Movies! The movie thread

Watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night, it was fun, campy and filled with surprises. The cameos of Bruce Dern and Luke Perry were especially nice to see. Both Leo and Brads actions at the end were particularly satisfying.

Agreed. And some of that same vernacular still isn't understood by many today.. I grew up in England, so I get the gist of the lingo. Here's a scene with an exchange using choice vernacular between the Marquis and the Duke..

Yes, I liked this one as well. Brad Pitt was particularly good to me.

I remember this one quite well. I had just moved to the United States from England the year before it released and was living in Charleston, South Carolina. I saw "To Live & Die in L.A." on the big screen at the mall movie complex - as everyone used to do in the 80s. It made quite an impression on me. I was still assimilating into southern Charleston culture which was nothing like L.A. at least from what I saw in the movie.

The KEEP - 1983
Michael Mann directed
The original Directors cut was nearly 4 hours, but Mann wont release it.
This movie is REALLY good. The Directors cut would tie loose ends together.

Watching it in pieces. Started out slow but it's picking up. Not bad, so far.

Will probably finish it later today.

Just finished it. It's good. I recommend it. Unexpected twist at the end.

It has its flaws, but I would argue it is better than what many consider to be his best - the Sixth Sense.

I really liked "Signs". It's one of my favorite M. Night movies.

Rob Roy was great, may be time for a re-watch as it has been a long time. Cannot imagine them making anything like that now, Spiderman 29 instead.

Certain parts of it were so funny to me I spat out some of my food. Moreover, I think the woman sitting next to me thought I was crazy. I did what I could to contain my laughter, as I guess we all do on an airplane, but boy did I get some odd locks towards the end of that inflight movie.. Some of the lines from this movie stuck with me for ages: "Ricky Bobby I am a racer's wife and I don't work", and "I got a Cougar on me", and "you gotta feel the car", and "I'm on fire".. Hilarious movie for me. I own the DVD.. "Shake and Bake"..

Watching it again now, it's on Sky movies.

I can no longer support Will Smith, his actions have soured me to his projects.

Watched this last night, thanks to my Firestick. Haven't seen it in years. Very good IMHO.

M5Rick · 04-15-2022, 03:18 PM

Watching this now with Lee,Cushing and Price all in it.

stein_325i · 04-17-2022, 07:12 AM

Finally got around to watching Fresh, it was very good. Very much kept me in suspense, especially after the first act.

BMW F22 · 04-17-2022, 08:00 PM

Watched “The House” with Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler on HBO. It’s a 2017 movie. Was pretty funny and entertaining.

Captain Blood · 04-17-2022, 09:01 PM

I watched Dune the other night.
I thought it was excellent!

Sure, I wanted more action. But it's science fiction, not an action movie. I never read the book, I read another one of his books that I hated when I was young. But I thought the music and visuals, the cinematography, were outstanding. I thought the lead actor, and the woman playing his mom, were excellent.And it had a good story.
