I've just started watching all of the Bond films in order. Did From Russia With Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball this week. I think they're all pretty good overall, but each one has some embarrassingly bad filmmaking that would never get in a film nowadays. Especially some of the action sequences. They seem to have had an obsession in chase scenes with speeding up the footage to almost Benny Hill levels.

And yeah, they're basically the most anti Me Too films of all time. Let's just say if James Bond was a real person, he'd probably be on trial for historic sex crimes right now.

Every Star Wars film
Every Comic book film
Every James Bond film.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, pointless film.

Tarantino is yesterdays man, he doesn't seem to realise it though

I've not been back to see them — I prefer to keep the memories. I suspect I'd be embarrassed by some of them now.

Not sure how Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan to the Oscar that year.

It was bought so Harvey could continue.......

3 movies in that category were better.

A couple of years back it seemed everyone was talking about LaLa land and the shape of water.

Ended up watching both, kind of. The first was so poor I got up and left after 15mins (and I don't mind a musical every now and then) and the other seemed to be some kind of fish bestiality thing part disguised as female empowerment. At least Daryl Hannah was part human.
