What film did you watch last night?

[Garry A]

Stan and Ollie. Loved it. The lead actors were amazing. Watched the original 'County hospital' again on YouTube this morning.

I might have to watch The Devil Rides Out or Blood on Satan's Claw sharpish... seeing as we're on page 666

I wanted to watch Contagion (again), but didn't want to spend the £3.50 or whatever, so I watched this instead:

That actually satisfied my appetite. I had kind of forgotten how much I'm coming to dislike Hollywood high drama.

The Wild Goose Lake. A Chinese film noir. Motorbike gangs, death, revenge and betrayal, what could possibly go wrong? Two and a half hours of slow paced tension shot mainly in gloomy squalor, interrupted by bursts of uncompromising action shot mainly in squalid gloom. Unintended consequences all round. Great stuff but it droops a bit in the middle: 7 / 10.

Filmed in Wuhan of ll places.

Tampopo.
An absolute classic. No mark out of ten can do it justice. So good it deserves two clips. The second one is NSFW and in these locked down days might not even be safe for WFH.

Watched Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansen,I've seen it before when it came out but was just as creepy this time round ! One of those love it or hate it films I think..

I could watch Scarlett Johansen read the telephone directory. Is there something wrong with me?

No.

Lucy is a great film with Ms Johansson front and centre throughout (rather than playing second fiddle to Robert Downey Jr or Chris Evans).

Just watched the secret Life of Walter Mitty , very good indeed

Made In Dagenham,Seeing all those men and women on bikes going to and fro to work.Took me back to my teens.

Every one cycled to work.Brush Engineering were one of the largest employers in Loughborough When they left work it like a double peloton.No fancy bikes all utility stuff.Probably the hybrid of the day.

Having said that if memory serves me correctly the company had a club called Falcon named after the original name of
The factory Falcon Works.

Latest Star Wars on my PC now. Bad Boy's For Life on Friday.

 

[Profpointy]

"Porco Rosso" an utterly joyful wonder from Studio Ghibli. The title character is a seaplane pilot and bounty hunter battling pirates in the Mediterranean. Oh, and probably worth mentioning he's been turned into a pig by a curse. Explores duty, honour, love, ambition, loss, and even the rise of fascism gets a mention. Anyhow, like other Studio Ghibli films it is beautiful, magically and immensely entertaining.

Netflix seem to have a great many Ghibli films and this one just caught my eye.

 

[Eziemnaik]

Long days journey into night - I truly tried to like it and failed, didnt care for main character, still not sure what it was about, beatiful camerawork
Maybe I am too simple for this movie
Poor mans In the mood for love 1/5

So long, my son - fantastic drama, if you like Ozu movies you will like this, IMO better movie than Parasites 5/5

So nosey, what film did you watch last night! They'll be asking for my bank details next. But since you ask, I WILL give an answer.

Last night, I paid for and watched Le Mans 66 (known as Ford Vs Ferrari in the US) and it was fantastic. Christian Bale does a superb Birmingham working-class accent and he is mesmeric. Well worth a resounding 6/10 (where 6 is the top possible score).

We've been working our way through the Star Wars films in chronological-story order, starting with Solo.

Not sure what film saga we will try next.
