Hey, flist! Does anyone have any film recommendations? Because while I watch a LOT of TV I hardly watch any films at all, and now that I've run out of TV shows to marathon I thought I'd start watching films instead. :D I'm open to pretty much all genres except horror, and I especially like films that pass the Bechdel test.

Seriously, when I say I hardly watch any films at all I mean that you could recommend me something really mainstream that everyone and their mother has seen, and I probably won't have seen it. So, yeah, any suggestions at all would be appreciated!

Well it depends what sort of thing you like. If you fancy something upbeat, maybe Amelie or Dodgeball if you want a decent but standard comedy; 10 Things I Hate About You is a good rom-com type film; Serenity (yes, I love Joss Whedon :p) for sci-fi - or the new Star Trek if you missed that; Leon is cool, it has evil Gary Oldman, Jean Reno as a hitman and little Natalie Portman; The Terminator films are awesome; The Rocky Horror Picture Show is loltastic, as is Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (quite possibly Alan Rickman's greatest performance lol). Oh and Dangerous Liaisons - Glenn Close and John Malkovich are amazing.
Right, hope that helps, I'm sure there are loads I've missed off but it's difficult just off the top of my head :p

Oh, Amelie! I haven't seen that but really want to, so that'll definitely go on the list. I've seen a couple you've mentioned (LOVE Serenity!) but I'll check the rest out, thanks. :D
