[Closed] What film shall I watch tonight?

Sicaro? Man on Fire,

It's a few years old now but have you seen Ex-Machina? Worth a look. Sicario is pretty decent too but I was just left a tiny bit underwhelmed by the ending.

If you like Bourne/Bond, The Accountant was better than I'd expected.

Sicario looks ok, what's Blunt like tho as I was a bit underwhelmed by her performance in Girl on Train...

Completely and utterly unconvincing. She's okay when she has to look miserable or upset at something but when she needs to move around, say with a gun ( I think she even has a fight scene iirc) it's laughable.

Luckily Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Torro are pretty excellent.

Before Sunrise (1998) Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpie

Nesbo's Headhunters (2011)

The Intouchables (2011)

All very different. All sublimely entertaining IMO

Another vote for Ex Machina of you've not seen it.

'City of God' if you like newish stuff, 'Rio Bravo' if you like older movies.

(not sure there in itunes though)

The Big Lebowski

21 Grams

Triangle

Or

Put Pearl Harbor on and go for a ride.

If you like Bourne/Bond, The Accountant was better than I'd expected.

Sorry, it's got Ben Affleck in it!!!

Also a fan of the Coen bros, so seen Big Lebowski...

How about a modern day cowboy movie ?

Hell or high Water

Action with social commentary.... Really enjoyed it. In fact found myself on the edge of my seat towards the end.

And

Jeff Bridges is in it

Fury is on terrestrial at 9.

Last film I watched was 'The Road' - post-apocalyptic film where not that much happens but is big on tension, atmosphere and plain dread. Based on a pulitzer prize winning book. Its not one to watch if you're feeling a bit emotionally unstable though as I was. I blubbed like a baby at the end.

EDIT: I thought it was brilliant however

The greasy strangler

The Road ... Film and book are old favourites on here.

And as much I.... enjoyed? No... Loved? No... was transfixed? Yeah ... by both, now I've got a lad coming up to that age they might leave even more of an impression. And I'm honestly a little bit scared by that.... haunting !!

Right, The Road is on my list.

If"The Way" is available (Martin Sheen) worth a watch.

Young Offenders is very amusing, Irish film about two chavs trying to make it big. Good bit of biking in it too.

Whiplash is brilliant

Anything at all by the Coen brothers would do it for me.

+1 No Country for Old Men or O Brother Where Art Thou? are still regular faves after OD'ing on the TBL

Apocalypto

Or ...........Enter the Dragon

Tinker Tailor soldier spy....

Another suggestion for The Accountant.

In Bruges

Kingsman tickled me recently, it's absurd but just the right side of absurd.

True Grit may still be on iplayer. A really excellent film.

...except Hail Caesar.

Edge of Tomorrow is a hoot. Ridiculous, but good. Not only Blunt but Cruise too so you'll have to forgive it a lot before you even start. I liked Sicario.

Or like davros says, True Grit if it's still on iPlayer for nowt.

The Road awaits..

Just in time because I forgot it's (W)Red Nose Day innit.. and I can't stand RND.

Blue Ruin - lovely low budget revenge movie

Threads. Always cheery.

"]Anything at all by the Coen brothers would do it for me."
Yep.
I think there's one on the BBC I player at the moment . "A simple plan" if my memory serves me ...

A day left to watch.

That version of True Grit is indeed most excellent 🙂 +1

Yep... True Grit is good

And

Jeff Bridges is in it

Is he officially now STW's favourite actor?

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot anyone?

What did you end up watching OP?

What did you end up watching OP?

I have bookmarked some of the suggestions, but ended up watching Ferris Buellers Day Off and then fell asleep after the surf scene in Apocalypse Now 🙂

Django Unchained.

Mr Church.
Quite enjoyed it.
