Girls, Drinking, Football Real football, not that padded rugby yank nonsense <3 and Film. But Film is the one that everyone, no matter what you like, can talk about =)

So, simple premise really, SRF Film council:
Name of Film
Genre
Where you saw it (cinema/dvd/tv/pirate)
Your Rating out of 10
Some text if you want (what its about or why you've rated it how you have, that kind of thing)

I figure its a good way for everyone to talk to each other about films, and also its a good way to find films people like, recommendations and all that jazz ^_^

I'll start us off to give a coupla examples (used a new post so as not to confuse the first one)

Die Hard
Action
TV
9/10
A wonderfully timeless classic action film. Bruce in a vest, "shoot the glass" the hug C4 explosion, germans and one of the most wonderful villains in film history, and xmas time. What more could you possibly want?


Romanzo Criminale
Gangster (Italian with english subs)
DvD
8/10
I first saw this in the cinema and i was a little sceptical about seeing a subbed film (i've seen others at the cinema, like NightWatch) but i thought a gangster film with subs? too much action and reading at the same time surely? But no, this film is wonderful, its got homages to the great gangster flicks and at Cannes was dubbed the modern successor to Godfather/Goodfellas/Scarface. If you love gangster films I would urge that you see this. Its wonderful.

Jackass 2.5
Comedy
Pirate
9/10

It was just like the first 2 jackass's, funny as hell and not long enough.

I Am Legend
Thriller/SF
9/10

So it was good?
Everyone I know said it was shit, but most of them have no taste.

yes, it was good. But it's this kind of movie that you either love or hate. you know.... everything or nothing and for me it was everything, so i can say i find it a good movie. also the acting of Will Smith was very good , but that's a matter of atste

+1
i loved that movie, but my friend didnt
matter of taste, its quite scary too
but thats just me

Fight Club
Action / Drama
TV

You can't officially call yourself a man until you've seen this movie.
The movie was made so that interpretation is based on the viewer.

Windstruck
Korean Drama

balls of fury
comedy

7/10

Was that funny at all or what?
A friend said it was, but eh, another opinion would be good.

there were some parts that were a slight simile... could of been a lot funner

Name of Film: The Boondock Saints

Your Rating out of 10 : 10/10
This movie basically has everything you can ask for. It has brute violence,
irish accents, lots of fights; both with hands and guns. They actually managed
to put a big heap of funny stuff in it too. I've seen it like 10 times at least, and
still aint bored of it.

Name of Film: Lucky Number Slevin

Your Rating out of 10 : 9.5/10
Great, fun movie. Couple of great and well known actors in it. Its an action
movie that has a very unexpected twist at the end.


Name of Film: Goodfellas
Genre: Gangster
Where you saw it (cinema/dvd/tv/pirate): TV, computer
Your Rating out of 10 : 9.5/10
Its a long gangster movie. Its one of the many classics like the Godfather
trilogy, Scarface, Donny Brasco, etc. The movie takes up about 2,5-3 hours
of your time, but its worth every minute. Main role is played by Robert DeNiro,
who has about the same age in this movie as pacino did in scarface.


Name of Film: Domino
Genre: Action
Where you saw it (cinema/dvd/tv/pirate): TV
Your Rating out of 10 : 8/10
Starring keira knightley. "I'm Domino. I'm a bounty hunter".
Well, thats kindof what you get here. She plays some tough, bored to death
beverly hills chick that wants to have some fun, so she joins a bounty hunting
crew. Lots of shooting, some limbs flying around, and a lapdance in underwear.
Not a bad movie, but not a really good one either.


Name of Film: Frankenfish
Genre: B-movies

think i've wasted at least 6 people's time with it.

Shawshank Redemption
drama film
computer
10/10
One of the best movies I've seen. Its about the life of Andy in the Shawshank prison after he's falsely charged with murdering his wife. Its fairly sad but the ending is great and there is a lot of in-depth material to think about

Rush hour 2
comedy action
dvd
9/10
If your from the US and don't know this I seriously pity you. You can see the first one but most likely you'll say that number 2 is better because its so damn funny! jackie chan and chris tucker star in it. Its a good movie for casual family night entertainment
