Watched Barbie with my very wise 9 year old grandaughter this afternoon. We agreed it's the best film in the world - ever!
What film did you watch last night?

A few days ago we watched a1935 version of a Christmas Carol with Seymour Hicks as Scrooge.
It wasn't much good.

I did Chicken Run first lol. VMF is great, and there are lots of little references to other films in to try and spot.

The Quatermass Experiment
Quartermass and the Pit
1958 scary Alien films by the BBC. Remember Quatermass and the Pit watched it behind the sofa in six episodes.
Look out it’s behind you!

I remember watching the film of 'Quatermass & The Pit' as a kid & being scared to hell by it
It was the same for 'Night Of The Demon' (which was sampled by Kate Bush, for, was it... 'Hounds Of Love'?)

Watched a few over the past few days.
The bad:
F9- gave up after about fifteen minutes. There are lots of dumb stupid action movies that are well-made and are a great watch. This is just dumb and stupid. Lots of characters you're supposed to remember from the previous ones but don't, and don't care, precious little actual explanation of who's doing what and why, and the action sequences haven't so much jumped the shark but jumped the shark on another shark.
Everything else (in no particular order)
Jurassic World Dominion: Watchably daft, with the same flaws as most of the recent predecessors- overkill on the peril, chucking stuff at the viewer like a 50s 3D movie, you know what's going to happen from about thirty seconds in…but it does get the old Neill/Dern/Goldblum gang back together, which is nice.
Everything Everywhere At Once: Bonkers, but brilliant. Plaudits well deserved.
The Green Mile: Despite buying the novel in serial form when it was published, and loving it, the rave reviews the film got on release, and it's only 25 years old…not seen it before. Superb. Modern classic.
Candyman (2021): saw the original on release, not seen it (or any of the sequels) since, but it was terrific and really stuck in the memory (fittingly). This wasn't quite that good, because sequel, but still superb. RIP Tony Todd.
The Naked Gun: Put on film. Start laughing. Continue laughing until film ends.
Gladiator: Imperious, as ever.
Airplane!: It's a classic spoof of disaster movies, but that's not important right now.
