Last Breath, true story about deep seas divers, you couldn’t lay me enough to do that 5/10
Black Bag, some decent stars in it, was just ok 5.5/10
Both films only 90 mins long which is a pleasant surprise many films are too long theses days, 2 hours is the sweet spot.

Have just watched the 1st 35 minutes of The Last Duel. Does it get any better or less tedious after this?

Dr. Strangelove (1964) - me and my lads are on a mission to watch every film on one of those scratch off posters and we chose this last week. I have to say it was the film I least looked forward to so far but it surprised me enormously and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter Sellers did amazingly well playing three characters but "Buck" stole the show. 8/10.

It's pretty difficult to categorise, and a little of its time, but I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Certainly has multiple surprises.
A couple of months ago I saw Iannucci and Coogan's stage version - that was brilliantly done, and Coogan played 4 roles!

There's LOTS of elements in "Dr Strangelove" that correlate to today's US political thinking.
It's easy to look past, though.
Brilliant filmDirty Harry what a great film made over 50years ago and still way above most of the films of today, Well done you feel lucky punk 9/10

Film night again last night, we watched Leon the Professional. Quality film with a good story and ending. Would have been too far fetched had they both escaped but as they didn't, I scored it 8/10.

South Pacific. Some great tunes and brought a tear to my eye at the end. Gorgeous Rossano Brazzi.
My Mam loved that stuff and if I am honest watching Mario Lanza films wasn't the worst thing to do on a Sunday afternoon either.

Narrow Margin (1990) - Hackman and the very lovely Anne Archer trying to avoid becoming dead.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
A very good golden oldie. Charley Varrick (1973) starring the wonderful Walter Matthau who leads a bank robbery gang. After a flawed raid shoot out (one fatality) they do escape with the loot. Later it transpires that the take was much higher than expected as the branch was the drop off for the Mafia. Joe Don Baker very good as the outfit's hulking enforcer, improbably named Molly, sent to recover the money.
The World Will Tremble.
A true story on how 2 prisoners escaped a Nazi death camp and provide the first eye witness account of the Holocaust.
Gripping but also dark/sad as you would expect from a film on the Holocaust.
Really good watch 9/10

One of Matthau's better films as it was different from his usual patterns.

Have you seen the directors cut, slightly disturbing the relationship I can see why it was trimmed down for the public.Film night again last night, we watched Leon the Professional.

No, I don’t believe I have. On the one I watched last night, she told him she loved him numerous times, asked him to kiss her, got pissed in a restaurant and ended up sharing a bed. Was there more to it?Have you seen the directors cut, slightly disturbing the relationship I can see why it was trimmed down for the public.
