What film did you watch last night?

[Electric_Andy]

Walk the line, again. Must change the DVD stock. Get better TV aerial for Vanessa too

I also had sketchy reception, i replaced the aerial for a proper one and downloaded an app that tells you which direction to point it. Mine was previously pointing in the wrong direction

No Country For Old Men (again) the wife is still disappointed with the ending.

We have a local Strava segment called "No Country For Old Legs" that lives up to its name.

We also watched "Good Vibrations" on BBC - an account of Terri Hooley, a DJ, record shop proprietor and impresario who is a central figure in Belfast's punk rock scene in the 70s. This is a near perfect masterpiece of a film. Fantastic acting from Richard Dormer as Hooley and also a superb Jodie Whitaker as his wife, ably supported by an excellent cast, including a host of presumably local non-actors as the various punk rockers. This is an astonishingly good film, with perfect cast, superb craftsmanship conjuring up a time and a place...

I have a friend coming round for a meal tonight. That sounds like something we would enjoy on post-meal TV. It is available on iPlayer for another 8 days.

I assume that is a typo? (Unless there is a spoof film that I haven't heard of!)

I might watch that again sometime. I have watched it twice already but it has been a while since the last time and it is a good film.

Yes it was a typo, but could have been about Yorkshire cycling for old men.

A good watch.

Although this probably doesn't belong in this thread, "The Sixth Commandment" currently on BBC and iplayer is excellent and a true story.

Quadrophenia.

A bit crap really. Seeing a 1979 Capri mk2 in the 60s was almost as weird as seeing Lesley Ash without a trout pout.

3/10. It hasn't aged well.

Are you mad, it's got Toyah Wilcox in it?

Oppenheimer....wow ! Ok I'm obviously going to be a bit biased as love Nolans films but this was slightly different for me.Moving away for his usual messing.with time.Stunnimg and harrowing to watch...i shed a tear or two at the horror of it,Im soft I can cry at films ! Definitely worth almost three hours of your time,the soundtrack is to die for too, literally 😁

We watched it this evening. Yes - an entertaining film. Informative too - I didn't know the history of punk in Northern Ireland.

Conspiracy.
Injured US army vet Val Kilmer uncoveres dark conspiracy in small Texas town. A poor remake of Hollywood classic Bad Day at Black Rock. Also takes inspiration from Dukes of Hazzard and Smokey and the Bandit.

No Country For Old Men (again) the wife is still disappointed with the ending.

I didn’t like the ending the first time I watched it because it’s so unusual for a film to just fade away. But on second viewing it is perfect.
Who wants a happy ending, life isn’t like that. So he just retires and leaves the problem for someone else to deal with.

October Sky - A very good easy to watch drama. Quite old now but set in 50's so doesn't really show

Not far off a10/10 film

I'd assumed this was about the Beach Boys. I might still watch it though, given this glowing review. (needs more Emily Blunt, but hey ... )
