Fifty Dead Men Walking (2008) - Best film I've seen in the last few years. Real life story about a guy in Belfast in the late 80s who becomes a spy for the British Police. Well worth a watch. You will not be disappointed!

This film "Enemy" seemed to go under the radar. Maybe people thought it was poo but I though it was great. Same director of Sicario, Prisoners (also great) and Incendies (traumatic and great)

Also if you missed "Whiplash" watch it. Brilliant

There's a Berlin based film, mainly in English, called "Victoria" that divides opinion. All done in one take. Worth watching for that reason and the music is great.

Nice one Welshyoot...
Think we have similar taste. Add "All is Lost", "Ex Machina", "Nebraska", "Stoker" and "Under the Skin" to the list if you haven't seen any of them. Though lots of people hate "Under the Skin" i loved it. Very trippy and made by the guy who made Sexy Beast

Have seen Under the Skin. Scarlett Johansson is very sexy in it. It's a decent film. Nebraska is a cracking film. Made in black and white and very much a black comedy with some true to life moments. If you want an all action film Nebraska is not your film. I really liked it.
I will do, thanks mate. I've seen (and enjoyed) both ex machina and stoker - I'll check out the others though, have had nebraska and under the skin on the list for a while but just haven't got around to them yet - with so many films and shows that come highly recommended, it's difficult to get around to them all! Maybe I'll load one up later on :)

Thanks for this list. Some cool modern grindhouse films on here. "Bug" is my favourite (that I've seen) on that list. Made by William Friedkin who always makes great stuff. Also the Snowpiercer director made a great film in South Korea called "The Host" which is so so good.
BTW I've been perving on this board for some time without being bothered to type anything myself. I think it was you that recommended "The People Vs OJ Simpson"?? I watched it all. The best telly I've seen in a while so thanks for the tip off.
Second Pearcy's tips for There Will Be Blood and The Lives of Others. Slow West had some cool scenes. Made by one of the guys from The Beta Band.

The best movie so far that I have watched was "Life is Beautiful". A movie that shows how much a father can love his son and his family.
There are a lot of films on that list I really liked and a number more I have marked out to watch. I'll definitely be looking at a few I haven't heard of as well, thanks for posting it.
Of the ones I've seen I reckon blue ruin and pontypool are worth a mention (not sure what donkey punch and turistas are doing on there mind!)
Blue Ruin is very moody, dressed up as an art film, though it's sort of a simple straight up revenge flick. Pontypool is disappointingly not Welsh but is good fun. Very low budget. Nods to other zombie/horror flicks that have a radio stations in the story. Donkey Punch is total poo. Will avoid Turistas thanks!
Best ones ive seen are Everly.

Started watching High Rise on Kodi tonight.
After being perplexed by several scenes of street dancing (and not a glimpse of Keeley Hawes), I realised that there were two film titled High Rise released this year.
The Last King of Scotland was very good. About to watch The Assassination of Jesse James
Watched The Witch this evening. Didn't like it at all.
I didn't realise this either.
Has anyone seen inherent vice? I started watching it but was with a crowd who were chatting so couldn't get into it. Is it worth watching?
Good list again, cheers. My watchlist is rapidly expanding.
Was recommended 'the lobster' tonight as well. Might give it a go in a bit.
