Movie recommendations

I think it's PG-13 over here so you should be fine

Saw Lincoln yesterday - and I tell you Daniel Day-Lewis will be getting an Oscar for that - great performance

I watched Polisse (2011)  last night, a French film constructed like a fast paced docu drama based on the day to day working experiences of a Child Protection Unit in Paris.
It has harrowing scenes, absolutely gut wrenching at times, other times incredibly funny, but all observed by the camera from an attempted dispassionate (French) distance.
I have no problem to recommend it, depends how you are with certain emotions because this film will certainly make demands.

watched cool hand luke last night for first time in years. superb show. timeless.

It is never off TCM meaning that I watch bits or all of it every time it is on. The wife isn't such a fan! Nor is she of any of the other films I watch repeatedly - Beverly Hills Cop being the main culprit.

Anyone know what the classification is for The Hobbit as all the posters I have seen to date say TBC - I am assuming it will be no worse than 12A or I will have some disappointed wanes!

Speaking of Paul Newman I watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof yesterday from start to end. Really only meant to watch a few minutes to pass the commercials on another channel but found it compelling viewing.

As for the Hobbit - I doubt it can be rated higher than the LOTR series - so check out what they were and you should have reasonable peace of mind.

Still think Peter Jackson is taking the piss stretching The Hobbit over 3 films.

Kill List is on Film4 this week............ Thursday I think.
Curious film with a very odd /dramatic ending. Would recommend a look at it. Have selfish reasons for recommending it as I don't know anyone else who has seen it and wonder how others feel about it.

Good show alright. Particularly enjoyed the ending when the smug champion on  the tv show gets his posterior handed to him by Harrelson's ex. "Foodstuffs beginning with Q", Jeopardy the show??

The Master is brilliant.

Anyone signed up for Lovefilm instant or any of the other streaming type packages?

just wanting to see if they are worthwhile or any feedback on them.

I use LoveFilm and think its great. The package I have is unlimited DVD's including blu-rays, (max 1 at a time) and unlimited streaming for £7.99 per month. I use the streaming through the PS3 and the quality is superb. Only knock back would be the selection. Even though there is a lot on it, not alot of it is recent. You can see what the selection is like online before signing up. Haven't tried NetFlix but when looked at the selection it wasn't that great at the time.

Was thinking of getting it as a gift, as in a years subscription for someone to it, can this be done?

[Puckoon]

Can certainly be done with Netflix.

The Lives of Others   on RTE 2 tonight  11.50pm

Which reminds me of - 

Why do ex-Stasi officers make the best Berlin taxi drivers? Because you only need to tell them your name and they'll already know where you live!
