for those of you who like dark humour see .
DEATH AT A FUNERAL (2007 )
I didnt stop laughing at its pretty sick english humour , it gets belly aching laughs from the word go , and so it goes on until the end
got to appreciate this type of humour on the lines of *really bad things * rent it for a good nights entertainment .
On a differant note (heavy drama )
ATONEMENT (2007 )
one of this years oscar nominations was artisticly produced , acted ,and the plot was superb although the pacing was a little slow .set in WW2 england it tells a heart rendering love story , a little bit of a * chick movie *its well worth watching
both are available at netflix
Thanks for the suggestions John. Both are now in our netflix list.
I liked "Attonement" too.
There is an incredible bit of cinematography that runs for several minutes across the surreal landscape of the Dunkirk beach, while the BEF are waiting for evacuation. I imagine it was CGI'd to some extent but it looks fantastic and I was very impressed by it. I thought Keira and James had some excellent scenes too - it is getting to the point though where James McAvoy is in just about every decent film. He's not a great actor but he's not bad either.
I've seen both and actually at the cinema too.
I liked Atonement but now I'm afraid that I don't have the patience for the slow pace of that type of film.
Liked the very Englishness of Death at a Funeral. Loved Uncle Alfie.
IMO, I thought Death at a Funeral was pretty bad. Really slow and the jokes or gags seemed to be way too obvious and slapstick inspired. Personally I think it was a film that was made for the American market. Not funny at all.
Atonement.
Redcar finally made the Big Time as the location for the Dunkirk scenes.
Not strictly a movie, but now apparently on dvd, Brideshead revisited. Loved the series. Loved the book. Loved Waugh. An England long gone, but lovely to look at.

The question is not whether America is ready for it's first black president, it's whether it's ready for the assassination of it's first black president? Jeremy Hardy News Quiz 2.08.08

I take it you don't listen to the news quiz. A light hearted quip, which after todays results will no doubt be changed.

Make it three and add to the list * keeping mum* another black comedy in the british fashion
Watched an excellent movie on the History channel the other night. "Downfall" It was a true account as seen through the eyes of Hitlers secretary of his last 10 days on this earth. It was German with subtitles.
You wont find this on Netflix.
I find the selection on the TV cable is more than enough for us. We record several each week on Bravo, History, TCM and AMC. If we fancy a new movie we go to an afternoon showing at a movie complex 5 min walk away.
