i'm sure there is an actor thread but can't find it...

watched as good as it gets again the other night and the shinning last night and Jack Nicholson is by far one of the best actors ever.... I just think he is supberb could watch anything he is in!

He's brilliant in As Good As It Get. Great wee film. As shameful as it is, I've never actually seen The Shinning yet. Must rent it some night.

You could download it. I'm sure O'Neill could help you out.

I like serial killer stuff - watched the ted bundy film tonight.  It's criminal minds that got me in to it!

Same here pints - I have somewhat of a macabre fascination with serial killers

Zodiac - although somewhat slow is an enjoyable movie. Have the book as well

Serial killer films are brilliant.  I love the like of Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, Manhunter, Seven, Zodiac, Kiss the Girls, The Bone Collector, Mr Brooks (different perspective). 

I see The Life of David Gale was on last night, ripping I missed that.  Haven't saw it apart from when it was first released and it was brilliant, well as far as I can remember.

Three poor enough movies there I my opinion. Not in the same league as Silence of the Lambs, Manhunter or Zodiac.

I watched Uncle Buck for the first time in years last week. Excellent film, forgotten how good and funny John Candy was in it.

Watched The Last of the Mohicans last night... might have said it before on here but it is a top flick...   Would be one of my favourites movies

Finally got around to watching The Wrestler.....Wow. I thought Mickey Rourke was immense, the subtle mix of compassion and anger was suberb. Mickey Rourke is God.
Do you think Usain Bolt could replace Thomas Walsh?

Agree, excellent show, one of my favourites of the past few years and didn't really get the plaudits it deserved imo.

I went to Cemetary Junction tonight. Excellent recreatio of life in the 1970s and a few jokes worked into the 70s theme  but an average enough movie. 6.5 out of 10.

Have the DVD for a few years now, only got around to watching it for the first time last night.  Class show, and John Candy was very good in it.

Took me a long time to pluck up the courage to watch that Lambs, Id say I was 20 when I felt Id be able to handle it. Im not a fan of horrors to be honest but I can appreciate some of them. The life of David gale really impressed me. Zodiac, there is one murder scene in that near a lake I think, and it horrific. Good movie though.
Seven was very good aswell.
Manhunter is scary as shite, the guy who plays the tooth fairy looks like a serial killer.

I suppose the scariest film I watched was exorcism of emily rose based on the true life case of some girl in Germany. Horrific stuff and to think it can happen any of us is scary. I know the dramatic licence and all that but there was a court case over this. The suffering the poor girl went through was unreal.

Aye make it your business to do so... Our boy from Wicklow is great in it and there is some soundtrack to it as well
