How did he like them? I tried my son with similar and a good few hadn't aged well. Terminator was certainly not the absolute classic that I remembered, hammy lines, bad acting, dodgy effects. In the end, my suggestion of 'let's watch an 80's classic ' was met with a roll of the eyes and a departure from the room

Saw Horizon [the 3hr Costner western] last night.
Excellent stuff, music was brilliant.
Red Injuns were baddies for a change.
Three more parts to come in the next 18 months

Re-watched The Gentleman over the weekend, will always be one of my go to films when nothing else is on! Saw the series & enjoyed that just as much, just wish they were going to make more seasons

Terminator was a great film, but Terminator 2 was the better film. Perhaps you could try him with that. Having seen Terminator, it at least will give him background to this one.How did he like them?

Being John Malkovich - weird but watchable.
The Great Escaper - Michael Caine said he retired after this one as it had good reviews, and best to retire on a well reviewed film. Also Glenda Jacksons final film. Based on a true story and highly recommended.
Also worth watching is "The Directors" series on Sky. It actually opens your eyes to other films worth watching.

I watched a couple of films that do not stretch the mind this week
Lone Survivor based upon a true story about 4 marines stuck on a mountain in Taleban territory and them trying to escape being killed by them
Trigger Warning - about a a CIA agent on her fathers old mine and bar trying to work out how and why he died in the mine, fighting the baddies in the town.
Both good enough to watch the whole way through

Lone Survivor was decent if I remember correctly.

Ruthless. A B-grade revenge movie. The lead was ok but the detective was soooo bad it was funny.

Just stumbled on a sloppy old 1995 comedy romance/political drama type film The American President.
With Michael Douglas and Annette Bening and more of the old big stars.
Easy to watch enjoyable.

Watched that Phantom of the Open last night. A good watch. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to feel sorry for him or feel inspired by him though. Bit of both perhaps.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
The great escaper. Really enjoyed the film. Pierce Brosnan did a very similar film at the same time called the Last rifleman. I preferred the Great escaper.

The King’s Man.
A bit daft in places, but very enjoyable. Thought it was the best one out of the series.

We watched it a couple of days ago as it was raining again and thought it was the worst of the series! Great cast but a ridiculous storyline…
Starting WW1 as a means to Scottish independence?
Also 2 hrs and 10 minutes was just too long. Several times I thought it was coming to an end only for it to set off in another direction!
