Green Street 1,2 & 3 - The first one is the best, seems a bit more authentic, despite most of the characters being too sanitised to be believable as thugs, and at least it revolves around actual football. The second one, set in prison, is altogether different but still entertaining. The third one has too many caricature characters in it, a bit of a parody really, but I had to watch them all once I started.
American Beauty - first watch, really enjoyed this. Cleverly made, and has an extra layer of creepiness to Spacey's character, knowing what we know about him now. The fantasy sequences with Mena Suvari are so cringey and funny. Just found out this was made in 1999, and I've only got round to seeing it now, finger on the pulse as usual
Dead Man's Shoes - passable British revenge film, but had to laugh at some of the actors, they're like something out of a badly acted British porn film, not sure I haven't seen a couple of them on TelevisionX.
The Horseman - Australian revenge movie, much grittier than the previous mentioned. As I remember it was in grainy black & white, a no nonsense mission of paying back some nasty men for what they did to his daughter. Makes a change to hear all Aussie accents in a film. Satisfying but it was a bit sad too.
