Wasn't that film a little gem? Went kicking and screaming to that one but I absolutely loved it! Best of its kind.

Thought 'Control', the Ian Curtis flick was pretty good recently.


Agreed. Saw this last week and it's very well done.

Blood Diamond is excellent. Actually I like African themed movies. I.E. Power of One, a oldie but a goodie. Under Fire.
Syriana
Rocky movies all good.

Went and saw Atonement. While billed as a chick flick, thought it was very good

Saw "I AM LEGEND"....

Yep, agreed, I was very excited by the concept as its one of the best scenarios for a storyline that really interests me but it was basically just a zombie movie, not a sci fi.

Isn't that one by the Coen brothers ?

I loved Fargo and Oh Brother Where Art Thou and was wondering if it is anything like either of them.

Would this be a remake of the old '70s Charlton Heston flick "The Omega Man"?

IIRC that was based on a story titled "I Am Legend". I never read the story, but always liked Omega Man.

Watched "Open Water" last night on the box. Great movie and nice nudey bits in first few minutes. Based on true story of two divers who get left out at Great Barrier Reef.

Just saw Kite Runner last night, good touching story line based pre and post Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Well worth a look but be warned it is about 75% sub-titled.
