Default Recommend Me a Film!

I'm presently going through a period of cult overload and feel in need of a dose of classic cinema to rebalance my viewing habits.

So, any recommendations?

Transsiberian. Cracking adventure film directed by Brad Anderson. You will not regret it.

For a real classic box set of seven wonderful films and a bonus disc, try The Thin Man set.

I've never seen two actors with chemistry quite like William Powell and Myrna Loy. The screen just sparkles whenever they are on.

Film Noir that will make you laugh.

You should be able to pick it up online for around £12. Great pic quality as well.

The Machinist and Transsiberian are great as were the episodes of The Shield and Masters of Horror. However i don't rate Session 9 much.

I like these films but don't own them. Mrs MTDS would love them. Good call.

Session 9 I loved. What's not to like. The tension just and eeriness just made it a classic for me.

Been looking to get my hands on The Darien Gap for years. If anybody knows where I can find it tell me.

Its my favourite film box set of all i own.

Bond, Bava, Lewton, Star Wars. I've watched The Thin Man more than any of em.

Edit - In fact the last time i watched one was Sunday evening - Song of the Thin Man.
