A film ruined by massively over acting from Jack Nickleson?
It was. He is a caricature of himself.

Nearly 10 years old, but that Taxi To The Dark Side is just shocking, unbelievable really.
Sat watching it, shaking my head!
Good call mate

I love that film, but the sequel is not so good.

I was going to ask about the sequel, is it still worth watching though ?

See if you can find Infernal Affairs, it's the Hong Kong film on which The Departed was based.
Much better film (IMHO)

Yes, if you lower your expectations.

Watched A Man for All Seasons last night.
Stupendous performance by Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More

Hidden Figures, based on the true story of three black women at NASA in the early 60's, loved it, 9 out of 10.

Some absolute stonkers on there.
Afghan Star, Man On Wire, Anvil all brilliant.
There's one called We Were Here which I've been meaning to watch for years but haven't plucked up the courage yet as it's supposed to be very moving.

Goat , a disturbing / sickening American college fraternity film. A kind of modern day Tom Brown's school days.

If you go into that film with a mindset that says 'it can't be worthy of all those nominations' then you find the film as you found it. Me and my Mrs? We just went to watch it without such expectations - and we thought it was fun, they were sweet, and the music was good. No plot worth more than a moments thought - but so what - that's not what we were looking for.
Jackie it isn't. But I don;t think I'd want to watch a Jackie every week.
Go to watch it to enjoy it. Don't go expecting the world or the new Rogers and Astaire. So WATCH
We had no pre-conceptions. We like musicals, well the wife does. It was just wrong from the very first scene. It was boring tosh. I'm allowed my opinion. Even if you think I'm wrong.

Gosh, I've not seen any of them. I checked out the "best" comedies. Then dismissed the lists as utter tosh.

Ha ha, some of those documentaries are the best films I've ever seen. Delve into the other lists and there's some gems, specially subtitled foreign films like Persepolis, City Of God, Secrets In Their Eyes (Argentinian version).

Don't think you're wrong at all - in fact the woman sat beside us last night watching LION agreed with you - just that we rather liked it. But said woman and us agreed we enjoyed LION - though Mrs Hogie and I more enjoyed the young Saroo part of the film in India - the older Saroo in Oz and finding his India home we found rather so-so - and though true - rather 'really?!'

I watched this via a dodgy stream on Kodi a couple of weeks ago. Picture quality was crap.
I got the gist of it but not being a big fan of "blood and guts" I wouldn't want to watch it in HD.
I know it was depicting war in all it's brutality, a lot of it was too much for my weak stomach.
Just a warning to those that haven't seen it yet.....
