Sircharles 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I'm forever searching the net for new films/movies to watch, as I'm sure you are too. But often is the case the same list is put up again and again by people - shaw shank redemption inevitably being no.1So I thought where better than here to ask for personal recommendations. Also to share my list of favourites as I have seen numerous over the years and can add to this list. So hit me back if you know of any.

Zickar 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 Like Zickar's list a lot, A series of misfortunate events - reminds me a bit of Hugo. Also watched recently Wild Bill (uk film) Spotlight The Big short The hateful eight Glad you liked these .. what did you think of the big short ? I liked it in a very weird way .. it left a very strong after taste although I didn't enjoy it to start with but it drove me to read a lot about the financial crisis and eventually made me more educated about the subject Also Kung Fu Panda has some awesome visuals , definitely worth watching too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sircharles 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 I thought the Big Short was excellent. and very good casting. I remember people buying houses here and it was just a bubble. ridiculous. Liked Kung Fu panda as well. First one. Here are my top favourites from 2015 in order.
