Dated, maybe, but still more than worthy of a watch....
McQueen is, for me, a 'proper' screen legend... Had that special aura about him that not many others have...
Aside from all the obvious titles Sand Pebbles remains one of my favourite films of his...
And, as a bit of a motorsport enthusiast Le Mans is a regular watch for me...
Pappilon(spelling) is a must watch when ever it is aired .Steve and Dustin two legends of the screen in a great film

Which one of the obvious plot "twists" did you mean Paul? The action is okay but I was a little disappointed overall.
Why the first 4 Police turned up. Looking back on it I reckon the Cops in the 85 didn’t go to the range much either;)

Knives Out; an Agatha Christie style whodunnit. Good plot with a few twists, good humour & not afraid to take the mickey out of itself at points, and a la Agatha, the clues are there if you want to play detective & there's the explanation at the end. Interesting change of role for Daniel Craig. Thoroughly enjoyed it & also got the Mrs BiM seal of approval.

Wasn’t sure about this one, the trailer makes it look like a lot of actors “hamming” it up and a clash of egos.
Might give it a go now. Cheers.(y)

There is some hamming in there Paul; in the context of the trailer I'd take your point, in the context of the film it worked for me. (y)

Just got back from it and it is kind of a Midsomer Murders/Death in Paradise with an A list cast and a budget, and there is a bit of scenery chewing going on, but extremely enjoyable if you enjoy those type of programs. Just go with it and it is great entertainment.

Hunter Killer.. US Navy Submarine Captain single handedly helps avert a war between Russia and US through his sheer will and faith. Basically Gérard Butler with an ego in a bean can. Not a great film.

Possibly a little harsh; surely the resolution had something to do with the mutual respect between Butler's & Nyquist's characters, & the respect of Nyquist's subordinates for their commander? Not the greatest I'd agree, but not the worst either.
