always had a soft spot for tarantino but couldn't get into django unchained. Jamie foxxxxx (or however he spells it) is awful imo, went on far too long as well.
not seen 12 years a slave, but I'm guessing it's totally different
tch Djangos brilliant and 12 years a slave seems to go on forever too :P but brilliant
trailer for 12 years a slave

Nikita.
Delicatessen.
Run Lola Run.
Das Experiment.
Martyrs.
Rock n' Roll Cop.
Bun Man aka. The Eight Immortals Restaurant (if anything just to laugh at the scene where he kills a woman by ramming a fistful of chopsticks up her minge :lol:).
Old Boy (not the Spike Lee remake).
La Haine.
The Kite Runner.
Scarface.
Sod it can't think of any more that aren't completely ridiculous :lol:
Bunraku.
A Scanner Darkly.
Thursday.
Memento.
Kids (This is an awful awful movie, but it should be experienced at least once).
Akira (Cinematic and subtitled is the only way to go, the English dub version is terrible and has the story and names of the characters all messed up, and about 35 minutes of footage missing from it).
I'll leave these here, totally random:
The Lives of Others
The Pianist
Parked
District 9
American History X
Falling Down
... I'll stop ... there's just too many, torot will never get around to watch even half of all those movies we're throwing at him :lol:
Oh, and if you want some rather unusual and bleak movies try something like those (I only mention them as I've seen them recently):
Gummo
Combat Shock
Here's 4 of my recommendations, based on what you said you might like and in the form of trailers so you can judge for yourself if you'd be interested! :)
Yeah i have that on dvd and it's still quite disturbing.
Another interesting movie which is quite obscure is called 'The Quiet Earth' made in New Zealand in the eighties, its a kind of sci-fi movie but doesn't have lasers and spaceships. It also had a very interesting end.
I had to do an essay on this film for my media studies A-Level. I love a lot of Coen Bros stuff but didn't really enjoy this one tbh (typical, as I had to watch it about 5 times!)
as far as other Coen Bros films, Fargo, Big Lebowski and Raizing Arizona are great
Swimming with Sharks (Kevin Spacey at his acerbic, sarcastic best). It doesn't seem to get talked about that often but it's a brilliant black comedy/drama with excellent dialogue and well-paced 'how did we get to this?" plot.

I've never understood the love for Tarantino. I think his films are sh*t!
the music makes them for me in most cases

The harder they come
seen this a few times, but not since about 1995. remember it being off the wall in a good way. not usually a fan of French films
Bunraku.

Dark Star,
The Thing,
Escape from New York and Escape From LA.
They Live.
They Live I especially liked. :)
Very surreal. Very good :)
Filmed in and around Aberdeen. If you can handle the heavy Doric accent that happens in parts, then it's a cracking little film.

I have that on DVD and have watched a couple of times but feel I need a shower once it's finished. It's nasty!

A somewhat disturbing movie about WW3.
It freaked me out as a child!

I think Down Terrace and A Field in England are worth a go too.
