Let's have a films thread.

Just watched wolf of Wall Street. What a cracking film.

Really is enjoyable, seeinga trading centre floor in wall street is certainly one on my bucket list.

In honour of the recently deceased Ben Bradlee, I just watched All The President's Men once more.

 

What a great movie - even close to 40 years later, the suspense gets me every single time.

Have you watched the other Pakula films of his 'paranoia trilogy'? Klute is excellent.

Marvel released the teaser a week earlier than expected because of a leak somewhere:

[The Doctor]

Looks pretty cool - quite a few hints towards a black panther movie by the looks of things.

Also, Dracula untold is brilliant - lot of focus on the idea of him being vlad the Impaler.

Just watched wolf of Wall Street. What a cracking film.

 

Agree with that, One of the best films I have seen in a long time.

[bovril]

Went to watch 'Gone Girl'. Rich sociopaths, boobs and inconsistent narrative - 6/10.

Purge:Anarchy,decent if not better sequel than the original

 

Dog Pound - Canadian remake of Scum,not as gritty or good as the original but definitely worth watching

[Carl the Llama]

Just watched The Man With The Iron Fists.  It reviewed terribly and you can see why - lots of terrible editing and RZA simply shouldn't be acting, but even so I genuinely enjoyed it and would even go so far as recommending it.  Pure popcorn.

Anyone see Pride? Don't be put off by the name, it's a bloody good film about the 83/84 miners strike and we'll worth a watch.

Also looking forward to the new Kray film next year.

[MC Prussian]

 

So, so good. It has a slow pace about it, little action, great characters and it'll get to you at the very end.

This movie is unbelievably beautiful and smart, I can watch it over and over again.

Heard it's meant to be very good.

I have seen the exquisit Three Days Of The Condor multiple times (not by Pakula, I know; but just as suspenseful), but Klute is still on my to-watch list.

The Secret of our Eyes

[RonnieTodger]

Went to watch 'Gone Girl'. Rich sociopaths, boobs and inconsistent narrative - 6/10.

 

I saw that on Saturday. I enjoyed it, but it was very bizarre.

The Secret of our Eyes

Thanks rojo is red I think. Been a while since I did it at night school. eyes makes more sense.

Just watched Equalibrium with Christian Bale, set in the future where the government control everything (even more so than now). Bale is a kind of agent who keeps people in line until he begins to question what he's doing. Thought it was fairly decent, had elements of the Matrix in. 7/10

[GeorgeTheFox]

Just seen fury. Would definitely recommend it even though the Americans have got it in their heads that they fought in Africa

They were fighting in North Africa from 1942. And saw it yesterday and loved it. Some of it was a very unrealistic though.

[Leicesterpool]

 

Does anyone want this to happen?

Really? I need to brush up on my gcse history then! Realism doesn't bother me to much but there was a fair amount of stormtrooper-esque aiming

[J.Lisemore]

Mandela: Long walk to freedom. If I'm honest I'd underestimated how inspirational the man was.

[MooseBreath]

Boyhood. 8.0/10. At least 1.2 points for the whole same actors for 12 years thing. Storyline is decent but nothing special, which was partly the point I suppose. Not quite sure it's worthy of 'film of the decade' as Peter Bradshaw described it.

[Guest seanfox778]

Nightcrawler 8/10

Sort of like a dark satire on the way the news business works with some dark humour. Jake Gyllenhaal was very creepy in it, I didn't think he was the greatest actor but he was very good in this. I've heard he's good in Prisoners too but I've yet to see that one.
