watched "The Town"
it was good. entertaining! nothing extra special though. robberies were bit too simple i thought. but the movie is not just about how to rob some place. i would give it a 7/10

Defa; this is a good-one!! One of the best movies (in this particular category) i have ever seen so far :)

Also you could try;

HighNoon (1952)
The Mannificiant Seven
Red River
The Shootiest
Stagecoach
Enjoy!



Happened see this this one couple of occasions, won't make any sense to me and I see this as a flop film!! But i wonder why imdb ratings are soo high on this!:nerd:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) - is a classic, in another words "serving as the established model or standard" for later movies.

Orson Welles(citizen kane ) said Stagecoach is his text book for movies.I rated it 10/10 .one of the best i have seen from john ford
HighNoon at first i couldn't grasp the artistic quality but later multiple viewings changed my mind.Its a very good movie.
The Mannificiant Seven is good but no where near the quality of "Seven samurai "

other movies haven't seen yet

Mars-Deimos-Phobos
Insomnia

As exactly Roshant preached
This is the hidden or forgotten gem of Nolan. And I had to take a second look to realize the shine of it :oo:
10/10 from me

Clearly shows how people could lose their way, when they get to act on their whims.
End of the day its hard to say whether it was their intention or the mistake.

If my memory serves me right , this should be the first time I ve seen Pacino's acting which is awesome :yes:

My extream thank should be gone to Roshant

10/10 nam podak wadi wage mata.9/10 is perfect :P

    Phone Booth [2002]

    An average film about the incident after a man has been clung on to a phone booth by a concealed sniper. No clear motive behind the incident. Collin Farrel's one of the best. Quite disappointed about the movie.
    My IMDB Rating - 7

    Obviously you cant find Lord or War, Blood Diamond kinda perfection from this movie . I think I have warned you on this
    I like this movie coz I just like it :D


    Just like Roshant & twisted like Expendables ;)

    My one of the favorites.:)

    Yeah it became one of mine as well. But for me The Prestige is much more fascinating than this one :P :)

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - both actors and acting are in very high quality. No argument.....But flow of story.....not tend to keep the viewer enthusiastically..nor distractingly throughout..becos story is very straight forward....isn't it? .........the ending to that film is also not that impressive to me....it kills everything at last.:oo:......

    I'm gonna see both seven samurai and mag seven again.......will post my view later then...

    Yeah, I found it rather abnormal to be precise. I mean the caller's motive is simply undecipherable.:confused: In the end all he did was killing two people to convert the main character a good human being.:rolleyes:

    I felt I should have taken your warning and stopped watching this in the end.:)

    Well entertainment-wise The Expendables is far superior than the likes of The Illusionist, Insomnia n co. That's mainly because of the star cast. Plot and the script are kind of poor. I enjoyed it though.:)

    True.:)

    I think even in Se7en has the same B.S when it comes to the obscurity of the killer's motive.
    So in this movie
    he's just conducting kinda experiment. However it was ok with me :)

    Yeah main guy's active is awesome :yes:

    Speaking of The Expendables it was the reason I joined imbd
    Just to minimize the rate (9) made by someone, by rating it as 1 :dull:
