What film did you watch last night?

[Chief Broom]

Really?

I love that film, an absolute classic. Bridges, Turturro, Buscemi, Goodman all excellent in it.

Depends on sense of humour I suppose but it's one of my favourite films.

Will revisit and give it a chance, one fan said she wasnt smitten but grew to love it and has now Big Lebowski tattoo's!

No pressure!

It is though a film I can watch many times, in fact it's been a few years now so thanks for the prompt.

The Big Lebowski, passed the time and was amusing here and there but wasnt impressed. Thought i'd give it a try as it had rave reviews on radio 4 and has cult status and many fans...why? what am i missing?

I would say it's very much a "vibe" film - if you get hooked by the vibe, then the whole thing become enjoyable, even when nothing is happening. Plenty of similar films out there, in this sense (I suspect most of the python films, for an e.g. )

I'm not actually part of the "cult", but I've only watched it the once and enjoyed it, so maybe I still have time to get hooked properly in ...

Ammonite with Kate Winslet. People were really mardy back then. Perhaps it was the lack of central heating.

Same thing with Fargo. I absolutely loved it but my sister, niece, and nephew hated it so much that they gave up after the first 20 minutes. I have not managed to persuade them to give it another go!

Which reminds me... I would like to watch it again.

It does have its moments. The scene where he does the 'traffic stop' on the old boy in the mobility scooter is brilliant. The rest of it though, meh...

1996 post-er apocalyptic Kurt Russell vehicle reboot Escape from LA.

Generally just a bit crap - don't think it knew what it wanted to be but whatever it was, it wasn't very good at it.

I was hoping for something to facilitate zoning out for a couple of hours; instead its conspicuous crapness proved too engaging..

I was not expecting much and i was not disappointed, the concept was ok enough and the special effects were ok but it didnt really make me engage with the characters or plot .

I Swear.

True life story about Tourettes syndrome.
Really good.

Scurry (Paramount). What a waste of time. I thought it might be a good alien invasion/monster movie as Paramount usually only shows half decent stuff. But this was terrible. Basically the whole film is 2 people crawling through caves being chased by a alrge alien insect. I should have checked IMDB forst, it has a 3.7 rating

Finally got round to watching The Searchers. Justifiably regarded as a classic. Obviously a very old film and dated in some respects, but the central themes stand up and John Wayne's performance is fantastic. Also beautifully shot.
