Watched Donnie Darko last night (for the umpteenth time), one i really enjoy, but it does drag a bit in places and as my charming friend did point out there's "Too much talking" for those more inclined towards special effects and things going boom.
Elfin Leid is another i've watched recently (not really a film, but when you watch all episodes in one it's pretty much there), and is a firm favorite of mine, though not for the squeamish.
