Interested in any suggestions, though if you're interested in targetting me I've tried to outline my preferences below. You'll quickly realise that I do not have a memory for movie titles or actor names.
So I went a long time without watching movies or tv series'. I haven't had a tv tuned in for 6 years and rarely watch movies. I don't keep up with what has or is coming out and have no idea what I have missed for the last several years.
I currently need to increase my at-home exercise significantly and will be spending a lot of time on an exercise bike or rowing machine and want to line up some good things to watch while I do so.
I'm not a huge fan of super hero movies (x-men, superman spiderman, daredevil) but am a fan of other sci-fi themed movies.
One I liked but cannot recall the name of, would be the last movie I watched at a cinema, was about a guy whos uncle had managed to cross into another world and suspend his body in his nephews world while he lived in the other and eventually the nephew crosses to this world to meet/save his uncle (or something?) and ultimately takes his place in suspension to live in this alternate world.
If you can decipher a movie title out of that jargon you're a legend.
Some of my favourite movies of all time are Smoking Aces, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Miami Vice, Layer Cake, Lucky Number Slevin - basically movies with several stories that twist together in some fashion. No idea if anything along those lines has come out in recent years.
I kind of want to see some Morgan Freeman movies, as the webs obsession with him came at a time that I was not watching movies. Any movies in particular that utilise his 'voice of God'?
I tend not to like horror movies, Saw series, Hostel etc but over-the-top stuff like (that movie about the 2 friends that buy a cabin in the woods and all the college students accidentally kill themselves) and Tarantino stuff I enjoy.
Don't limit yourself by that though, take me out of my comfort zone a bit.

Are the Batman movies (Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) a lot better than regular super hero movies? Should they be watched in any particular order?
Seeing a few movies mentioned by several people, a good sign that I need to see these films!

The new Batman movies, (in order: Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) in my opinion are one of the few comic book movies that are actually great movies.
They are shot like real films, very little CGI and very little flash, lot's of story and character development. Batman Begins is my 2nd fav, but real good. The Dark Knight is the best, and the Dark Knight Rises is good but not as. They depict Batman in a real dark gritty manner like in the comic books. I don't like many Super Hero movies like Spiderman, Superman, barely like some of the Xmen movies, and the Avengers are too flashy in my opinion. They should be watched in order, but don't have to be.
Also the Watchmen is a real great comic book movie. Probably the best comic book movie yet.
Also to note, all these movies that I mentioned should be watched LOUD, and with a LARGE SCREEN. Watching these movies on a smaller scale won't do any of them justice leaving a taste of betrayal in your mouth. A taste of betrayal left by your fellow voaters'.

My rowing machine sits in front of a 90" projector screen with 5.1 surround in the man cave. This could work well.
