I've just signed up for Amazons dvd rental thing and only managed to add 9 titles this morning. Can you recommend some movies that you think I should see before I die. Preferrably with a link to amazon.

So far I got.
Hot Fuzz
The Prestige (read the book, found it quite interesting)
Children of Men
Borat
The Da Vinci Code (I know, I'm a bit embarrassed about this)
Russell Brand Live (I am so not cool)
Elephant I've always wanted to watch this.
Blood Diamond (bit worried about leonard di crapio, but whatever)
cars (not for me, honest)

Well, a bit of a sad and shameful list I've got there. HELP. Films to watch.

I would recommend adding everything wot Kubrick done, that you haven't seen. Everything he touches is just golden and worth watching. I saw Barry Lyndon for the first time this weekend, and it was absolutely incredible. Every single shot of the film was beautiful, every moment perfectly pitched. It's basically film about how this Irish dude infiltrates English society and RUINS EVERYTHING because the Irish are a bunch of money grubbing, potato-faced bog trotting jerks with no regard for anyone but themselves and no skill at anything except lying and self-preservation.

So yeah. Apart from the entire Kubrick... have you ever seen Seven Samurai? That's a definite 'watch before you die' movie. For some reason it always gets lumped into lists of dreary classics that noone can be fucked to sit through, but it's actually incredibly fast paced, very funny and at least as exciting as Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is three hours long - but that's only 20 minutes longer than DaVinci code, and it's really watchable all the way through.

Probably my favourite film of all time is Ed Wood, although somehow I couldn't justify it as a 'must see' (not that anyone else has bothered) without lapsing into unconvincing cliches (beautifully written, superbly acted etc), and as ben told me I sound like Paul Ross when I talk about film I don't want to mar this film with inadequate ramblings. But it really is great.

For christ's sake man, it's 'films you must see before you die'. Why the fuck would you choose to watch an uninteresting film that acts as a footnote to a sub-genre that's a moderately interesting footnote to the horror genre, which is a genuinely interesting footnote to cinema?

Led Zeppelin DVD - for the first disc Albert Hall 1969 show. Truly and totally mindblowing, with superb visuals and sound.

Stop Making Sense - hard to believe that no other bands at all seem to have taken inspiration from this when making their own dull and unimaginitive concert films. Pure entertainment start to finish. Should have some sort of Standards Kite Mark attached to it for all others to follow.

The Last Waltz - the glorious end of an old time band. A documentary but with loads of joyful live performances along the way from loads of old grandads (who were only about 30 at the time mind).

I would disagree that horror is a 'footnote'. It's one of the primary languages.

This film is an endurance test for people who can't stand the following things, child violence and violence against women, cannibalism, extreme gore and rape.

Cat. III Hong Kong films are a bit of a nasty sub-sub genre, but if one film summed them up, it's that one. Along with the "Grim and sometimes barely watchable" Human Pork Chop. Only the former is a must-see though.

I fucking hate Brief Encounter. I know one of the most common criticisms leveled at the story revolves around the question of why these (not particularly religious) characters don't just go ahead and bang each other senseless if their passion is so strong, but for me the central flaw is the fact that Trevor Howard doesn't just, you know, push Celia Johnson in front of a steam train for being the most irritating person on the entire planet.

Now, Johnny is my father's godson. My father went to see the bandleader, with a contract for $10,000 to let Johnny go, but the bandleader said no. So the next day, my father went to see the bandleader again, only this time with Luca Brasi. Within an hour, the bandleader signed the release, with a certified check of $1000.
Kay Adams: How did he do that?
Michael: My father made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

They're quite similar to Shipman M.E. episodes actually.

Episode 1: Go Fight City Hall – To the Death

A young woman is raped and strangled on a Los Angeles beach. Further down the coastline a young boy is shot and arrested for her murder. Shipman doesn't think that it would have been possible for the boy arrested to strangle the woman and decides that he is going to go out and begin a little investigation of his own. He visits City Hall, where the dead woman worked, to ask some questions and, after a little checking, murders everyone.


Episode 2. The Die Bone’s Connected to the Knee Bone

A thigh bone is found buried on the building site of a new student union building. Shipman is teaching a class at the university and soon involves himself and his students in finding out who the bone belonged to, how they died and possibly even who killed them. Not surprisingly Monaghan and Asten consider this a complete waste of time and want Shipman to get back to his job and stop bothering them. Shipman confronts them and murders them.


