LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR,LOTR. Awesome films. Particualrly the extended edition/
2- The Constant Gardener - one of the few films I actually feel any emotions about (I'm the sort of person who spends mass destruction films in fits of laughter as I know it's total HWood crap half the time).
Most hated:
1- Eragon. They murdered the book. They ripped it to shreds and tore its heart out and AAAGH!
2 - The Golden Compass. See (1).
to jubal: totally agreee with you about golden compass, they did murder the book, however I didn't think it was bad as a film
Can't remember any ratings either
Comedy:
well there's sweet fa good comedy around but
1) Hot Fuzz - yay British comedy
2) Curse of the Ware Rabbit - always loved W&G always will
Action / Thriller / Adventure:
1) V for Vendetta, seriously one of the most awesome films ever
2) House of flying daggers, beautiful
Horror
Don't watch many
1) Shaun of the Dead - strictly comedy but still, its a zombie film
2) 28 days later - cause its the only real horror I can remeber
I have to see the extended edition of LOTR, I think they missed out some good bits from the book, and it would be nice to see Tom Bombadil
QuoteCurse of the Were Rabbit. It's just funny...
Hehe, Wallace an Gromit, i love those clay animations. As for the Eragon movie, i agree they murdered the story, they cut some pretty important parts and then added tons of crazy fiction to the story.
I just recently saw Borat, it had some funny moments but it wasnt what i expected :(.
Borat is funny because of the shock value, it has very little repeatedly funny bits
I just saw Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. Both were hilarious, i don't know if they are out in the UK yet but they are definatly worth seeing.
I have seen trailers for tropic thunder and that does look funny, never heard of pineapple express though
If possible, Pineapple Express (here atleast) has more commercials running in the US than Tropic Thunder.
