    Any good movie suggestions?
    I am looking for a good movie to watch tonight. Can anybody suggest some really good movies. I am up for anything. I watched I Am Legend for the first time last night. So, anything like that. I also love comedies if you know of any.

    Thanks!

    Dark Knight is the best movie out there right now, still in theaters and you might want to be a fan of Batman...

    To rent I would recommend:

    The Bank Job: Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows star in director Roger Donaldson's cinematic account of the true-life 1971 London bank robbery that baffled the authorities and fascinated the public.

    Drillbit Taylor:
    Determined not to spend their entire high-school career being tormented by the local bully, three freshmen place an ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine seeking an experienced combat veteran to protect them in this comedy produced by Judd Apatow, penned by Seth Rogen and Kristofor Brown, and starring Owen Wilson.

    Be Kind Rewind:
    When a bumbling movie lover becomes magnetized while attempting to sabotage a local power plant and accidentally erases all of the videotapes in the small video store where his best friend works, the pair attempt to keep the store's loyal customer base by remaking as many of the top-renting movies as possible.

    Otis:
    Daniel Stern, Ileana Douglas, Kevin Pollak, and Jere Burns headline director Tony Krantz's black comedy detailing the meltdown of the typical nuclear family as they attempt to rescue their little princess from a notorious serial killer.

    I could be more specific if I knew more of your top movies - have fun!

    Is going to the movies an option? Because Pineapple Express was really good.

    The Game - Michael Douglas. Its an oldie, but a goodie and will keep you guessing until the very end.

    300 - always a good one! :)

    I watch way to many movies, around 1 or 2 new movies a day, and lock stock and snatch are still in my top ten.

    Another one is "funny games", some people really hate it but some people really love it.
    They just did a remake and I loved how unconventional it was.

    The Bourne Trilogy (B Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) is great.
    And the Oceans 11 trilogy are both pure fun... And For a break up Swingers is a classic.

    Here's MORE in a thread we filled a while back in another forum!

    ENJOY!

    Four Brothers (4 adoptive bro's return home for their ma's funeral, and go looking for revenge on the people that killed her) is only a fiver on DVD and its one of the best films I've seen in years. If you fancy a horror, and you liked I Am Legend, then 28 days later, or the remake of Dawn of the Dead (04 I think are bothe great). If you want a rom com to watch with the other half, then 50 First Dates or Failure to Launch are really good.

    Funny Games is the 2008 American remake of the 1997 Austrian horror film. Original writer/director Michael Haneke wrote and directed, and Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, and Michael Pitt star.

    It all depends on what kind of movies you're interested in.

    I recommend,

    Training Day
    Man On Fire
    The Notebook
    The Dark Knight.

    I like how you slipped in the notebook, sandwhiched right between training day, man on fire, and dark knight. It is a great movie! But I heard the song "One of these things is not like the other..."
