Eternity, decent film.

Not sure what that has to do with the subject of the thread.

You suggest we allow posters to post whatever they like, wherever they like? If you are, why bother with threads at all? Just have one big open furum.

Anybody watched 1984 recently?

Sounds interesting;-)

Tell you what; I'll put it to the bossman*. I can’t say fairer than that. I'm a bloody nice chap, see? Even if I don't cycle everywhere.

*I wouldn't get my hopes up, though, to be honest.

Watched Memory this morning. Quite enjoyed it even though it has the awful Liam Neeson in it.

Re OUATITW- Leone had wanted Eastwood and Van Cleef to be part of the hitman posse who wait at the station in the opening scene, thus shocking the audience when they are both bumped off early in the film.

As that would have brought an end to the trilogy apparently (in the 4th film)

Anybody watched 1984 recently?

Over 40 yrs for me

It’s actually called “Sicario - the day of the Soldado” and it’s good - just a little short of the original imo.
Last Stop in Yuma County is also well worth a watch…we really enjoyed it. Some vibes of “No Country for Old Men” but largely set in a remote roadside diner/gas station.

Just watched this after reading your post and thoroughly enjoyed it

1 Good bad and ugly
2 Once upon a Time in the West
3 Few dollars more
4 Fist full of dollars.

Not much between them, there all great.

You could add 'Once upon a time in America' to that list. Different era but similar themes. Up there in my top 20.

Platoon - A great war/anti war film, Barnes & Elias are fantastic characters. A brutal 9/10.

"Blue Moon".

Difficult film to talk about because it doesn't essentially tell you too much about anything after the first 15 mins happen. In a way, that's not true, but it's extremely limited as it's just a character study in Tinsel Town. The question becomes; do you care about someone who's, seemingly, shallow on the surface which is the heavy-handed nod to the title ?

Ethan Hawke is good without being amazing. That said, I'm not sure why he wouldn't win an Oscar for a slightly above average acting performance, when he's established in Hollywood.

These types of films were ten-a-penny back in the day, so for Hollywood to come full circle doing a paint-by-numbers rendition?

For me this was... meh.

I didn’t have high expectations watching it, but it really surprised me how very good it was.

The Phoenician Scheme - those who are team Wes Anderson will try to rank it by its quirkiness percentage, the rest will just hate it!
Definitely better than Asteroid City, but The Grand Budapest Hotel was the peak.

Annual Die Hard watch so now it's officially Christmas

I thought the sequel was better than the original, though I think I'm in the minority there. The ones after number 2? Meh. They're flogging it to death; 5 films now, is it?

Started to watch 2 films and had to turn them both off, as they were terrible. The Wrecker with Harvey Keitel and Wildcat with Kate Beckinsale and Charles Dance. They were painful to watch and the acting came across as amateur. I honestly don't think I've seen worse films!!!
