    Get 'The Castle'. It's a dead low budget cheapo no CGI Australian movie but it is brilliant comedy and will chill you out if you're suffering from pokeritus :)
    See what Mr Hartigan thinks about it..?

    Sorry to be a pain, but...

    It would be helpful if we had some more information to go on.

    For example, are you only interested in new releases?  Or should we also suggest classics, contemporary movies, world cinema, etc?

    Also, what kind of films do you like?  Favourite genre?  Your top ten of all time would also be a useful research tool!

    Many thanks in advance :)

    Hahahahaha what rubbish! You're usually into things like War Of The Worlds 2 (wasted five minutes of my life on this during this last weekend), Mega Shark Vs Giant Octopus, Mega Pirahna. Don't try to make out you're all sophisticated in filmings innit.

    HI James.

    Ill watch just about anything, i havent watched many new releases of late so new films would be good as well as old films,

    Top 10 favorite films - couldnt put it in an order though

    Rounders,

    The Business

    Undisputed Series

    Football Factory

    Trainspotting

    Fast and the Furious series

    Gladiators (the one with the guy boxing not the roman thing, think thats what its called)

    Smokey and the Bandit (my ex's dad watched this every other day when i was there got hooked lol)

    Little Nicky

    American History X


    that does seem to be a little mixed up i couldnt think of a good comedy one as i was righting this up. However i will watch pretty much any film thats decent. Just none of those ones when people are clearly speaking a different lanuage and its spoken over the top in English.

    You've probably seen it Donaldo.

    But if not, "Casino" mate.

    Seems to tick all your boxes.

    Uber violent gangster flick based in Vegas and all about, well, surprisingly enough, a casino. Scorsese directed and starring De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci. An epically brilliant film.
