Finding it difficult to get into a new tv series so I've been recently watching films in the evening to avoid that.
After watching American Gangster last night and going into it blind (not knowing anything about it) I found it really good.
What films would you suggest to watch? |

We watched 'Bone Tomahawk' after somebody on here recommended it. It's a horror western starring Kurt Russell, David arquette and Patrick Wilson.
Pretty good and unique film with some genuinely unforgettable scenes (that's if you can manage to not look away, grim isn't the word!)

The shootout on Heat was based on British Army techniques, probably the best Michael Mann film
Similar to what the OP watched
Casino
Mean Streets
Scarface
Collateral

Interesting, not a genre I tend to go for though. I'm more of a Parks and Rec over American Horror Story type of guy. |

Yeah Andy mcnab ex sas consulted on the film. They also use the clip of Val Kilmer reloading his assault rifle to show Marines that it shouldn't take longer than him. |

"Taken is good.

Taken, they've made 3 of those movies, at some you have to wonder if he's just a bad parent.

.
Just watched the Accountant, good film."
I haven't seen the third after I felt the second one was purely made to create a series of films rather than the one off it should have been. Is it good? And I'll factor that into consideration |

Just watched it too and it is good and I imagine there'll be a sequel.
LA Confidential is a firm favourite. |

John Wick is an awesome film and 2 is out in the cinema now too! That's our next date night sorted.

"Sicario"
Excellent film.
If you want something completely out of the ordinary and original try hardcore Henry.
Hard watch if you suffer motion sickness.
Can't say it's good just different.
As mentioned
John wick is good.
But if you want to watch a good film try unbroken.
Amazing true story. |
