The Motorcycle Diaries : www.motorcyclediariesmovie.com/This is just gorgeous, both the scene shots and the story.... really inspiring. It's also peppered with great humour ;D Based on a true life story, The Motorcycle Diaries is an inspiring and thrilling adventure that traces the youthful origins of a revolutionary spirit. The film follows two daring friends, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Gael GarcBernal, Y Tu Mamambi and Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna), who hop on the back of a beat-up motorcycle for a breathtaking and exciting road trip across Latin America. From executive producer Robert Redford and acclaimed director Walter Salles (Central Station) comes a life-changing journey that critics are hailing as "Magnificent!" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)And ladies, if you don't fall in love with Che....

I watched my freshly purchased copy of "DiG" yesterday - a 'rockumentary' that follows The Dandy Warhols & The Brian Jonestown Massacre over 7 years. It's so interesting, not your typical film at all. Go here to have a look: www.digthemovie.com/*thumbs up *

Yes totally! He's the epitomy of the boarderline-schitzo maestro-musician! His band could have ruled the world but he wouldn't let success happen. It's the best doco I've seen in a long time.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch In the Realm of the Senses (an interesting soft porn film from Japan in the 70s, this is crying out to be analysed...i find the female character very interesting) Spirited Away House of 1000 corpses Its a Wonderful Life and if you havent seen it Labyrinth is sooo fab!

Cube. Memento.Hellboy. Thre very different films which spring quickly to mind (and should all be on John's list ). Reason for Editting: Crossed one off the list.Finally saw Cube! It was on Channel 5 the other night. I did enjoy it and thought it was quite original. The only thing that let it down for me was that the personalities of the characters were all a bit exaggerated. That cop was a headcase! Overall though, it was good and certainly much better than half the generic crap around!

The only thing that let it down for me was that the personalities of the characters were all a bit exaggerated. That cop was a headcase! Overall though, it was good and certainly much better than half the generic crap around! Okay, i only just saw this today. Right, well now no matter how tempted DON'T watch the sequels! Especially if you found the personalities of the characters in the first film a little exaggerated... I do know what you mean about the personalities, tho i think it's partly due to the film having to be a bit short since it was very much a student film made with 'proper actors'. The personalities become so exaggerated because they've supposedly been in there for so long that their bodies are beginning to shut down and their darker personality-traits are showing themselves (as is all too common when a group of people are put into hopeless situations). I actually really liked the way the actor played the cop, tho it's very obvious that they could only afford tv level actors rather than movie actors. Loved the ending tho (won't say anything in case someone reads this and then sees the film only to remember what i've said ) - it was a brave decision, and one that the sequels completely failed to understand and so ruined. Now you need to try Cypher, by the same director (still working on limited funds alas, so prepare to laugh at badly CGI'ed helicopters... ). Oh, and a film completely unrelated that everyone should see at least once in their life: Bubba Ho-Tep! After you've seen it you'll be saying "Thank'yaaa... Thank'yaaa verrry much!". ;D

Had a bit of a dumb ending too in my opinion but overall pretty fun. Wow my film reviews are pretty comprehensive, eh?
