Great thread Chris!
Latest film:
Detroit. Another good film from D̶e̶u̶c̶e̶ Kathryn Bigelow. Strong performances by the actors, and has some pretty brutal scenes. Quite a shock when you know that it's based on true events during the riots. Not an 'enjoyable' film, but very good.
Favourites:
Sucker Punch. Proper marmite film, but I absolutely love this. There is a lot of depth to it and ways to interpret the storyline. Zack Snyder gets a lot of flack, but this is genius. Loads of theories online about what it all means. Awesome movie.
Armageddon. Cheesy as hell, but Michael Bay knows how to make incredible-looking movies. Good soundtrack too.
Eden Lake. Brit horror. Some nasty and uncomfortable scenes, quite a shock of an ending and leaves you feeling a bit unpleasant afterwards. I've seen it loads of times.
Recommendations:
Obviously all of the above. In Fear is another good, suspenseful British horror. Shell is a bit of a slow, plodding film, but also quite powerful. Not blockbusters, not starring anyone famous, but as a bit of a leftfield option, they're both good. IMO....
