[Blue in Munich]

Tom Hanks......A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood. Do not switch off after 20 mins. Stick with it. It's gonna stick in your mind forever.

No it will not. It is pleasant enough, but there are other films that have stuck with me. This will never be one of them.

Had Sicario saved for quite a while and watched it last night. I was afraid it would likely break my "feel good" rule.....it did. Good movie, but I wouldn't watch it again. Dang can Emily Blunt do a great US accent. My wife wants her to burn in he** for her Mary Poppins though....

Emily is THE best actress currently plying her trade in Hollywood at the moment........and stunning to watch as well. Phwoar!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watched Diamonds Are Forever again. How impressed I was with the feature car stunt with the Ford Mustang at the time (nearly 50 years ago! ), and how lame it is when compared with the driving & motorcycling stunts in the modern Bond films.

Love how it goes in on two wheels and comes out on the other two wheels.

Love how it goes in on two wheels and comes out on the other two wheels.

Yup, noticed that, and the lost wheel that bounces across the desert scene, but will only fit the vehicle that still has all 4 wheels on it...

Been on my hit list for a while, worth the watch?

It’s pleasant enough and worth a watch, but I don’t have it as a stay with you forever film.

Watched "A few good men" again yesterday. Brilliant film, and the court scene at the end is absolutely fantastic.
Jack Nicholson is superb as Jessup.
If you haven't seen it yet, I can fully recommend it.

One Way to Denmark. Nice easy watching.

Just watching and singing along to Grease - love it!

Arthur C Brown's hit song would suit you better

Had to Google that!! I'd rather go with Bruce's "Fire"

Mary Queen of Scots on Netflix - just don't - it's terrible - in fact, it's almost watchable because it's so bad in terms of casting, historical accuracy, appalling acting and terrible script.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Death of Stalin.......I loved it, modern take of Oh What a Lovely War.
My Mrs hated it I don't think she recovered from hearing Stalin with a Cockney accent

This is more of a books post in the films thread but anyone interested in the upcoming Dune film... The book is on Amazon's kindle daily deals today (only) so you can pick it up for 99p. Best sci-fi book ever, IMO.

Thank you for the heads up. Never read them and have been meaning to.

We caught Miss Congeniality again yesterday. Classic, great film.

Just watched it. Thought it was a bit Meh tbh. Gentle stuff but always hoped it was going to "get going" but it didn't.

watched The Wee Man last night - decent film about a notorious Glasgow gangster

 

[larmen]

Spider-Man Homecoming. It wasn’t on Disney plus and I missed it in my marvel binge, but it was on BBC now. I think only Hulk is missing for me to get the complete picture.

It's A Wonderful Life - a classic I've never actually seen and won't rush to see again
