Ok peeps - I have a stack of unwatched dvds and have decided to start ploughing my way through watching them. The reason behind this is that as fast as I buy them one of my sons (the eldest usually, as he lives nearby) 'borrows' one, never for it to grace my home again.
So, instead of listing the lot, i'm going to pick 2, and ask you lot to choose for me which one to watch first.
Here's the first choices:
1. Dollar for the Dead (emilio estevez)
2. O brother where art thou? George clooney
Never seen either, are the worth bothering with?
05.07.2008, 17:04 quote
O brother where art thou? George clooney because the storyline is somewhat others,and because I have not heard of the other one.

After much consideration of the HUGE response
I decided to push the boat out and watched both, didnt get to bed til gone 2am. Was well worth it, and I recommend both to all.
Dollar for the Dead is a typical western, Estevez is great, and O Brother where art thou? had me laughing right from the opening scene.
Tonight's choices.......
1. Butch Cassidy and the sundance kid
2. About a boy
3. Agency (robert mitchum & lee majors).
Hhhhmmm, i really need some proper sleep tonight, so come on people which ONE should I watch this evening?
06.07.2008, 19:18 quote
About a boy is great, I love it....nice story & easy to watch

Well, barring LV and TW, what an uninspiring lot we have on here! I was hoping for a tad more input here.
I decided on Agency, i think about 10 minutes in I fell asleep so i missed it!
Oh dear, well tonight I might give About a boy a try, and seeing as how flipping Tango & Cash arrived with flipping German dubbing, tonight I have decided (seeing the lack of suggestions to help me choose!) to watch Unforgiven....yet again, if i've not worn the dvd out yet and it still plays.
07.07.2008, 17:54 quote
Get two Tv's and two dvd players and watch both Butch Cassidy and About a Boy.
In the morning your brain would have made up a film of its own. Possibly the best film ever? I doubt it with them two!
07.07.2008, 17:56 quote
Sorry I m late.
About a boy is a great film.
I love all of Hugh Grant's films.
Now you can all accuse me of being gay.

Yeah, but Hugh Grant isn't really a man is he.

To be fair, both my sons have recommended about a boy, so i shall defo give that one a try. Trouble is, apart from a small handful of films (unforgiven being one) I am very well known for never watching a film all the way through. I've seen hundreds over the years, but only the beginning, or the middle, or the end, never all 3...I just dont have the attention span and usually walk off and do the washing up or get engrossed in a good book, or fall asleep.
I am trying to train myself to watch a film the whole way through, I actually managed a few lately at the cinema (I usually fall asleep).

I think that may be something to do with the quality of the films you are watching.
It is very rare for a film to capture my mind for its enture length, especially lately.
For one exception to this rule, try watching Nightwatch, that is a weird film, very hard to follow, and will send you to sleep if you don't follow the story closely.
It is actually a great film, but with a very complex story line.

Open Range had my full attention for the whole duration this afternoon, mind you I'd be happy to watch Kevin Costner watch paint dry, ya know?
I am currently introducing my kids to the quality and superiority of eyeball burning some old black and white films, they have both fallen in love with Harvey, Brighton Rock and a couple of Weismuller Tarzans so far.
They both had this weird idea that if its in B&W it must be boring crap....?
07.07.2008, 18:36 quote
I have that image in my head too.
I am currently trying to work that out, which is why I watched Dr.Strangelove.....

Nightwatch is excellent. I'm going to show how WAY behind I am and ask if the other two films are out yet?

I'd rather do that than watch most of his films.

My mum has a soft spot for Costner. You can have her place at the paint watching wall whilst she revels in Kevin.
