Film recommendations for DVD rental.

[longers]

I know these things crop up from time to time so I apologise for repeating the subject but I need to add some films to my DVD rental list.

I'm not a fan of horror movies, other than that pretty much anything goes.

All recommendations considered, thanks .

Fight club

Spirited Away.

Grudgingly went to see it with the missus. Not really the kind of thing I'm into, but it was awesome....won an oscar and various other awards.

We watched 'The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford' a few nights back. I thought it one of the best films I've seen in a very long while, the misses thought it a bit slow (it is, but that doesn't make it unenjoyable in my book).

Rebecca [1940]

It was on TV a few weeks ago. Have you seen the Mitchell and Webb spoof "in reverse"??

The Straight Story - long distance lawn mower film!!, great story - perfect.
Ulee's Gold - Peter Fonda at his best - powerful stuff.

Two of the best films ever!!!

The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas - tells the story of wartime Germany from the German public's point of view.
Twelve Angry Men - No action, but good old fashioned story telling

The Bank Job with Jason Statham. Set in the early 70s, very authentic, very well written.
Based on a true story which you would struggle to make up - 10:10

Bad Boy Bubby - an excellent and very black-humoured film.
