What film did you watch last night?

My standout movie of recent years. Admittedly I don't get out much. But if I had to pick one, I'd pick that. And if I had to pick one cinematic moment of recent years, it would be the bear attack. It's just so instant. There's no dramatic buildup. He sees the thing and it's on him. Awesome. And yes, young Di Caprio plays a blinder.

I agree.
The opening scene with the Indian attack on the camp is fantastic too.

Another fan of The Revenant here. It's rare that a film is better than the book, but in this case I think it is as the book is a bit of a tedious slog.

The 12th Man and the Revenant are stunning films, gritty beyond anything we mere people can understand, how humans can occasionally overcome insurmountable odds. 12th Man even more so because it's based on real life events.

DiCaprio isnt one of my favoured actors, never really liked him I much....but The Revenant, mindblowing.

7 Days in Entebbe.

I got to watch the Sayeret Matkal fly half way across Africa to rub out some very bad people. True story. Boo yah!

Is that the one on Netflix, I was thinking of that for tonight?

Just spotted this thread.

Have added a couple to MyList in Netfix, for future viewing.

Recently watched "Two Popes". I am not a Catholic, or, even, remotely religious, but, it was quite an interesting and watchable film.

Last night, watched "Wild", Reese Witherspoon..... don't bother is my verdict, jumps from present to past to present, one long boring whinge.

Yes, it is on Netflix.

Aye, it's on Netflix. it's a bit arty in places, but still good.

Operation Thunderbolt made the Iranian Embassy job look like 2 winos fighting over the last can of Red Stripe. An audacious operation, massive in scale...and no one has tried hijacking Israelis for 44 years as a result, because they know wherever they go in the world the Sayeret or the Shaldag will come and punch their ticket for them.

Cheers guys, I'll probably give it a go tonight.

I'd agree that Baby Driver is a good film, but I wouldn't say it's anything like Drive.

one of them is really good and the other is as dull as dishwater.

I was wondering what you meant by, 'a bit arty,' until near the end , didn't really add much to it did it?

Possum - 10/10

I don't really have the words to describe this. It's wild, unsettling and will stick with you. The closing scene is probably the most harrowing thing I've seen.

Just watched this and all I can say is wow!, unexplainable really..

I THINK I've understood most of it but probably not!.

Definitely worth watching though either way.

Not Blade runner, but still related to your comment, my favourite film is <spelling edit> "Two Lane Blacktop" and I must have watched it a dozen or more times. Many people rate it as a one star film, huge bore, nothing happens and so on. These aren't silly comments, and you could fit the entire script on the back of a fag packet, yet I find it utterly compelling, and notice something extra each time I watch.

Somebody told me about this a while back, I loved it as well. Needs another viewing!.

I was going to add onto my last sentence, 'just for the car chases alone.'

I went home yesterday b4 lunch ,after feeling washed out from 2 days of migraine..and sat watching Ronin again.
I tend to like films with De niro
