Films you thought would be shite....

[rool]

Phone Booth. Still not sure how I could enjoy a film that takes place almost exclusively in a phone box.

Is that the spanish film where the guy gets stuck in a phone booth?

Agreed. It's no classic but it's pretty good.

 

[Turkey]

Oh and Run Lola Run.

 

[Beach Hut]

Pirates for me as well got dragged along reluctantly by family and really did find it a very good film.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Oh and Run Lola Run.

i really liked run lola run - we had to watch it in german

 

[Lush]

I never go and see a film that I think is going to be crap because I throw a tantrum unless I get to choose!!!!!

Amelie. Thought it was going to be very twee, but hadn't realised that it was directed by the same bloke who made Delicatessen - great humour and visual imagination.

About a Boy and even B. Jones' Diary rated higher than expected too.

 

[Ace Grace]

Kevin and Perry go Large for me.

I thought it would be a right steaming pile...

but it was flippin brilliant.

(All I wanna do is do it! Big Girl. Big Girl!)

I picked up and read About A Boy over christmas. It hooked me and I read from 12pm to 5am. Finished it. That evening it was on Sky Movies so I watched. I prefered the book. Thought the film was okay but nothing special. A lot of people really love it though. Why is that?

miss congieniality.............. or however you spell it.

 

[Easy 10]

Oh and Run Lola Run.

Now THAT is one quality unsong film, Turkey.
Get past the subtitles, and the whole thing is just excellent. I just LOVE being surprised by a film, specially when its got, basically, a simple brilliance to it. Run Lola Run is like taking a shower in spearmint flavoured water, its so refreshing.

Must pick that one up, bet its cheap. Good shout fella.

hugh grant probably (i agree turkey the books better , but thats the same with all the nick hornby books turned films)

The secret life of David Gale. My son bought the video and raved about it until I watched it.

His tastes and mine are completely different but have to say it was truly an excellent film.

 

[chips and gravy]

Didn't fancy the second Star Wars film after the Phantom Menace. Althoughstill not as good as the original trilogy it did surprise me.

The Tailor of Panama was much better than I expected too.
