Default movie recommendations... off sick bored
anyone recommend any decent movies i can watch to help relieve the boredom of my sick bed (sofa)?

comedy, old US gangster or newish UK gangster movies, or decent sci-fi recommendations please.


already been through all the godfathers, casino, goodfellas bronx tale, zombieland, transformers 1 &2, year one, usual suspects, and a whole load of others...

Twilight... Already seen it but thanks.
Never liked goonies, cities of gold not an option due to it being cartoon. City of god was ok but already seem it too many times..
F&f - already seen, same as transporter.

Excuse caps but i can't be arsed to retype!

i thought taken was an excellent film, it's on sky movies soon

i thought rocknrolla was a great film, a bit strane but well worth the viewing

smokin aces is such a random film it's just unreal

shoot em up is just bulliets and sex, so james bond for the grown ups

the concept for eagle eye was fantastic, i just thought that it took things just a bit too far to be believable, in much the same way that wanted was a good idea that sort of worked, eagle eye was a great idea that sort of turned to shite half way through

i'd also recommend kung fu panda and, if you didn't see my post the other day, jcvd is an ace flick to chill out to while you've got nothing better to do

feeling a bit worse now... taken is superb, (if that was my daughter i wish i was half as bad a man as liam neeson!) iron man just never gets old shoot em up was shit, rock n rolla is definitely a load of bollocks.


might have to watch taken again as it goes.
love usb storage on my playstation!

thanks all.
