Keep these coming

[Vikki]

Just to say I really like that we have this section (thanks spanky, good idea).

I look at it when I fancy watching a film. So anything new you see please keep adding them here, I find them really useful.

Alex has to have an operation soon, so I'm looking for dvds/series I can get we can watch while he's stuck here.

i've ordered

# 1 of: Battlestar Galactica: Season 1 [DVD] [2004]
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
# 1 of: The Taking of Pelham 123 [DVD] [2009]
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
# 1 of: Inglourious Basterds [Blu-ray] [2009]
Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.

There's not much else I can find that's out, so any suggestions and reviews are very welcome (old or new). I made him watch forest gump for the first time over christmas for example, I hadn't realised he hadn't ever seen it.

check on the battlestar galactic listing that its the complete season prior to crimbo the amazon descriptions implied they were "full" seasons but failing to mention they were actually season 4 part 1 etc

not bothered with many films recently but just rebrought this on bluray and its still a cracking film, definately one to watch if you havent seen it
A History of Violence

boxset wise watched/watching all the below at the moment and would recommend all


Generation Kill

World at War

Dexter S1

The Shield S1-S7

Blackadder

Band of Brothers

[Vikki]

alex had his op on saturday and we now have a couple of weeks to wait for the results of the biopsy. it's only been a few days but we're getting through your lists. my amazon orders look like i own a blockbuster shop.

the only thing i've not liked so far is dexter - he's just creepy

and for inbetween this stuff i just record top gear on dave (there's about 3 hours a day). some we've seen, some we havent, but we watch em anyway.

[slappy]

Enemy At The Gates - cracking ww2 battle for stalingrad, with some historical truth behind it, and of course you'll recognise elements from it which have influenced varies games

Memento - but dont use the easter egg and watch it fowards

Blues Brothers - watched it again at the weekend and its cinema history every step of the way

[Muppet]

I do hear amazing things about "The Wire" and will get around to watching it one day...

[PhilmoreButts]

wire 1-3 was good, then I got bored - may have been cos I was watching about 3 episodes a day

[slappy]

king kong - the latest one, great film kong and the blonde are spot on with the acting and the rest of them arnt half bad either

[PhilmoreButts]

My name is earl was good - only watched S1-2 missed a few episodes so I stopped watching
