Thought this was the movie thread

[Sydney_Iron]

"3 episodes into the The Responder. stars Martin Freeman who also produces it, quite dark and gritty. a Liverpool cop with mental health issues, starts slow but worth a watch, won an Emmy i believe and Freeman is very good in this. finished season 2 of Blue lights, which i have to say was superb, also from the BBC, they may have gone a bit woke but still seem able to make some very good TV drama which these 2 are."

Just watched Back to Black. I was on the verge of tears several times. So tragic. Great performances all around. 8/10

[Manuel]

"Short - Yep I'd go along with that review, was good to see the old faces again, not to mention the soundtrack. The original BHC in the 80's was huge IIRC."

zico 2:53 Sat Jun 15 I’ve just watched the trailer for this and already I’ve got a tear in me eye…..all because Caine’s accent slightly reminded me of my late grandad’s accent in his older years…I love hearing that accent and it’s nearly all but gone…..fucking gutted…..but would it have gone sooner had we lost that war…..

Axel F. Comfort food. But in a good way. It certainly ain't reinventing the wheel. Leave your brain at the door. And enjoy it for what it is.

[Takashi Miike]

"she made a couple of great films with george segal, great chemistry between the two and really likable characters. something modern directors don't seem to think is important. It's a big reason why so much modern shit is unwatchable"

[zico]

"Cough, ha ha...... Caine doesn't get the credit he deserves, he is a top actor and I have rarely seen him in a bad film. That was Glenda Jackson's last film before she sadly passed away a short time later. A bit of trivia - ""Glenda Jackson revealed that she was approached by the director Melvin Frank for the film A Touch of Class after appearing on The Morecambe & Wise Show in 1971, in the ""Antony and Cleopatra"" sketch. After her role in this film won her an Oscar, Eric Morecambe sent her a telegram reading, ""Stick with us and we will get you another one""."

[Manuel]

"Yea it's a really good watchable film, one of them that you know you will like before you even start watching it. Fwiw, I thought Glenda Jackson stole the show with her performance, was incredible."

[Far Cough]

Was that the one with Steve McQueen on a motorbike?

[Ron Greensward]

Zico (spell check!)

[Ron Greensward]

"Zircon. Agreed, had to watch it last week for obvious reasons. Michael Caine’s performance was outstanding but especially so in the non speaking shots when he was remembering the events of D day. You could just see the pain in his eyes. Terrific."

[zico]

The Great Escaper with Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson on Netflix is just a wonderful film.

"With regard to documenting wars/conflict, I'm not entirely sure The Killing Fields could ever be bettered."

Swiss. 5:37 Fri Jun 14 Yeah that’s another good oldie I’ll check out Winnie the Pooh. Seems a lot of slasher/horror films coming out

[chim chim cha boo]

"Jaan Kenbrovin 3:58 Sat Jun 8 I think what I loved about Civil War was how they never knew how anyone would react when they got to a new place other than the people fighting wanting them (on the whole) to document them. Are they fighting for some kind of cause or is it an open invitation for people who have always wanted to shoot people? I loved the scene with the psycho wearing red plastic glasses and a truck full of dead bodies asking where the journalists were from, for instance."

"DukeofDevo 10:49 Wed Jun 12 Cheers mate, saw Under Fire years ago but I think I may give it a watch again. As for Civil War, Rolling Stone said 'it's not a documentary YET'. Films are very subjective and we all have our different tastes. I've seen films I've thought were shit then watched them again and loved them. A lot depends on the mood you're in when you see them. Also, contrary fuckers like us West Ham fans seem to love to slaughter films that some people rave about. I just like to point at a film I've enjoyed on here amongst my peers. I've enjoyed loads of stuff recommended on here and the TV thread. I would never take it personally if people think something I've enjoyed is shit. Threads like this are important more than ever because in the rush to deliver content between Netflix and the rest a LOT of REALLY shit films and documentaries are being made."

Duke Of this genre I would say Oliver Stone’s Salvador takes so beating. On another subject - Wiinnie The Pooh - Blood and Honey 2 . Masterpiece

[DukeofDevo]

chim chim cha boo 1:15 Thu Jun 6 On the subject of Civil War and war photography; there’s a good old Nick Nolte film called Under Fire worth watching. Civil War while I enjoyed it I wondered why it’s been made now when the country and world has never been so divided!

[Swiss.]

Hit Man is OK. Under Paris - Ridiculous but great fun

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"chim chim cha boo 1:11 Thu Jun 6 I loved the premise. Which is why I looked forward to it. It was the execution of it I thought was garbage. The characters were poor and some of the scenes didn't make sense at all. It was like Garland tried to copy apocalypse now, but didn't bother with the all the things that made that one of the very best movies ever."

[Alfs]

Hit Man lands on Netflix tomorrow. It's had very good reviews.

[chim chim cha boo]

"Jaan Kenbrovin 12:34 Sat Jun 1 I couldn't disagree more about Civil War, but there again I am a photographer who when doing my photography diploma at the Cass in Whitechapel met war photographers like Don McCullin and thought fuck that shit, I'm sticking to portraiture! Maybe the young photographer felt a bit tacked on but I loved that film. If the Ukraine is like that, and it is, God save them."
