661400 2008-04-22 20:05:00 I had a pleasant surprise when I discovered Formula 51 (www.imdb.com). Also hardly covered up but my must see movie of all time is 300 (www.imdb.com)

Another movie I avoided initially because I wasnt keen on the lead actor was Running Scared (www.imdb.com) but it happened to be showing on Sky recently and I really got into it.

A new release movie I enjoyed was Gone Baby Gone (www.imdb.com) - it started off slow but as each character was introduced the story seemed to grow and become more captivating, I liked it.

Sin City

At least I hadn't heard of them before I watched them. Have a look at the top 250 movies of all time on us.imbd.com for others to look for.

661402 2008-04-22 23:56:00 Sin City (Hardly anyone knows Jessica Alba is in it!!) :banana

And Hot Fuzz. Kickass movie.

I say Red Eye a while ago, it's trying to be a horror but not succeeding. Alright movie though, couple of cool shots in it.

Yep, good suggestion. I've been working my way through the Top 250 and found some excellent movies - including the two you mention.

Donnie Darko

The Usual Suspects
