Films your friends will probably hate...but you'll love
Hulk [DVD] [2003]Hulk [DVD] [2003]
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £0.48
they'll think the characters are hard to get to know and that things are only good when the hulk smashes things. THAT'S THE POINT! THAT'S HOW BRUCE BANNER FEELS! clever, beautiful and rewatchable.
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence [DVD]Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence [DVD]
Buy new: £14.98
it's beautiful and clever. i watched it four times back to back to try and 'get' it. i still don't think i have. which is good. your friends will hate it cos the translation is very wordy. THE FOOLS!

this one's a biggy. they'll hate the sequels. the anime section isn't what they'll want from anime. THEY'RE WRONG! the sequels are the same but bigger, which is what sequels are all about!

Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.48
they'll say: it just gets a bit computer gamish with all the special effects. you'll say: it's a film about a giant gorilla! what did you expect?! touching and exciting. peter jackson does the biz

yeah it's a 'kid's film' but it's witty, and unless you have a heart of stone...it'll make you cry too. 'i'm...superman' (you know the bit i mean)
Solaris [2003] [DVD]Solaris [2003] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £0.33
it's very slow and very 'arty'...but if you liked sunshine (by danny boyle) you'll like this. i could stare at Natascha McElhone all day
21 Grams [DVD] [2004]21 Grams [DVD] [2004]

the narrative is all over the place. they'll hate it cos you have to actually pay attention when you watch it. and if your friends are like mine they have the attention span of a wasp
