Watched Any Good Films Lately?

WHOA, this looks good, love this sort of film, got anymore like this??

 

Well....................

For gritty British urban realism go with Nil By Mouth (not a feel good movie though).
For great British character films look no further than Last Orders.
For great revenge movies I'll offer two from the US - The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and The Unforgiven.

 

1984....................


This was Richard Burtons last film and it's hard to believe that he died 30 years ago

 

Won't be on this thread for a little while as I have started watching 'The Sopranos' box set again, great stuff, loved James Gandolfini.

 

Did you ever get into NYPD Blue?

 

It's ruddy depressing that film, I think the book is much more intelligent.

 

No, Is it any good?

 

It is certainly not a feel good date movie!
Different medium though. To me it was a visual treat. A book will always be more cerebral as it's not laid on a plate for you. The exception for me are the George Smiley tales - I just couldn't get on with Le Carres writing.

Right up there with the very best. It (much like the Sopranos) is much more about the characters than the stories in the episodes.

 

@longk This looks good, why isn't there a box set of the series?

 

This was on last Christmas and I say down to watch it, my wife said she would also like to watch it, which I thought strange. About 5 minutes in she told me she didn't want watch as she thought it was programme about celebrities losing weight and not a war film

I watched safe house starting Denzel Washington last night, I thought it was ok.

There are - I have a few.

I'm laying off the films this week and cramming in all ten episodes of The Bridge...............

As Titanic is on the telly and it is a film then I am going to watch that for the next few hours,even though I have seen it again and again and again lol and I so love Leo

 

I enjoyed World War Z. Although a proper ending would have been nice.

The best zombie movie ever was Peter Jacksons (he of the Lord Of The Rings fame) Braindead...................

 

Did you see 'The Game' last night. M.Douglas.
That was some strange old film that was!
