What film did you watch last night?

[gbb]

That's worth knowing - I read The Chinaman years ago and didn't know this was an adaptation. Thanks.

Fabulous film (The Foreigner) would watch it again in a heartbeat

Two films last night


"The Prestige" : Christopher Nolan films usually tick boxes, but like Tenet this one was a bit of a struggle.
...

I find The Prestige one his better films and possibly the only one of his i've wanted to watch again and again. Tenet, on the other hand...

Interstellar is one I've watched multiple times. The concept of the tesseract seems clumsy, but the impact of time dilation on the characters is so well portrayed.. it really draws me to that film.

Loved Inception too, but have only seen it in dvd quality so recently grabbed a bluray on sale on Amazon.

I've seen most of Nolans films numerous times...well Oppenheimer only once at the cinema and although I thought it was ok I'm in no rush to see it again.
Tenet I've grown to love,first time I watched it i think maybe I was trying to hard to understand it,second and third time I liked and then loved it.Maybe that's it,as in its gorgeous to look at but not so much try and work out..😁
Inception is probably my favourite Nolan film never disappoints

Late Night with the Devil - 9/10

A 70s late night talk show goes badly wrong. Funny, silly, clever and horrifying all at once.

My only real criticisms are that it was filmed in 16:9 and on digital.

The new Deadpool trailer is out. It's NSFW and looks like a lot of fun...

I can't wait for this, apparently Hugh Jackson agreed to do it provided it doesn't mess with the events of 'Logan' as he was really happy how that film finished Wolverine's story.

And bets are they do go off to build a snowman ⛄ lol

We’ve been seeing to the kids‘ education.

Started with The Goonies, and now working our way through the Back To The Future films (one left to watch).

Next up possibly ET, Indiana Jones (1-3 only, Crystal Skull was rubbish), Flight of the Navigator, maybe Short Circuit.

Then not sure what. Suggestions?

The kids are loving the ones we’ve watched so far. They’re too young for Jaws, by the way.

Dredging up this subthread, I'd second the Back To The Future films as being amongst my kids' favourites. They're 10- and 7-year old boys.
ET and Ghostbusters freaked my youngest out a bit.
Eldest loved Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Eldest has read (and loved) The Princess Bride (on my recommendation), but we've not got round to watching it together yet. It's on ITVX btw.
Furthermore, I'd recommend Home Alone (and ...2), and Elf (in season), and Jumanji.

Most of the film is shot in 4:3 giving it the 70s vibe....I think only the the last half hour is different ?
Anyway I loved it...I think David Dastmalchian was made for the part,love him !

Ah, it may have been the screen I was watching it on then forcing it into the wrong ratio.

Damn.

Still, it means I can watch it "properly" again.

I finally got around to watching Schindler's list. The film was only made 31 years ago, but what a great film.

Alexander (2004)

Very disappointed. The chronology is terrible and the movie has no flow.

 

[cougie uk]

Jurassic World - Dominion - pretty rubbish tbh. A good smattering of british comics as the minions running the big bad company were the highlight.

Mr Jones last night on iPlayer. Recommended.

I had never heard of it. I might watch that tonight.

Fail Safe
1964 b/w nuclear war thriller by Sidney Lumet. A lesser known companion piece to Dr Strangelove.

Tonight I have the option to see Eastern Front horrific war movie Come And See. Has anyone seen this? Did you have traumatic nightmares? Did you seek councelling?

"Fail Safe" is a masterpiece rather unfairly overshadowed by the similar plot-wise Dr Strangelove which came out at the same time. For me, Fail Safe is the better film
