, swords, fights, mud and rain - what's not to like.
Bonkers....

Some of Denzel Washington's films make for a good boys night film. Man on Fire is a cracker!!
Machete is ace IMO.
Same goes for Training Day.
Seen training day, man on fire, zombieland and 13th warrior, just added Machine gun preacher to my lovefilm list. We usually only talk if the film is a let down.
Dead Snow (good for a laugh)
TT - Closer to the Edge
The Transporter
Payback
Hurt Locker
If you liked Zombieland you'll probably love The Losers.
Ronin
Bagstard - MemberMachine gun preacher? Any good?
Good but not what you're looking for.
The Departed
True Grit 2010 version
Green Zone
Dead Mans Shoes
Any of the Bourne films.
Hurt Locker
Green Mile
Hunt for red October is a classic
Black Hawk Down really annoyed me...
Super
Red State
+ 1,000,000 for Dead Snow - Zombie Nazis hell yeah!
On Golden Pond
30 Days of Night.
Equilibrium.
Unleashed.
District 13.
Children of Men.
Some random ones off the top of my head.
Sin City
Brokeback Mountain...
I can't believe that we have got this far down the list and nobody has mentioned:
1. The Shawshank Redemption.
2. Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs
3. No Country For Old Men
4. Jaws
5. Duel
or
6. Deliverance.
WTF people!! 🙄
30 days of night
Inglorius bastaerds
U turn
Inception
Battle royale
Under Siege. Has to be a classic and on DVD you won't have it going all fuzzy as the old VHS from the corner shop used to go at THAT moment as it used to back when we were students with a case of Super Bock to drink.
Leon
Kick Ass
Desperado
In Bruges
The Bourne films
Older stuff you might have missed...
Smokin' Aces
Dog Soldiers
The Descent
Brotherhood of the Wolf
and if you can be arsed with subtitles, the two 'Mesrine' films, Killer Instinct and Public Enemy No.1
Southern Comfort
Any Bond film
Mad Max
Stander
Under Siege. Has to be a classic and on DVD you won't have it going all fuzzy as the old VHS from the corner shop used to go at THAT moment as it used to back when we were students with a case of Super Bock to drink.
Kill Bill
Tarantinos "Dusk till Dawn" is a laugh. Usual ultra violence, with a twist.
Actually Dog Soldiers might just about be the best thing on here!
Boys night has been happening every thursday night for eleven years, hence almost all the above films have been watched.

OK, give us a list of the 572 films you've seen so far, and we can recommend some new ones. 😀
How about House of 1000 Corpses or The Devils Rejects? Both good for a laugh with a beer.
No-one's mentioned Kelly's Heroes- what has the world come to?
Three Kings.
rogg, we don't always watch a film, but often do. Not much that is good slips through the net, but I've noted a few down from the replies, mesrine for one. We seem to be watching them faster than they can make them.

I know, it's easy to do, especially with the crap being churned out right now (Battleships, anyone?)
And not many of the suggestions above really qualified as 'hidden gems' did they?
How about:
A Prophet (French)
Sin Nombre (Mexican)
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (maybe a bit slow for boys night, but worth a watch)
Elite Squad (Brazil)
Commando?
The Expendables
The Bill and Ted films - Excellent!
Then Waynes World
I've seen a prophet and of course commando (classic boys night fodder), is the Expendables worth a watch?
Definitely seek out District 13. And watched Ip Man a couple of weeks ago on FilmFour, brilliant kung-fu film, highly recommended.
Zombie An*l Nun Killers III
if you can read, 36 (French) is absolute quality.
The first Matrix film
Collateral
Batman Dark Knight
The Lost Boys
The Taking of Pelham 123 (the original)
Goodfellas.
Just remembered. Don't think anyone has mentioned Heat.
The bank shootout in surround sound makes you feel like you have to take cover under the coffee table.
