Listmania!
Unjustly derided movies.
Hulk [DVD] [2003]Hulk [DVD] [2003]
Buy new: £9.18 / Used from: £0.49
Ang Lee's misunderstood and deeply brilliant story of emotional impotence
Death Proof [DVD] [2007]Death Proof [DVD] [2007] by Quentin Tarantino
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £2.49
Possibly Tarantino's finest film to date. Accept it; this man never sticks to a formula and long may he continue to confound the lazy.
Darkness [DVD] [2002]Darkness [DVD] [2002]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.99
One of the cleverest and scariest "dodgy house" films I've ever seen. Yes it does have a proper ending (sigh)
Year Of The Dog [DVD] [2007]Year Of The Dog [DVD] [2007]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.75
A bold attempt to represent one of life's less mundane pathways.
Sunshine [DVD] [2007]Sunshine [DVD] [2007]
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £1.32
Certainly not "boring" but deep, thoughtful and often beautiful.
The Happening [DVD] [2008]The Happening [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.57
A definite step in the right direction after "Lady in the water". Considering the atrociously bad press I was very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this. Unusual and thought provoking.
War Of The Worlds (2 Disc Special Edition) [2005] [DVD]War Of The Worlds (2 Disc Special Edition) [2005] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.38 / Used from: £0.15
Closer to the feel of the book than you could have hoped for. Hollywood with distinct Anti-Hollywood leanings.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2 Disc Edition) [DVD] [2008]Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2 Disc Edition) [DVD] [2008]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.15
Hugely enjoyable sequel and unwitting victim of rose-tinted nostalgia. Gets better with each viewing.
Speed Racer [Blu-ray] [2008]Speed Racer [Blu-ray] [2008]
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £9.29
Hugely experimental and visually marvellous adaptation. Something really quite different that challenges viewer expectations.
