Must Watch Movies Recommended By Digitians

Will we get the Shutter movie in video stores?

[sam9s]

@T159: It's not that I am inclined towards Zombie horror in particular but yeah I do enjoy watching them.But at the same time I give every other horror movie a chance too.I found shutter very interesting in terms of storyline & the effects.Didn't get much time to watch quality horror movies after that.Was watching Hellraiser series but they started getting way too annoying after the 4th installment.

This shutter looks good man...my next pebble in my collection......and so does this another movie A tale of two Sisters............seems to be a very decent psychological horror/thriller........man I love these kinda of movies....anybody seen this one......

EDIT:::hay allwyndlima ...for Shutter.......which version did to see the english or the Taiwanese with subs.........

Will we get the Shutter movie in video stores?

I doubt, its not there on seventymm either.............seventymm sucks....

EDIT:::hay allwyndlima ...for Shutter.......which version did to see the english or the Taiwanese with subs.........

There is currently only version that I know had came out & that would be the Thai one.The english one is due for release on 21st March in North America.Trust me,watch this movie in a dark room with a headphone & it would really be scary.I also need to watch one missed call which seems to be interesting.Much on the lines of a movie which I saw earlier,When a Stranger Calls.Camilla Bell *DROOOL*.

PS: Sam just call me Allwyn or Ally.Will save you time.

When Stranger Calls is a lame movie, the only + factor is Camilla Belle

[Ethan_Hunt]

^I didn't pay much attention to the movie anyway.And if I am not paying attention to the movie then it can be 2 things.Either the movie is downright boring or my radar has shifted to Babewatch.

Hey u will need a lot of interpretation and some figurative analysis for A Tale of Two Sisters. This movie is beautiful and horrifying at the same time, best psychological horror IMO, the second one that comes close to it is Jacob's Ladder.

Another recommendation could be Odishon - one scene in this movie will haunt u throughout the life.

If u are into Serial Killer mysteries then Memories of Murder is must watch for you. I assure u on this, it will live up to the must watch list of yours.

I have seen all 4 in Saw series, but the first one was just mind blowing, the last scene was the scorer. Other parts had somewhat predictable twists and similar ones. Though I enjoyed them too


More movies with twist(surprise) endings:

Jacob's Ladder

after reading numerous recommendations for Shawshank Redemption, i finally saw it today....awesome movie...definitely worth a watch

[ajayritik]

I have seen many people recommending the movie shutter. It doesn't matter whether its in other language. But can someone tell me where they watched the movie?

[MiNiMaL_sAnItY]

If you havent seen it yet, see 'primer'. The best intelligent sci-fi movie since '2001:A space odyssey'.

You might not understand on first viewing, but trust me, its worth it!

I have seen many people recommending the movie shutter. It doesn't matter whether its in other language. But can someone tell me where they watched the movie?

Where? I'm pretty sure none of us saw an Indian theatrical release.Nor did it have any DVD being released out here.So I have to assume,like me,most of the others got it from the obvious choice.

@esumit: Did you try www.opensubtitles.org ?

[confused!!]

Just watched The Negotiator...good movie

^^let them be listed here

Btw just watched a French movie Banlieue 13 (My Rating:7.6/10) (Awesome portrayal of free running, subtle twist, a one timer must watch, though subtitles were bad still the action was engrossing)

Its slightly in the line of Transporter and Ong Bak with a French touch. Watch it for some good action with not so deep plot.

THE PIANIST
Amazing film!!

[goobimama]

^^ Seriously man? The Pianist? You are recommending it? I mean, who here doesn't know that the pianist is an awesome film? It's like the 11th commandment that the pianist is an awesome film.

And if there is someone who doesn't think so, he should be thrown off the balcony just like that old dude was thrown in the movie. (I found that scene hilarious btw!)
