All look really good but I'm backing my film :lol:

i'm gonna close this about 1pm tomorrow.

My vote definitely goes to Dark City, didn't even know it existed until I watched the trailer and it looks amazing; Chasing Amy wasn't far behind and I've already seen Crazy Heart. But Angel Eyes? Really?

fun fact, Chasing Amy is actually one of my favourite films ever.

I think you've mentioned it before haha it's directed by Kevin Smith, who I know you love, but why do you like the film so much? It looks pretty average from the trailer, and if it wasn't for the person who directed it and it's cult reputation, I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it. Also, Ben Affleck's hair looks DREADFUL.

the trailer doesnt do it justice that much, it's funny, well written, has meaning, and i just generally find it brilliant. probaly Kevin Smith's best.

There's nothing more frustrating than a good film having a porr trailer, I will pick it up if I come across it in HMV. Finally got a bit of spare cash, so investing it in a few movies.

closed.

 

Dark City it is.
