"Our fine four-fendered friend" Love it!
The child catcher still has the ability to terrify me now ??. It's a toss up between him and the witch from The Wizard of Oz as to the most frightening character ever in film history. The witch just sneaks it for me.

Great film though.

As we don't have children we sometimes do the "children, I smell children" scene! Love it. It is a great film and I've been singing along and my mood has lifted significantly.

Where does Fragger rank in comparison to those two though? :cool:;)

I was terrified of the Witch when I was a kid.
And Cruella De Vil.

The Snowman, recorded from Film4 the other night. Decent cast, Michael Fassbender, toby Jones and others but it was terrible. If anyone has seen it, what was the point of the Val Kilmer character? I was waiting for him to do something that justified the character but there was nothing

I remember at the time it got absolutely panned, I think it was terribly rushed to get it out by a certain date so some plot points/characters were just left hanging as you mention. Strange as it had an excellent director, cast and source material. The book it was based on is very good and I'd recommend everyone to read the Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo.

that’s disappointing, had it listed to watch but won’t bother now.

We had a veritable festival of films over the weekend all of which Mrs Wolf had never seen.

First up I introduced to the Epic that is Top Gun. Fair to say she thought it was wholly average whilst I enjoyed it as usual.

Then it was onto 4 Weddings & a funeral, a few chuckles from my good lady but again said it was just OK!

Somehow after that we ended up Watching all 5 Pirates of the Caribbean films as she hadn't seen a single one. Whilst I am a fan of Johnny Depp & his quirky Captain Jack mannerisms, I think the films are just above average as a family thing, but Mrs Wolf absolutely loved them all ??‍♂️.

There is no accounting for taste....

My god mate, I think you've managed to select all the films I hate the most :LOL:

I’m recording All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) at the moment on TCM. Just started but can be caught on TCM+1 if interested. The suffering of the ordinary German soldier through the horrors of the trenches. Waking every day knowing that quite possibly you might never wake from a night sleep again - and knowing your choices are very limited ?

She needs to wash her mouth out!! The handsomest version of Tom Cruise ever, great soundtrack and great dogfights. 4 Weddings - what's not to say - got me into poetry and W H Auden in particular. Like Notting Hill there isn't a scene which you can take your eyes off...a classic.

No accounting for taste as you say.

Just finished Yesterday and so wanted to love it like the classics and another one to dip in and out of on any given day and...it disappointed. Ok so it was an ok watch but with the soundtrack and premise it seems like it could have been so much more.
