Hey everyone. I used to be a huge fan of movies. But recently I've been too busy with work, so I really do not know what good movies were released over the past 2-3 years.

I'm mostly interested in comedy (ex: The Ugly Truth) or thrillers (ex: Fast Five). So any recommendations?
i'm a movies fan myself :
here's a list of film (not the very recent ones ):
comedy :
hangover part and 2.
grown ups
bad teacher
brides maids (was a success but i didn't think it was worth seeing)
take me home tonight (not hilarious but i like the story)
21 Jump street (a must watch )
the Reunion
crazy stupid love
other guys
little fockers (if you like the other parts)
death at a funeral (+1 ,even that it wasn't that much of a success )
friends with benefits .
Cop Out (+1)


Thrillers (might involve other genres):
Grey
In time
the dark knight
The taking of Pelham 123 ( great)
Inception (i'm sure you've watched it ,EPIC MOVIE)
UNstoppable .
Man on a ledge
chronicle
from paris with love
Salt
Prince of Persia (+1 ,wasn't a success since it premiered with HP )
Taken
(all of the Bourne movies, as a thriller fan YOU MUST HAVE SEEN THOSE :P ,there's an upcoming one the Bourne Legacy ;) )


if you also like sci fi -fantasy :
Iron Man(both parts)
Thor
Captain America
Transformers
X -Men (first class,the most recent release)
hanna

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I've watched some of those you've listed, but I haven't seen most of them.
A french movie available with English Subtitles : Intouchables ( based on a true story) and this is one hell of a movie.Must Watch! 10/10

Another fun comedy is Slammin Salmon. Watched it 6 times and will do again.
Madagascar 3!
abiut jhonny engilsh reborn, i found it really silly and lame.

movies i recently watched and liked are:
inception ( just wow!)
hallway pass ( great comedy)
the newest X-men ( forgot the name though)
the devils double ( the Americans probably did exagerate alot with this one, but it really a good movie)
Seems like everyone agrees that "Inception" is a great movie. You guys got me really curious about it. Downloading it right now.

Other than that, I've already prepared a long list of the movies mentioned in this thread. :)
it's better if you get Inception in HD ,it's worth it , and this movie is a mind twister :P
@metalboy it's X men first class .
and yes i find jhonny english to be lame ,the first was better but still ehh.

Kassem put sherlock holmes on the top after Inception ;)
Alright will do!

About X-Men First Class, is it the movie where all of them were still too young and when Professor X and Magnetto were still friends? I've seen this one on TV last week. Epic movie, just like every other X-Men movie!
Men in black 3
Source code
Little fockers
Night at the museum
Safe
Ice age 4: continental drift
Apocalypse (more like a documentary but pretty interesting)
The avengers
The amazing spider-man

most of them are action movies
only inception is a pure thriller
What's nice about Inception is that people still argue about the ending :-)
