IMDB Top 250

[Benny]

Now I've got commuting time on my hands I've started watching a lot more 'stuff'. I've finished House, Green Wing, Blood Diamond, The Nines (can't remember who suggested that and I still can't decide if I liked it).

Anyway, hunting for inspiration found this list and for someone who used to watch a lot, before the internet turned up, I'm disappointed by what I haven't seen.

Don't know if I agree with it, but it's a start. That or I try 'The Wire', CSI or some of the older comms to get through the monotony of 1.5 hours on the train everyday!

I watch alot of different stuff.

I'd suggest as possibilities robot chicken as its short with episode around 10 minutes each episode with some twisted but hilarious sketches.

The Simpsons as a possibility as i haven't watched the older ones so am now trawling through them gradually.

The epic 24 series. The latest season number 7 is simply awesome if you haven't tried that yet grab boxset 1 and try that for starters.

The Uk office with ricky gervais and all of his spin off shows such as politics animals.

Maybe lost could also be an idea. Haven't seen iy myself

What sort of films do you like benny. Give me a couple of films you like as examples and i'll let you know ones i have watched that could be suitable.

The dialogue with the bomb is class "what is your purpose in life" ... "well, to explode of course!"

The wire is really good so definately give it a try, I also recommend watching the american office (especially the third season) I watched every episode in less than a week as I found it so entertaining.

Great films I've seen recently:
In Bruges, Superbad, Rescue Dawn
 
Great TV shows everyone should obsess over:
The Wire, The Sopranos, The Shield, the new Battlestar Galactica
 
Also check out Flight of the Conchords if you can - when it hits the mark it's absolutely hilarious.
 
That should kill some time Benny.

Flight of the Conchords is brilliant!!

Chan-wook Parks vengeance trilogy (Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) and I'm a Cyborg but that's OK.

Wasn't that impressed by Rescue Dawn tbh.
