The Beach (2000)
The Beach is CLASSIC
This is my favourite movie ever. Seeing that it contained Leo DiCaprio put me off watching it for a while, but to all the people who feel like that, you're missing out! He acts well in this one and he's not Leo, he's Richard. If you begin to watch the film and dislike it, stick with it. The film doesn't really get going for a few minutes. Even if you hate the entire film- unlikely- simply seeing that beautiful Thai island is enough, and the water. It is a really good film, that might not seem particularly deep at first but is really good to watch. The 'Richard's-going-mad-cartoon/video-game' sequence is quite mad, and reverts into Leo rather than Richard again, but it's only a short scene. I love Étienne and I feel really sorry for him!! It's so unfair, and Françoise is so unfaithful!! Also, in response to the person who said a community of 20-year-olds with no kids is unlikely- did you see the scene where Sal and Richard are doing the 'shopping trip' back to the mainland, and are laden with everyone's requests, not least a very large pack of Durex? I love the Beach and I would recommend at least one viewing to everyone. if you hate it after that, fair enough; but give it a chance, regardless of Leo diCaprio.
U2: Rattle and Hum (1988)
Corrections- has sort of a spoiler I suppose
I love the movie- and U2- and that review I just read was excellent, I would like to ask whee you got the footage from?! Also , just because it's annoying me, it's not 'Rock and roll stops the traffic', it's 'Rock and roll- Stop the traffic.' I have loved U2 since I was about 10 and ATYCLB came out. My favourite album is the 'Rattle and Hum' album though, and my favourite song is 'Heartland.' I've loved that song ever since seeing it in the film with them on the hill looking over the river. I think that Rattle and Hum is good, but some videos purely of U2's concerts- such as Live at Red Rocks and U2 Go Home- are almost as good, if in a different way.
