Hi
Have just signed up for Lovefilm trial and no have no idea what to order.

I've just watched Mamma Mia which I totally loved (even though its terribly cheesy) and really haven't seen that many films in the last few years.

I have seen the following and really enjoyed them so if you can suggest anything else that would be fab. (not into violent films)

Atonement
Love actually
the first bond film with daniel craig
iris
enigma
a few of the grisham films.

so any suggestions - think i like romantic comedy, a good drama, britflicks

TIA!

something about mary
2nd bond movie with dc,
shooter is not a good action film
transformers
heartbreak kid is quite funny

four weddings and a funeral
notting hill
gosford park

Swingers
Sideways
(I know they both sound like Karma Sutra DVD's, but they're really not)

little miss sunshine
miss potter

The Duchess
Bourne Identity/Ultimatum
Brideshead Revisited
The Motorcycle Diaries
Zodiac
The Painted Veil
Hot Fuzz
This Is England
The Last King of Scotland

The Others is a creepy ghost film with Nicole Kidman, I liked it despite loathing her.

American Beauty
The Wedding Singer
Notting Hill
Blades of Glory
Hitch

Shawshank Redemption if you haven't seen it, very uplifting.

I love Zoolander for it's hilarious piss take of the modelling industry.

Pushing Tin is very funny, about air traffic controllers, not a promising subject but very funny in a quirky way.

Mr and Mrs Smith for some eye candy (Brad... or Angelina if you prefer)

LA Confidential for some 50s glamour and crime.

will keep thinking....

Secrets and Lies
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

I love a few oldies too... how about Gone with the Wind? Some Hitchcock (North by Northwest, Rear Window?) or Marilyn Munroe (Some Like It Hot)...

Have you seen A Time to Kill? - best Grisham adaptation IMO.

Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility (with Emma Thompson); Emma (with Gwyneth Paltrow) - best Austen adaptations and sooooooo watchable.

Calendar Girls is great fun.

Try Jack and Sarah with Richard E. Grant - lovely! About a man bringing up his newborn daughter alone after wife dies in childbirth - after v. sad opening, it is a rom-com, I promise.

Remains of the Day is a beautiful film starring Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins, set in 1930s England. British film at its best.

Have you see Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant? Set in America but if you were a fan of the 80s/New Romantic music you have to see this for the pop video if nothing else. Rom-com.

Would second the Bourne films if you like Daniel Craig's Bond.

What about Brokeback Mountain - a beautiful film.

Hot Fuzz
Mallrats
Muriels Wedding
Love Actually
Ferris Beullers Day Off

I agree with the suggestions of Zoolander and The Others

thanks so much for replies!!

will read through now.... (how exciting!)

gosh i have seen more than i thought! (makes me feel better!)
(all richard curtis ones/fried green tomatoes - LOVE it - shawshank/calendar girls another fave)

a lot of these have been around for while - is it me or are the movies not as good in the last few years???

have ordered bourne films for dh so glad you recommend them too

will add the others to my basket!

keep 'em coming

Changeling
Nights in Rodanthe
Sex and the City Movie

I think more recent movies maybe don't stand the test of time as well as some of the ones suggested here. Certainly most of my favourites that I enjoy rewatching are older.

Message withdrawn

oh yes la vie en rose, def want to watch that

and SATC - i it any good??

I love:

Fargo
The Big Lebowski
Clueless for ditsy blonde romcom fun
Rear Window (Grace Kelly fantastically gorgeous)
I've seen a couple of brill French films recently, both of which I've really enjoyed:
A la folie, pas du tout (He loves me, he loves me not) and Ne le dis a personne (Tell No-one). Both highly commended and my (adult) French students enjoyed them.
