Have you seen The Cook, The Theif, His Wife and Her Lover?

Mind blowing!

Can't say I have mate, I don't get time to watch many films as it happens so when I do I tend to just stick to the man-films I've missed over the last few months.

I'm going to bookmark the thread though for future reference.

Edit: Just noticed the bit in bold, is her lover a woman? Is it a lesbo-flick? If so I'll watch it tonight!

No her lover is a man. It's genius though, British film making at it's very very best. Michael Gambon is exceptional.

Not really that into it, like people can really geek out on it. Its basically from a Japanese Disney. (Correct me if that totally wrong, if anyone is more clued up it though?) Film4 used to play Studio Ghibli films quite regularly.

Studio Ghibli have been around since the 80's. One of the (now retired) owners (Hayao Miyazaki) has made several huge movies, some of them published through Disney in the west. i had the privilege of visiting their museum in Tokyo a few years ago and it was probably the best museum I've ever been to.
For all you folk who are into the war, Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli were influenced by world war 2 aircraft and the war in general, and a lot of their movies are themed around them. His last, The Wind Rises, was about the creation of the Mitzubishi Zero, and Porco Rosso is about planes.
For all the 'men' out there, try watching Grave of the Fireflies without balling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies

Mononoke is a great movie, but like with all their movies you have to be a bit open minded to enjoy them.

Crowe is a good actor, very good, but an absolute arsehole. That role, however, it was just made for him, nobody on earth would have been better in that role.

It's a magnificent film, the writing, the acting, the lighting and the direction, it's a masterpiece.

I've watched it maybe 8 or 9 times, which is alot for a 3 hour epic, but it just blows me away.

I even called my dog Maximus man, ha

Sidenote, Jessica Lawrence? I'd eat her ****.

The title song by Lisa Gerrard in that film is magnificent. Totally and utterly blasted out in Terra Mitica theme park in Benidorm. Sent chills down my spine.

]Is that game of Thrones actually that good,[/B] people never shut up about it? Anybody care to tell me what the fook it's about.

I loved Gladiator as well, Russell Crowe is a bit of a tit but he didn't spoil that film. Oliver Reed is a legend as well. Great film, might watch that this weekend actually.

The books are fantastic, the TV series not quite as good but still worth watching..

I only watched that recently as well mate, went to Auschwitz in February then developed a mini-obsession with all things related to the labour camps. Getting my mrs to watch Schindlers List with me was a personal achievement for me this year, she only likes chick flicks!

The film was good, it hits home when you find out the guy who's peeling potatoes is a doctor.

I'd love to do the Auschwitz trip, however, I doubt I'll ever get there.
The potato peeling doctor you mention was played by David Hayman.
Great movie with such an ironic ending eh?

Brock has one of the best ever real-life revenge stories out there, he was incredibly unlucky against Frank Mir and lost because he put his leg somewhere stupid and was forced to tap, what followed was amazing, Mir continued to mock Lesnar and try to say he was nothing, the rematch was just a ****ing mauling, punch after punch to the face, I thought the ref was just gonna let Mir die.

Then he walked upto him after the fight Mir, covered in blood "Talk all that **** now".

Gotta love UFC.

Certainly was mate, didn't see it coming either.

I'd recommend that Auschwitz trip to anybody mate, I'm definitely going back. The feeling of walking down the track inside Birkenau was haunting and cold (It was cold as well cos it was February!) honestly I can't describe it.

Unforgettable day.
