You got a point there mentioning Get Carter in comparison, also a classic. Any other good uk crime thrillers which come to mind?
I also love the Harry Palmer movies The Ipcress File and especially The Billion Dollar Brain, both starring Michael Caine and the latter one is directed by Ken Russel and i find it a very special one. Kind of a surreal strange take on an agent story.
I just saw
Demon Seed - by Donald Camell, 1977
and i was thrilled. A very interesting story about AI and regarding the production year, this movie was way ahead of its time. Of course it is a little outdated but for me it worked on every level. Great sci-fi story, good actors, good cinematography and also the sfx are great and were very nice to watch.
If you liked The Matrix and more the story and question it raised about virtual reality, reality and consciousness i recommend:
The Thirteenth Floor - Josef Rusnak, 1999
This one was surprisingly good and i don't know why i hadn't seen this one earlier. I only got the dvd and it looks a bit less than it could look on that format and i would like to have a restored version on bluray. It seems a bit low-budget sometimes, but it has also great images and the story is what counts. A very suspenseful, clever take on virtual reality with a bit of film noir style in it.
@Guillaume
Were you able to watch Black Sunday and what are your thoughts? And more important: could you turn off the subtitles??
