What film did you watch last night?

[Richard A Thackeray]

I enjoyed the first one, as did daughter (now 24), I don't think Sam (her boyfriend) will go with her, so it'll probably be a dad & daughter trip

We've been today, a teatime screening (16:40), at 'Xscape' (near jct32/M62)

A damned good film!
It's a bit like Wallace & Gromit. in that there's little hidden details that you see, or think you see
eg; Judy & Nick steal/'borrow' a hot-rod belonging to a Pig charactor, & at one point in the ensuing chase, a Nitrous Oinkcide bottle is seen in the car

Play date on prime with Alan ritchson , aka reacher and the guy out of king of queens.
Started out as a good bit of light entertainment before going a bit off course , still worth a watch.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Men In Black and Men In Black II, seen them both before several times, still makes me chuckle.

Might relive my childhood and if I can find it rewatch Gremlins

We have come into 3 months of Apple, so looking for things there….tonight we watched Fountain of Youth. Got pretty panned by critics, and in some ways rightly so, but an entertaining enough romp in the Indiana Jones style.

My favourite has been Slow Horses with Ted Lasso as a (completely different) close second.
Controversial opinion, Ted Lasso isn’t really about football and it is likely better than you would imagine.

I wouldn't say that's a controversial opinion about Ted Lasso. It's got nothing to do with football, but it's fun to get the references if you're a fan of the game.

Ah yes, Slow Horses and Ted Lasso are both excellent. We had a previous subscription & binged those.
& yes, some non-footy pals have every much enjoyed Ted Lasso.
Down Cemetary Road entertaining too, I think still an episode to come, but this is veering off films now 🫣

Ah! Forgot this was the movie thread. Personal taste, there are a few good ones but they tend to be unnecessarily long.
Stand outs from memory that exceeded expectations were Blitz and The Greatest Beer Run Ever.

 

[Punkawallah]

Eight Iron Men, Lee Marvin, 1952. Notable for being a WW2 movie where you never see a German.

Lost this thread so catch up time.

Train Dreams on Netflix. Well acted and excellently shot. Instantly forgettable.

Other end of the scale...

F1 on ATV+. It is a Hollywood film about F1 starring Brad Pitt which does exactly as it says on the tin. Go in with elevated expectations and you will probably be disappointed. Go in expecting it to do as it says on the tin and you'll probably enjoy the ride.

Wildcat (2025) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_(2025_film)

Waste of time. Predictable, obvious, uninspired nothing positive. amazed I managed to last 20 mins before giving up.

The Bride Wore Black

I watched it a long time ago, and as a similar story came up in conversation with our oldest last week I decided to buy the dvd. Didn't quite live up to my memory of it, but worth a watch nonetheless.

Klaus - 8/10

Slightly different take on traditional Christmas story elements, lovely to see hand drawn animation too.

 

[stephec]

Navy Seals (1990)

Pretty much Top Gun without the planes, with Charlie Sheen as the gung ho maverick.

Lots of bangs and flashes as the good old US of A beats the nasty Arab terrorists, and obviously there's a bit of sadness as someone's got to die.

A very average 5/10.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Jay Lemon. An ageing Hollywood actor contemplates the effect he's had on the people around him as he's pursued fame. George Clooney at his best.
