My choice - Whiplash

I avoided that movie for years because I thought there's no way that's going to be good, I mean Drumming ffs

Michael Clayton.

Underrated. Who knew that a civil lawsuit could be so intense? It's a sin that it didn't win Best Picture at the Oscars and it went to the overrated No Country for Old Men.

One of a few films I've watched many times. Class.

The Social Network.  Who'd have thought court cases about the founding of Facebook could be so entertaining, pacy and sharply written?

I have promised myself I will never watch that.

Fargo is good

Things to do in Denver when your dead another hidden gem
Stopped taking rotten tomatoes seriously when they gave this a bad rating
There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets

I liked Michael Clayton, but No Country for Old Men is an awesome film.

The three Fargo tv series are excellent also.

Billy Bob Thornton's hit man in the first one - talk about cold-hearted dedication to the job!

Why? It's a brilliant movie.
