What film did you watch last night?

[John the Monkey]

Death Race 2000.

Bobbins.

 

[Doyleyburger]

Introduced my daughter to harry and the hendersons. Brought back some childhood memories and she loved it

Scored an 8/10 just for the nostalgic value

 

[Maverick Goose]

DOA....Holly Valance hubba hubba, loadsa explosions,epic fight scenes-a true piece of cinematic art!

 

[AndyRM]

Jeebus, DOA, I'd almost completely forgotten about that disaster.

You know your film is terrible when Dennis Rodman turns down a role that was written for him!

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Now, Voyager.

Brilliant. Especially the realistic and life-like heart attack scene.

 

[Profpointy]

watched "rise of the footsoldier". A bleak, very violent, very very sweary british gangster film, based on fact apparently. Outstanding, particularly the acting and dialogue. And I speak as someone who doesn't like violent films as a rule nor (gratuitous) swearing. Here it was all in context and highly believable. A million miles from the romanticised gangsters of the Godfather or Goodfelas, great though these may be as cinema

 

[Tin Pot]

A Walk Among The Tombstones was great.

And I'm not a fan of gruesome or Neeson.

 

[swee'pea99]

Julie & Julia - enjoyable in a gentle, lo-impact sort of a way. Interesting to see Meryl Streep playing a fluffy, happy-go-lucky sort of role, in contrast to her usual icy intensity. Post-war Paris was very well evoked....and the food looked great!

Finally got round to watching Before Sunrise - beautiful film. I have Before Sunset lined up for tonight.

Footsoldier is a definite stand out in that genre. Properly good and doesn't come across as the fantasies of someone who read a story about hooliganism once.

The Firm and I.D. will always have the top two spots, but Footsoldier is a close third. I'd recommend both if you've not seen them.

 

[Cathryn]

The new 'Flashdance'. It was awful.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Jeremiah Johnson. Robert Redford in a hobo beard, killing dozens of native Americans, on a kill-or-be-killed basis. Apparently based on a true story.

 

[postman]

A Prayer for the dying.

 

[Wafer]

Not last night, still watching it now, Gran Torino, brilliant film.

 

[Profpointy]

Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis, highly under rated film, for me its an excellent film....

Agree !

A brave thing to try - a remake of Fistfull of Dollars - which is a masterpiece and, as any fule no, Dollars is a remake of Youjimbo - another masterpiece from Kurosawa, arguably the director with a higher "masterpiece count" than anyone. Ironically Youjimbo, a samurai film, is itself based on a cowboy story.

Anyhow Last Man Standing is very good indeed even in comparison with the two Greats above
