Sticking with Disney re-makes, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin are also both excellent. Aladdin in particular, as it actually does something a bit different, whereas Beauty and the Beast is pretty much a shot for shot remake.
Swerve Dumbo though. Tim Burton will always hold a special place in my heart, but good lord he shouldn't be allowed near remakes. See also Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I realise now that I've seen all the 'live' Disney remakes. Which I promised myself I wouldn't do because they're shameless cash ins and talking animals freak me out a bit. Damnit...

This could have been a classic, but ends up being a mish mash of arthouse violence, shame!

@AndyRM I like the old Sword in the stone and other similar aged classics but you get to a stage where you can almost say it word for word .
We watched the latest Aladdin e couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it as well .
Will have to see what takes our fantasy when we look down the list .
Not a great lover of Charlie I am afraid .

It's just Ryan Gosling moping about in his usual charisma-free way for almost 3 hours. I didn't make it to the end and I was really looking forward to it.

Not sure I would go that far as it looks stunning, but does go on a bit

- Lancaster... the little city.
must of the stuff i watch features people punching, shooting, shouting and double crossing each other... Anne with an E is the antidote to all of that. It's pure escapism, utterly charming with some great characters. Purists complain that it strayed too far from the novels, but I've not read those so I'm not too bothered.

Toy Story 3 was today's choice and very good
The duelists - First movie of R.Scott. It might just be his best. Carradine and Keitel are both fantastic but the real star is cinematography. You could take out a still from almost any scene and pass it as a work of old master. Shot extensively during golden hour it evokes Barry Lyndon or Days of Heaven with its pastoral portrayal of Napoleonic France.

Drugstore Cowboy - 9/10
As a big Gus Van Zant fan, I'm not sure how this passed me by until now. Easily one of the finest films I've seen about addiction, featuring an outstanding cast led by a mesmerising Matt Dillon. It's beautifully shot, excellently paced and while it lacks, perhaps, the devastating impact of Requiem for a Dream it's a gritty, accurate and honest take on the realities of life as an addict.

Rocketman.
I enjoyed it more than Bohemian Rhapsody. It plays far more fast and loose with the facts but it makes for a better film.

Secret agent guinea pigs save the world. Watching prompted by the kids’ new pets. Fart jokes and self-discovery with cool gadgetry. Surprisingly good fun.

Unforgiven.
Moody, gritty, western thriller. And what a cast! Gene Hackman, one of my favourite actors, is sneering and casually nasty, Richard Harris is cocky and quickly brought down to size, Morgan Freeman turns out to be too worldly wise, and Clint is trying to be the better person and failing miserably. Just brilliant.
9/10.

One of those rare films in any genre that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best from any genre.
Unforgiven might be a better film (and rightly so!), but Josey Wales is better entertainment
