Hey,

So I just took advantage of a free 30-day LoveFilm trial subscription (I even get a £15 Amazon gift card at the end!) and I'm looking for suggestions for recent films that I should add to the list. I haven't been to the cinema in ages so there're a lot of films I've not seen. Here's my list so far:

Burke and Hare
Inception
Resident Evil - Afterlife
The Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Wire - Season 5
Avatar
Black Swan
Evil Dead 2 - Dead by Dawn
Megamind
Neds
The Evil Dead 3 - Army of Darkness
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest
The Girl who Played with Fire
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The King's Speech
True Grit (2010)

I should probably add another half-a-dozen to make sure I'm not left hanging. That list is pretty representative of the kind of stuff I'm after.

Any ideas, then? :popcorn:

If you are after recent (ish) films, here's 10 for you.

Danny Boyles 127 Hours is worth a look.
The Social Network
Restrepo
Winters Bone (might not suit, but an excellent film nonetheless)
Moon
Crazy Heart (good for music fans)
The Hangover
The Hurt Locker
Inglorious Basterds
Monsters

Thanks Tim,

I've added Social Network, Hurt Locker and Hangover to the list. That should be enough to last out the trial period.

Cheers :)

If you like that, you really should check out Restrepo - filmed by Tim Hetherington, who sadly was one of the journalist's killed this year in Libya.

It's a documentary filmed in Afghanistan with a unit of US troops over the period of a year, in one of the toughest areas. Raw, but riveting and highly recommended.
