How about Danny Boyle films? I mentioned Trainspotting at the start, one of my top 5 films. Trainspotting had arguably the greatest film soundtrack ever as well (the two OST albums are brilliant). Born Slippy by Underworld, what a tune... Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, 127 Hours... All great films. But nowt beats Trainspotting.

My mate nearly fainted in the cinema watching 127 Hours. It was during the scene where he was cutting his nerves. Then he went down from the back and tried to get out the Exit to the car park only to find it was locked, right infront of a full cinema, and past out in the lobby. 28 Days later is a good film, but Trainspotting is best. He did a great job of the Olympics Opening Ceremony. The new Batman films are the best superhero films i reckon. I can't be arsed with them normally, but the Dark Knight series appealed to me.
Same. The Dark Knight is in my top 10. The Dark Knight series was great because they were closer to real life than most superhero films. They were way more serious. Heath Ledger's Joker was seriously scary, especially when you think that that role was probably what killed him... [video=youtube;xnOLhXmhkyA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnOLhXmhkyA[/video]
Breaking Bad is an excellent TV Series, as good as it gets. When it comes to cinema, I think you will be hard pressed to beat anything that Martin Scorsese has accomplished over his career. Watch this lot and then tell me if Coppola is better than Scorsese. Mean Streets Taxi Driver Casino Goodfellas Raging Bull The Departed
To be fair, Coppola did The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now. So I'd say it's a draw, purely because Apocalypse Now is so epic in every sense of the word. In my opinion obviously.
danny boyle did 28 days/week later, the best zombie films ever made.. apart from that he's ****ing ****e goodfellas is one of the best
the best ever in terms of cinematography is breaking bad, film or tv it's hard for a film to beat that since a film is a stricly shortened experience
28 Weeks Later is ****. You clearly haven't seen many zombie films if you think those two are the best. Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, 127 Hours are brilliant.
just my idea of how a zombie film should be, dawn of the dead is brilliant though, each to their own opinion
Shaun of the Dead my fave zombie film. "Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?" Any zombie film by George Romero is the best one. Dawn Of The Dead (the 1978 original) and Night Of The Living Dead are the ultimate.
that is the best but i class that as a comedy! i agree romero is the master and spawned the numerous zombie films **** me macca how you finding hudders uni? i know a few fit birds there? i hope you're pulling at the least!
Hudders is great. The number of pubs and clubs is beggars belief. As is the number of birds I'm already in a relationship like, but what happens in Huddersfield stays in Huddersfield...
congrats ha! i'm looking to go to uni next year! is your bird from the uni? feel free to bring her to see city! you are like one of our apprentices! i'm genuinely intrigued
I'm concerned at your 'intrigue', but i will post once more before bidding you farewell. No, i've been with her for a few months now, but she is going to Hull College atm so I only see her in person when I am home. She's been going to City long before I met her as well.
the 'intrigue' is purely because most of us regular posters have known you for a while! that's simply it! we are pleased to see our own doing well! we are family
Different generations will have different choices. The "expert" Film Critics over time have voted (not necessarily in this order) that Citizen Cane, Gone with the Wind and Vertigo were the best three films of all time. My personal favourite was The Quiet Man. Over the past years I found the best I have seen to be Das Boot, Pulp Fiction, Fargo, Titanic, Silence of the Lambs and The Shawshank Redemption making up my top 10. Trainspotting, The Full Monty, Rebecca, The Fastest Gun Alive, The African Queen, Casablanca, Raging Bull, How Green as my Valley, Chicago and The Godfather Trilogy were other films that really left an impression on me.Long way from the "tupp'ny rush' when I first saw Zorro as a kid. We have an expert Movie Presenter here by the name of Bill (Mr Movies) Collins who has presented "The Golden Years of Hollywood" for many years and it appears that the bloke has never seen a film or met an actor/actress that he didn't like.
