Let's have a films thread.

[Zingari]

All carry on films are shit.

This time I'm not kidding.

Beat me to it lol

[sphericalfox]

Which is everyone's favourite Carry On film ?

which bears up best to deconstructive criticism ?

Mine is Carry on Jack

Mine is 'Carry on Strawing Dogs' though not as popular as 'Carry on Human Centipede', Barbara Winsor's performance as third link was exceptional.

Carry on Screaming,just for Oddbod and Oddbod Jr

[Daggers]

Girl with the Dragon Tats

I hate the notion of awards but did this win Best Use Of A CL350 at the Oscars?

If not it damn well should have done - what a gorgeous motorbike.

It made me want a café racer and I can't even ride.

Love you, but I'm happily married.

Realistically I can't really afford it this year.

It's something that I'd definitely like to do but I've already taken out a small personal loan for a trip to Japan this year and I really need to learn to drive first. I appreciate that might be sacrilege to some genuine bike nuts but, being sensible, I figure it's the more valuable, long-term life skill.

Comparing a film to works of Lynch is a pretty sure fire way to put me off. Possibly the most over-hyped film maker of all time.

I'll happily put my hand up and admit that, unfortunately, I had to study his works and being forced to de-construct a piece of art is the fastest way to be put off by it, in my experience. But Christ alive. I remember sitting through Blue Velvet, desperately trying not to fall asleep whilst pretentious morons who didn't even understand the term beat off over how "post-modern" it all was.

Ych y fi.

I'm not an air head, I don't watch films to disengage my brain, I'm happy to be challenged but weird for the sakes of weird? No thank you.

Phube and Finners in agreement shocker!

But have you seen Eraserhead?

I love Carry On Cruising the best. And it was also the first one in colour.

[sphericalfox]

Makes me both excited about Prometheus and makes me want to watch Alien again!

[sphericalfox]

Check out this lads director tributes or 'Works'. Great stuff and approved by Edgar Wright himself

Saw this last night. A decent film,if not a bit predictable.

[NeilyBoy]

That's a fine beard.

I enjoyed it to a point, but being a miserable bastard felt let down more as it progressed culminating in what I felt was a pointless ending.

It showed all the men to be full of bravado but basically weak characters apart from the weakest who suddenly found reserves of strength. Banging the mental illness drum again - the main protagonist simply would not have acted in that way. From how he was when we join the group, he made a totally unbelievable Lazarus-like rise from the mentally dead.

It wasn't a stinker though - a 6/10 as long as you've got something strong to drink and snacks.

Watchable comedy horror

[Daggers]

Stunning insight into the most dangerous motor-race, with 5 deaths per mile along its course. A wonderful, and at times deeply moving, look inside the riders, their families, the fans and those who work to run it. The camera work is sumptious.

If you have no interest in the subject matter there's a distinct possibility you'll be bored shitless. I thought the film was nothing short of outstanding.

I want to see this even though I have no interest in the sport...I liked senna but don't like F1. I can pretty much watch any documentary.

[Daggers]

Hugo - insufferably dull, turned it off after thirty minutes.

The Woman In Black - I knew I shouldn't have listened to the hype and comments on Facebook. It's a horror film for children. Having just finished S1 of American Horror this pales in comparison, and Harry Potter's limp voice really pisses me off - hit puberty man and drop an octave.

[21st Century Fox]

Really want to see this, though they've made the trailer look pretty third rate.

[General Smuts]

This Means War is watch-able if not entirely rubbish if you want to keep your missus quiet for a few hours. Why anyone would fight over Greasy Reese is beyond me though. The flick is so far beneath Tom Hardy it's laughable.

[21st Century Fox]

Javier Bardem on the set of the new Bond film Skyfall.

[Daggers]

Johnny English.

I laughed as the cat fell off the ledge. I laughed as he sat on the cat.

If the whole movie was about inflicting suffering on cats it would have been a winner for me. I scored it low, my kids giggled all the way through...proof that kids are stupid.
