Films that left you speechless

Two very good movies I've seen recently that have left me speechless

Deadmans shoes - film set in matlock with paddy considine, a soldier returns to his home village to get revenge on the local scallys who bullied his autistic brother player by toby kebell. Really good acting and a really gut wrenching twist at the end of the film. Highly recommend giving it a watch

Irreversible - French film where it's set in reverse order. Two men brutally kill a man in a nightclub with a fire extinguisher and as the film goes on you learn that the guy whose been killed is involved in raping a woman earlier in the night and these men are out for revenge. Very violent but gripping.

Mosul: on Netflix and all in Arabic but again a very good watch. Iraqi swat team members are searching the city of Mosul for what seems to be an unknown throughout the film until the end whilst having to fight ISIS soldiers. Very good film if you can get past the Arabic language and English sub titles

Any one seen these ?

Any gritty film recommendations?

Midnight express an american slammed up in a turkish prison
And the elephant man
Both true stories.

I've heard that midnight Express is very good,

Similar type of film is a prayer before dawn, true story of Billy Moore in a thai prison

Dead Mans Shoes is an excellent film, been out a while now. Shane Meadows film. Same director as "This is England" i think

I just about to watch deadman shoes.

Memento was awesome, and pay it forward let me open mouthed.

Let us know what you think of it mate, well worth the watch

Unbelievable a true story on Netflix is really worth a watch

Also Inside Man which was on the BBC the good lady tells me...

Both superb viewing

I echo everything said about Midnight Express, if you haven't seen it then you definitely should.

Agree about Deadman’s Shoes. Very gritty

"Southern comfort"
Was a great film also
bit like deliverance
AMERICAN TA SOLDIERS
In the swamps are getting picked off by hillbillies after killing a yocal the ta's have no live ammunition good film if you can find it from the 70s

Eat The Rich, a British Film (Comicstrip Presents) about a South London gangster becoming Home Secretary. Possibly the funniest film I’ve ever seen.

Peter Cook/Dudley Moore the hound of the Baskervilles a master piece of British cinema

I echo the comments on Midnight Express it’s a classic.

Also loved Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

I just realised that Dead Mans Shoes isn't the film i thought. This is England is good enough though.

Nil by mouth - starring ray winstone.
American History X - ed Norton

the wicker man (1973)....creepy and scarey....it's on bbc 4 in two weeks time

Nil by mouth - starring ray winstone.
American History X - ed Norton

American history x is one of my favourites

The opening beach landing in saving private Ryan

The opening beach landing in saving private Ryan

Agree with you here, this generation dont realise how lucky they are. Hate to think how many young mendied that day

Nil by mouth - starring ray winstone.
American History X - ed Norton

American history x is some film

I would also like to add pulp fiction to my list of gritty films, up there as tarantinos best in my opinion

Murder in the First starring Kevin Bacon, Christian Slater and Gary Oldman. All great actors but Bacon was superb in his portrayal of Henri Young, a 17 year old who was sent to prison for stealing $5 from a post office. He then ended up in Alcatraz where he murdered a fellow inmate and went on trial for murder in the first degree.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Brilliantly directed by Sergio Leone who was decades ahead of his time. And Clint Eastwood, has there ever been a cooler man on screen?

The Thing starring Kurt Russell. No CGI in this, just a brilliant special effects department.

Salom's Lot starring David Soul and James Mason. I first watched this when I was 12 years old, I didn't sleep for a fortnight waiting for the scratching sound on my bedroom window. Still gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Also got to mention Braveheart, Fight Club and Tarantino's Django Unchained.

Saving Private Ryan, maybe because it was the fact I was in a cinema with surround sound. Seeing them trying to get off the boats onto the beaches left me speechless , imagine how it was in reality, for the brave soldiers who done it for real.

Braveheart is a load of inaccurate nonsense that Scots Natz thinks a documentary

In the beach scene everybody was in focus, normally it’s only the principal characters in the shot, with the background blurred. So it looked far more realistic.
