Iv read that second book. It was enormous, like a foot and a half long and 2 feet wide.

I have the limited run of the Withnail & I dvd with this Ralph steadman poster:

^^ Into The Wild is a great film. I didn't feel the need for a third quote however.

One of my favorites. I think it is in portugese though. Guns, Violence, Drugs and poverty. A good mix. Please check this out if you havent seen it.

So far I am very interested in everyone elses reccomendations.

City of God is a great film, definitely in my top 10 favorite films. So powerful. Fernando Meirelles is a gifted director.

If you liked City of God, you should check out Tsotsi, which is a film in the same vein of storytelling.

I recently watched a Swedish film called "Let the Right One In" that I highly recommend. It's a hit among horror fans. It's more of a psychological drama about it 12-year-old boy's relationship with the girl that moved in next door, who happens to be a vampire. The pacing is a bit slow, so if you can't hanlde that, I wouldn't recommend that you see this film.

and I fourth the Into The Wild recommendation. It's Sean Penn's best work. If you haven't read the book by Jon Krakauer, I highly recommend that you pick it up.

Seen it, love it, absolutely recommend it. I own it on DVD it's that good. I wasn't such a dan of Tsotsi, I think I just didn't get into the storyline.

I recommend American Ganster, North Country and The Man Who Cried. If you are into powerful storylines and real acting, these are movies for you.

Elijah Wood was a pussy in Green street. Rise is a damn good film but THE football hooligan film is still this:

Watched Green Street today , your right Elijah Wood pretending to be in a Hammers firm is just laughable. Not seen Rise Of The Footsoldiers yet but agree with you about The Firm.

ID is up there too. It's quite funny seeing people like Phillip Glenister & Perry Fenwick before they were famous. And it's got Reece Dinsdale playing the lead who I think is one of the most underrated actors in the UK.
