Brilliant in my opinion, it is one of my favourites.

Speaking of de Coen Brothers, watched Barton Fink, Blood Simple and The Hudsucker Proxy at the weekend, dem boys sure know hoe to tell a story...
Westmeath - Home of the Christy Ring Cup...

No Country For Old Men-ok show, expected more after seeing it being hyped so much on here
This is England- Good show
Cloverfield-worth a watch, but i watched it on googlevid and the quality wasnt great so probably detracted from my enjoyment of it
Juno-Best out of these four for me. very enjoyable, for all ages too

I watched One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest last night, thought it was very good.  I'm sure a few of ye have watched this, any opinions on it?

I also have Donnie Brasco on DVD, anyone see this?
One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest is not just very good, it's a perfect film.
What's more the book is excellent. The adaptation of the book onto film was genius.
The film has McMurphy as the central character, the book is seen through the eyes of the Indian, Chief Bromden.

Donnie Brasco, imo is the best I have seen about the Mafia, cut's out all the glamour, superbly well made film.

Watched Juno tonight. Great wee film, and even the missus will enjoy it. The critics all said it was well scripted. I never knew what that meant until I watched this film!

I seen 'gone baby gone' last weekend with Morgan Freeman, and Ben Affleck directing. I don't think it's out here until June, but again another very good film. A lot of the Madeline McCann story about it.

Watching it myself. Great scannán.

Also, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is brilliant.

Never seen it. Must get it out

Cuckoo's nest was one of them films were as a wee lad the poster scared me. One evening a film was starting on BBC 2 a few years back, and I started to watch and at the end thought it was a fantastic film, a classic

Shocked when I checked to see what it was called.....it was chitty, chitty bang bang.



Only joking...it was cuckoo's nest.

Watched The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada the other night. Think it is Tommy Lee's Directing debut. Excellent little movie.

Saw Tigerland a few weeks ago and thought it was a really good film. Anyone else see it?

The only time I have ever enjoyed a movie better than the book. Great book but I loved the movie.

Can't really look far past The Godfather, its on most peoples top 10 film lists for a reason. Every time you watch it, it gets better.
