Was hoping the good people of Chit Chat could help out with a few good films.
Prefer Comedy/True Stories rather than War/Sci Fi , but all suggestions from any era, very welcome.
Thank you to those who take the time to reply

There's a rare showing of Sam Rockwell in 'Moon' next week on the BBC
Highly rated directed by Bowie Jnr But it's Sci-Fi |

"Being There" is a bit of a masterpiece, Peter Sellar's last film and it's a favourite of mine. A very solid 9/10 job.
"Glengarry Glen Ross" An excellent cast and hardly ever gets a mention in top film lists but it's an absolute gem. 9/10 with the thumb. |

I really liked watching that recent film called pride. I don't normally like british comedy films but that's a good one.

Stalker by Tarkovsky, best film I've seen in last few years, again bit sci fi/other world though
|

Glengarry Glemn Ross is excellent - if you enjoyed that Slippy, it would be worth giving Swimming with Sharks a go - another David Mamet adaptation
Un Prophet is in French but an excellent prison film |

One from a few years ago set in Dublin called "Once"

Have you seen a Wizard Of Oz?
“Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again.” |

Is it a musical?

Original version of The Producers with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, written by Mel Brooks.
Outrageously funny. |

Gone Girl, saw it last week and am actually considering going to see it again - two and a half hours long but absolutely flew by, brilliant entertainment imo
 |

Also downloaded Blood Ties last week and would recommend it, starring Clive Owen and Billy Crudup as two brothers, one a villain and the other a nypd cop - very good drama, 8/10 for me

For true story drama a British film recommended here is "Let Him Have It."
I have seen one film on current release, it is "Map To The Stars." Undoubtedly some brilliant observation in it but whether the fairytale has lasting power I don't know. It is of the genre of "The Player" and "Mullholland Drive," two films that sag before the test of time. |
