Movies TO rent

Since we have a movies not to rent thread, I thought we should have a movies TO rent thread.

I'll start with Adrienne Shelly's movie Waitress:

Definitely NOT for everyone, though. From the description, it looks like it's just a romantic comedy but it's more than that. Very "indie" so, like Juno, some will love it & some will hate it (I loved Juno). Very much a "chick" indie flick as well. I really enjoyed it. So sad that Adrienne Shelly was murdered just after this movie...

DH and I loved "The Lives of Others".  Its in German, so if you don't speak German or don't like reading subtitles it may not be for you.

In one day, my two movies from Netflix were The TV Set and Californication. 

They both were very cool for different reasons.  I will probably have a problem with the way Californication Season 1 ends (if it doesn't turn out to be a dream sequence   )
but it was cool up until the last 30 seconds.   

Downfall (In german, subtitles) about Hitler and his last days in his Bunker
The Day After Tomorrow
Hot Fuzz
Shaun Of The Dead
Gladiator << A must!
Titanic
The Contractor
Con Air

Gettin' Square - a little Aussie film with David Wenham (Faramir in LOTR, 300, Van Helsing) like you've never seen him before.  Also Timothy Spall.

HI.LARIOUS.

I rented 'Dan in real life' a little while ago, and I loved it. I think Steve Carell is brilliant and he was terrific in this.

There's a great little Scottish film called 'Dear Frankie' that I really enjoyed. All the actors give great performances, but the bonus is that Gerard Butler is VERY easy on the eyes in this movie. .

Goodbye Lenin

Also in German...but very good and worth it .

"Wanted" - the newish film with Angelina Jolie ( can't abide her normally..but I have to say this is a very very cool film )

Whats Eating Gilbert Grape.
Fried Green Tomatos at Whistle Stop Cafe.
12 Angry Men.
Forrest Gump.
Immeadiate Family.
Deuce Bigalow Male Gigalo..first one not the second.
Million Dollar Baby.
Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory - The Original..not the J Depp version.
The Notebook.
The Grudge / The Ring ( the original Japanesse versions with subtitles..far more creepy than the remakes )

My top rental picks:

- Ratatouille
- The Bourne Trilogy (I think all three films are all fantastic, and I don't typically like action films like this)
- Superbad
- Borat
- A Simple Plan
- Elf
- The Queen
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Me, You And Everyone We Know
- The Station Agent
- Sicko
- Brick
- Atonement
- Goodbye Lenin
- Shut Up and Sing
- Seinfeld, series 1-9 (I know this isn't a film, but I enjoyed working my way through the entire series using my LoveFilm membership)
- Donnie Darko
- Vanilla Sky (my all time favourite film, gets better every time I see it, which has been at least 20 times already)

Appocolypto - Very coold film and funny in places - big thumbs up from me.

Gross film 

1) Green Street (Hooligans)
2) This Is England

I just rented 'Nim's Island' with Jodie Foster, Abigail Breslin, and the luscious Gerard Butler. I thought it was cute.

The Endless Summer.... For the surfer in all of us......

Movies I've seen recently & loved:

Water
My Best Friend (sort of odd & charming French film - do try it!)
Stranger than Fiction
Japanese Story
Paris Je T'Aime (I still think about this one months later)
Cranford

And I have to say (based on discussion on the NOT to rent board) that I liked "Blades of Glory" despite myself - I nearly pissed myself during the ice skating performance scenes 

ETA: You can watch the trailer for My Best Friend here: http://www.tescodvdrental.com/product/detail.html?product_id=87363&auto_show_trailer=1&show_trailer=1
