granite sheep Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 GladiatorBlack Hawk DownNo Country For Old MenBlade RunnerAny of the Rocky movies, except #5, cos it was pishThe first 3 Die Hard movies When Saturday Comes- This one's nae a classic, but if you can find it it's worth it, it's a nineties british movie, pretty much like a fitba version of Rocky, starring Sean Bean and the late Pete Postilwaite, cracking movie about an amateur fitba player that gets a shot at the big time. Also stars former hun Mel Sterland, who exhibits many hunnish tendencies right from his first appearance in the film. Link to comment

dazzy_deff Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just back from seeing that new years eve at the flicks. Started off shite redeemed itself a bit but OK overall. More for the birds, my other half was a blubbering mess. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just watched The Inbetweeners, which I guess is a movie spin-off of some British series. Thought it looked like a decent lads movie, turned out to be a fucking chick flick.... utter pish. Also recently watched Pirates of Silicone Valley and Micro Men... now they're quality fillums.