Episode 3. A Blow to the Head, A Blow to the Heart

After a championship bout a young boxer collapses and dies. His wife thinks that it wasn't an accident and asks Shipman, a friend of her husband's trainer and the coroner on call, to see if he can find out how he really died. Once Shimpan has completed the autopsy he begins to wonder if the woman is right, there is certainly something that does not seem to be quite right with the death, something that is made even more certain when Shipman is approached by 4 thugs who tell him in no uncertain terms that he better hurry up and make his report. Shipman retires to his boat and thinks about killing someone...but doesn't. Episode ends. TO BE CONTINUED!


Episode 4. A Blow to the Head, A Blow to the Heart PART II

After a montage of the goings on from PART I, Shipman wakes up on his boat then goes out and murders everyone.

I mean, there are some good films out there, but if I only had a couple of thousand hours to live I sure as hell wouldn't waste it gawping at movies. Similarly, most of the other lists involving stuff you have to dutifully tick off before you depart this worldly plane seem to involve either wanking off dolphins or going to Niagara Falls with all the other dull old retired fuckers.

It's just dreadful. People should be avoiding checklists of approved activities - not playing catch-up with mythical golden couples who seem to have 'done it all'. It's all just aspirational wank intended to fill you with yearning for shit you have to shell out for.

Maybe if these lists were bound up with some kind of evil spell, so if you do actually watch every film on the 1000 Films You MUST Watch Before You Die list, you actually die, right there and then.


Ideally, by being pushed in front of a train.

And if you don't watch all of them you'll never die! At the age of 7000, finally, driven half mad by curiosity, you crack and watch Brief Encounter.

BOOKER JUMPS IN FRONT OF A TRAIN. THE TRAIN SCREAMS AS IT REALISES IT IS CHUCK NORRIS PLAYING THE LEAD. THE SPACE-TIME CONTINIUM IMPLODES BUT THE NOISE IS DROWNED OUT BY CHUCK NORRIS ROUNDHOUSE KICKING AMTRACK FOR DARING TO AIM A TRAIN AT HIM

LOL! I still find that Chuck Norris shit funny!

Excellent! This could make for an excellent episode of Morse, where the killer is sneaking around Oxford with a portable DVD player.

Probably better if he's flying around Oxford with his tiny pygmy mates in a remote controlled helicopter.

With a portable DVD-player strapped to the undercarriage, firing blowdarts into their victims to render them inert and then playing them the 1000 movies-you-must-see-before-you-die at 32x FF.

This made I larf.

Bloke gets told he's going to die of cancer. Sells all belongings and embarks on epic film watching spree, only to be told he's not actually dying.

Humourless idiot then decides to sue the hospital.

A prime candidate for the Oxford DVD Ripper's first victim I'd say.

If he's that pissed off, why doesn't he just kill himself?

Maybe he's a rapist..?

INT: A dusty old living room - the detritus of nine hundred and ninety nine watched DVD's, smoked cigrettes, drunken bottles of wine, eaten pizzas etc...

The thousandth DVD runs its course, the credits roll on Brief Encounter.

We turn around and see an extremely old couple sat watching the screen as it fades to black...

OLD MAN: Happy?

OLD WOMAN: No, not really...

OLD MAN: That's probably because we've never visited Sepik River, Papua New Guinea; Easter Island, Chile and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.

OLD WOMAN: Sigh.

Nothing springs to mind, no.

I imagine it would be incredibly liberating to be told you had six months to live. You'd remember that six months for the rest of your life, even if it was from inside a prison cell while serving multiple life sentences for middle-management-ocide.

JOHN BRANDRICK BURSTS INTO THE ROOM, RAPES THE OLD WOMAN, THROWS THE OLD MAN UNDER A TRAIN. THE OLD FOLKS SCREAM BUT THEY ARE DROWNED OUT BY THE TRAIN WHISTLE. BRANDRICK TEARS OFF HIS SHIRT, THROWS HIS SPECTACLES ASIDE, SNORTS A LINE OF COCAINE AND PUNCHES A BOAR CLEAN OFF HIS CONNING TOWER.

ey, it is probably too late now but Dead Mans Shoes is good. Paddy Considine is fucking great in it.

and scarey as hell - the scene where they pile out of the car and face him by the garages, is funny, but there is such a sense of menace or something horrible about to happen that it made me very very tense indeed.

Only Sonny gets out of the car. I thought one of the best bits was in the finale where Richard reveals his mixed feelings towards his brother.

as i may have mentioned before, my favourite bits of dead man's shoes were mainly the bits with paddy considine's lovely face in. when he put the gasmask on i was very downcast. he is so dishy sometimes when i look at pictures of him my brain makes this lustful noise which is a bit like a cow lowing in a barn.
