Sorry i'm not trawling back through the whole thread but watched " a streetcat named Bob" last night. Found it on SKy Cinema, read a brief synopsis that it was a British film, based on a true story and thought it was fantastic. Really played with the emotions and left me questioning what's really important in life. Would highly recommend if you've got a spare hour and a half. If this has been discussed before i apologise.

Drewster - Lots of films get mentioned, discussed then mentioned again. People watch them at different times. I like the random aspect of this thread as it highlights a film that you may have missed upon release but is now available on tv via one of the many channels, platforms etc.

Watched "it follows", not a bad mild horror

Life, Animated, blimey, blew us all away, I knew it was gonna be good but it far exceeded our expectations.
I dare anyone to watch this and not shed a tear or two, utterly astounding story, an absolute masterpiece of film making.
The saying is bandied around a lot but this is a must watch film, one of those which will live with you for a long time.

Watched the trailor for this before work. Thanks for sharing as it looks like a very moving film.

Watched "it follows", not a bad mild horror

Saw that on an Odeon Screen Unseen, or should I say saw the first 20 minutes or so. One of the few films we've ever walked out on.

Just caught up with 'Whiplash'. About a jazz drum student and his relationship with his tutor. Superb film, best I've seen in a long time.

It was, J K Simmons was well worth his best supporting actor Oscar.

Tonight we saw The Hitman's Bodyguard. Two hours of typical Samuel L. Jackson mayhem; car chases, explosions, shootouts, one liners and some very good stunting on a Triumph Speed Triple. Won't challenge your intellect or bother the Oscar committee but 'twas a very enjoyable 2 hours.

It's good but as a drummer I found it quite bizarre, only the USA can make a drumming film into a NASCAR race

Watched Hell and High Water tonight, most excellent.

Took note of this and we watched and most enjoyed it...

Thank you!

You're welcome.

If you're up for something harder hitting and uncomfortable, watch Detroit. When you see that, you can better understand the reception we got at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.

Watched Magnificent 7 yesterday.
Not a classic,but very good.

Don't think Denzel does bad films.

He is one of those actors that elevates every film he is in. A genuine class act.

I've just watched an old classsic Top Gun.

Kelly McGillis was a stunner.

Him & Dicaprio are the best ever for me.

This is one we tried to get our eldest grandson to watch...
As a bit of an education as to what 'proper' films are all about...

Sadly, for a twelve year old, there wasn't enough CGI action for him...

One day I'll have him watching a Ray Harryhausen film so he knows what 'real' Sfx are all about...

 

[MegaSteve]

Him & Dicaprio are the best ever for me.

You are obviously still a boy ...

And, as yet, unaware of the true giants of cinema...
