As a kid I was a huge Leeds utd fan so just had to watch the Dammed United on catch-up last night .
What a mud bath the baseball ground was .I remember watching motd and thinking our village pitch was a golf green compared to it.
Great film and what an actor that man is

Zombieland 2 last night, not a patch on the first one but still sort of enjoyable.

Resisted for a long time but have made the mistake of watching "Contagion"

Too real, virtually what's happening just now, spooky.

Hated it, wife and I walked out half way through at cinema bored to tears

You probably won’t like Lawrence of Arabia then. Also Ben Hur when you stream it has 10 minutes of music before the film starts. ??

You're right I don't like either of those films they were also a good 20 years old before i was born so by the time introduced to them as a kid I hada preconceived idea they were old & boring, such is youth. .. Probably should revisit them and see if I change my mind,.doubt I will

I’m watching Heat now, again, I could watch it over and over again.....

Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the other night. Saw it in the cinema when it came out, and was very disappointed by it, thought it was really slow and far too long, but have to say I enjoyed it a lot more second time round. Maybe because my expectations were a lot lower this time. It's much more of a laid back comedy than the usual Tarantino action thriller.

Lawrence of Arabia is beautifully shot, Ben Hur a classic.

I was about 9 years old when I was made to watch them so to a kid they were unbelievably dull. I'll give them a rewatch and let you know if I changed my opinion.

having a Japanese fest. Watching fil,s from Takeshi Kitano. I first watched the latest trilogy, featuring him as the same yakuza gangster - The Outrage (2010), Beyond Outrage (2013) and Outrage Coda (2017).

Now on the third of his early trillogy of films - Violent Cop, Boliing Point and Sonatine

What a brilliant actor and director. You never know where the films are going and it is hard to get a lot of the nuances of Japanese gangster culture - and Boiling Point is certainly a bit nuts - but all highly recommended

While you're at it, Citizen Kane is on at 3pm this afternoon (Don't worry, I know you're a Gooner, it's not about Harry )

He has always been excellent. Had the second trilogy on VHS back in the early 90's.

Personal favourites from him are is version of Zatoichi, and Kikujiro.

Rory's Way - pleasant viewing.

incredible to think that is almost 80 years old.

Currently watching the euro 96 England v Spain match .
But when it finishes it's movie time ,and on ITV 4 it's Clint in fistful of dollars. That'll do for me tonight.

I was driving home from Preston yesterday and I heard Mayo and Kermode for the first time in what must be a couple of months, they were running through a list of films and they mentioned something about a documentary based around Australia beating American Samoa 31-0 in a football game. IIRC Kermode said he thought it was the best sports film he'd seen...so I hunted it down.
It's called Next Goal Wins and I have to confess, it's up there with Unbeatable and Dark Horse as the best sport related film I've seen, maybe even best documentary ever ?
Get it watched, you'll be glad you did ?

We watched Ocean's Eleven yesterday, daughters request as she has not seen it. I'd forgotten how truly awful Don Cheadle is in that film, the accent ??. With all of those big name actors in it, a big budget, why did no one just stop him and say no?

 

[Fish]

Anyone watched Radius, without giving anything away, as I’ve had it recommended, is it ok ?
