What film did you watch last night?

[Grant Fondo]

The Da Vinci Code.

Even the Smart car chase scene could redeem this tripe. Do they even know how much a Smart car wing mirror costs? Even Tom Hanks' toupee seemed to want to make a bolt for freedom.

-5/10. It actually sucked the life force out of me.

Yes, terrible isn't. Actually gets worse on second watch, what an achievement

Two Hitchcocks. The Birds and Rear Window, the latter has the better acting imo but both still very watchable

You should(n’t) read the book, it’s worse. Apparently when he got in the Smart he ‘gunned’ the engine.

Agree, a real marmite book, a lot of people love it, but i did prefer it to Steven Gerards autobiography

Vertigo

Vertigo (and North by North West) are great pure entertainment films and masterpieces of cinematic storytelling

Also look out for Mel Brooks' "High Anxiety" - a truly brilliant and very affectionate spoof on Vertigo. Again a master of the craft of filmmaking

Rear Window by Hitchcock.Still creeps me out !

 

[benb]

I can never decide on my favourite Hitchcock film.
My top 4 are:

Vertigo
North by North West
The 39 Steps
Rear Window

But don't ask me to put them in order!

Saboteur is well worth a watch too, and Touch of Evil has some wonderful shots.

How could I forget Strangers on a Train? Classic!

Mission Impossible 6

"Touch of Evil" was directed by Orson Welles, as well as him being in it. It has Welles typical flashiness (and brilliance !) as well as his superb playing of the villain - an outstanding film

So it was. I knew that really, no idea how I got it muddled in with Hitchcock.

I watched The Good Liar at the cinema yesterday. Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen drama/thriller. Quite good, bit of a twist at the end. Acting better than the story. I'm not sure Helen Mirren would fancy Ian McKellen tbh, especially as he looks loads older than her - you have to suspend disbelief for that bit. One character drives a classic Saab 900 so that was a bonus.

I had the good fortune to watch a double header of Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 on Sunday with the kids, good grief it was bad, but they laughed a lot which was nice, but maybe a little concerning!!!

OK, so not strictly a film, though we did see it at the cinema last night:
