Recommended movies?

[cpt_azad]

Well I quit my job this Friday, so I'll have a lot of free time, other than going to the gym, working on my guitar and drum techniques and going out w/ friends at night, I won't have much to do till Sept. hits, so any suggestions for movies to download and give a try?

So far I've watched these in the past 3 weeks, I highly recommend them to any and everyone, I forgot how much fun it is to re-watch a movie that you haven't seen in a very long time (ok ok, a good movie, not a crap movie), in no particular order:



-Ocean's Eleven
-Alien
-Aliens
-John Carpentar's "The Thing"
-Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back
-Empire of the Sun
-The Last Samurai
-The Mummy
-The Mummy Returns
-Three Kings
-Terminator 2: Judgement Day
-Goodfellas
-Die Hard With a Vengence
-The Bourne Identity
-The Bourne Supremacy
-Behind Enemy Lines
-Independence Day
-Forrest Gump
-All 3 Indiana Jones
-Southpark: Bigger Longer Uncut (ok this one is only for a limited number of ppl, not everyone is gonna like this one)
-City by the Sea


All those were DVD's I owned, now I need to download something, since the rest of my collection I've watched far too many times :(

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

which genres do you like?

Genre wise any will do except Romance lol, sci-fi is always good for me, drama is good (but to some limitations), action/adventure always welcome with open arms, comedy too.

From that list, I've watched Vendetta, Gladiator, Mystic River, The Shawshank Redemption, and Pulp Ficition, and only Shawshank and Pulp are re-watchable and enjoyable so I'll give em a go soon, will download the others, thanks for quick response.

And man you must have a thing for Elisa, she's a cute one ;)

Watch Stephen King's The Green Mile. It was directed by Frank Darabont who directed The Shawshank Redemption too.


A rare gem of casting and direction. It is hard to find a flaw in this movie. The camerawork is superb, cast wonderful and direction flawless.

Although it's a drama, i think you'll like it.
Don't miss it ;)

[janneke]

Sin City is a good one, Meglio Giuvantu, Usual Suspects, The Breakfast Club, Shawshank redemption and Requiem of a dream are one of my favorites

[cpt_azad]

thanks bodygard, i'll check it out (i couldnt find a decent download, ill rent it tomorrow).

and the old version of the hills have eyes is better then the new one, that's for sure (even if marginally).

[Smith]

I would recommend going out with friends or a girlfriend..rather than stay home all summer.
