    The best flick is when ye flick off the last bit of spunk from yer fingers onto her disappointed coupon. Then send her into the kitchen tae fix ye a snack. After she's washed her hands and coupon of course. And gargled boiling water. The filthy hoor.

    For recent films, try -

    Harry Brown
    No Country For Old Men
    The Counterfeiters
    Arn: Knight Templar

    For me, the greatest films of all time are -

    The Day of the Jackal
    French Connection 2
    The Taking of Pelham 123 (original)
    Amadeus
    Munich
    Shawshank Redemption
    Carry On Camping
    Planes, Trains and Automobiles
    The Punch and Judy Man
    Casablanca

    If you have Netflix I would recommend Jo Nesbo's Headhunters, excellent Norwegian movie.

    I agree with this ...well kind of, at least, 'in principle' kind of.

    I think it's the best cartoon movie of all time, artistically, given the technology at the time it's a masterpiece. The songs are ****ing awesome too <ok>

    It's not even the best Disney cartoon. The much forgotten Sword in the Stone takes that title

    Jungle Book's good, but I prefer my animated films to have a bit of fanny in them. Belle in Beauty and the Beast and Jasmine in Aladdin for example. More recently you've got Rapunzel of course.
