Let's have a films thread.

Well I thought it was bloody great tbf 

[Dr Marco]

Crock of Gold: A few rounds with Shane McGowan

 

decent documentary, good footage

[RobHawk]

More for next year as it's a Christmas film, but jingle jangle on Netflix is one of the best Christmas films I've seen in years, well worth a watch.

[FOXYTALK]

Coco good film on Christmas Day. You can watch on the Iplayer. 8/10. Good music and telling storylines about dementia not easy when pitched at children /families. 

[Tuna]

Is Midnight Sky (George Clooney) on Netflix any good ???

[Tinman]

[oakman]

Just watched Forrest Gump for the first time in like 20 years - forgotten what a great film it was.

[The Bear]

Anyone have any films that you rated really, really highly but haven't actually seen in years? 

 

Two immediately come to mind for me. 21 Grams and All About My Mother (Almodovar film) I gave them both 9/10 or 10/10 after seeing them, but that was about 20 years ago and I still haven't re-watched either of them since. 

 

I might just try and find them both for this week actually.

Watched All the Bright Places on Netflix last night - loved it.

 

Won't be everybody's cup of tea but it tackles some mental health issues beautifully and hit a chord with me particularly (it made me cry) for that reason.

Bought Leon the other day and I don't think I've seen it since I watched it at the cinema back in the 90's. Pretty sure it was an excellent film.

It is excellent. I've seen that one a few times and it's still great.

Don't think I've seen either of those. 

[urban.spaceman]

Highlander’s on!

Yeah, big fan of Leon, watched it loads of times. I think Nicolas Cage based his career on Gary Oldman's overacting tour de force.

 

Have you seen the Director's Cut? It's a very different film.

Good film with a great cast, one of the best slow motion shootout's in cinema as well.

It's a bit slow going and not a lot really happens.... 

 

The other 3 people watching it had a lovely kip, I persevered in the hope it would develop but was disappointed. 

 

One for die hard Clooney fans or insomniacs. 

[Soar Fox]

Clemency.

 

A waste of 2 hours I’ll never get back again. Can’t believe it’s got such high reviews on imdb.

Agreed. Dull stuff. Watched because ratings were good but nothing happened for two hours

Just watched Soul. Might be Pixar’s best movie 

Just watched this tonight, got to agree. Was fantastic. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Watched a film the other day starring the holy trinity of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Vinnie Jones. Can’t remember the name but it was about Sly and Arny escaping from an inescapable prison.
 

Pretty gormless viewing but ok.
