Oh I also loved “the Bucket List”! But I’m with you, they had so much room for more than they did.
Friends is great too and even just thinking about all these movies is cheerin me up!
Thanks folk!
Oh and remember, “Chicken Soup, the only way to fight a cold” B-TAS
Oh well then - Sleepless in Seattle!
Oh! Ferris Buler’s Day Off!
if you want a good xmas one,
what about jingle all the way,its great for kids too :)
So what have you watched/rented so far?
Because I haven’t left my house the whole weekend I haven’t rented any but I have watched Bruce Almighty, Bean(because my boys luvs it!), Chocolat, Elf & Mean Girls also some of Lost season 3 and couple of episodes of friends when its been on the T.V. Its been a good! I’ve been sufficiently lazy!! Lol!
I’m a little late to this party I know but since no-one else has mentioned this, I feel I have to.
THE best feel-good film of all time is My Neighbour Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki.
If you need cheering up, go out and buy or rent it right now, then sit down and watch it with an open mind.
I promise you you won’t regret it.
Just so you know, it’s anime and is in Japanese originally.
But there’s an English-dubbed version which is good too if you don’t like subtitles.
I’d imagine that any DVD of it you find will have both the Japanese and English dubs but, depending on your preferences, that might be something to look out for.
Either way though, it’s still the sweetest, most magical film I’ve ever seen.
I like battle royale and nightwatch(russian which I watched in russian without subtitles and still managed to enjoy) love old boy too think thts korean, never really watch any of the anime stuff tho…
Yeah, Oldboy’s Korean.
Still haven’t seen it myself though.
Nightwatch is a great film but I would need subtitles or an English dub personally.
Plus, it’s not really a feel-good film…
I though Battle Royale was good but the sequel was kinds disappointing IMO.
Zatoichi is an excellent film as well, definitely worth a look given you seem to be ok with non-English cinema.
Beat Takeshi is a great actor/director.
Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle are also two great Chinese comedies from Stephen Chow.
You should watch the dubbed version of KFH though because it’s deliberately down badly and adds to the humour.
Also, if you want classic Japanese cinema, then Akira Kurosawa is a must.
As for anime, if you’re fairly new to it all, then Miyazaki is a good introduction, he’s very ‘accessible’ with a number of big-budget dubs from all-star Hollywood casts but the plots, direction and animation is still all top notch.
Of his films, I’d recommend starting with either Totoro or Princess Mononoke. Mononoke is a grander film but Totoro is sweeter/more magical.
