Book of Eli - Denzel Washington - took two attempts to watch it all the way through - a bit of a duff Mad Max type film. Watchable. 4/10

 

Green Zone - Matt Damon - enjoyed it, always like films based out in Middle East, etc. 7/10

 

Planet 51 - was enjoying it til I nodded off, kids liked it - must be good. 6/10

 

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - see above - 6/10

 

Good Will Hunting - Matt Damon/Robin Williams - look, there was fook all else on this Saturday just gone, never seen it before - quite enjoyed - the scene were Robin Williams was going on about his late wife farting in bed had me in tears - half decent. Oh, and Minnie Driver looked far better than I can ever remember. 7/10

 

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - its Swedish so no famous actors/actresses - great thriller - didn't bother me that it was in subtitles great revenge scene on the pervy Probation Officer- looking forward to the 2nd in the trilogy in the next week or so - well worth the watch and highly recommended. 9/10

 

That's me, Jonathan Woss, over and out.

That is bad!

I watched the Disaster Artist not knowing anything about it, or The Room.  It's a great film in it's own right and an utterly bizarre story 

That's what kind of makes it so intriguing, the only other example I can think of is the film Ed Wood and Wood's 1950s sci-fi 'classic' Plan 9 From Outer Space. 

A classic scene from Samurai Cop 

 

The Dig.

I enjoyed it.

Just watched

THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND.

Absolutely brill. 

Haven't seen that but will check it out, have seen King Of New York though, a classic 90s Abel Ferrara film with a stellar cast including Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburn, David Caruso and Wesley Snipes. 

Goodfellas is very over rated

A decent film but wouldn’t watch it again.

Theres some great scenes but overall I found it a bit lame.

Zeit nicht meshugge Rudy? Goodfellas along with The Godfather, Scarface, Brighton Rock (1947), Angels With Dirty Faces and Casino are some of THE best gangster movies ever made.

I’m not letting this go

@Spider what would make your top fiveish films?

Just thought, why Spider doesn't like Goodfellas, that's the name of the barman that Tommy shot in the foot, then shot him dead after he told Tommy to go fuck himself, :lol:!!!

Hmmmm so your taste is decent, I can only assume Mrs Spider had her busters out and was distracting you 

In no particulate order...

1. Airplane

2. Bad Lieutenant (1992)

3. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

4. Blazing Saddles

5. The Room (2003)

 

Could list at least 100 easily

Joe Pesci being an annoying shouty twat puts a dampener on it for me, Ray Liotta is great in it.

Heat never gets much praise, I think that is a great film. If you don't like annoying shouty twats then what about Pacino in Heat? I dunno, Pacino is the star of Heat imo, he's just better at being a shouty twat than Pesci

Do I detect a slight hint of a disliking for Joe Pesci?, :lol:!!!. True he did get typecast in Goodfellas, Casino and Lethal Weapon 3 & 4 to name but a few films. 

Heat is definately a classic and surprisingly one a few occasions that Pacino and De Niro starred in a film together. (The other was Godfather II but not in the same scenes).

Watched an interesting film with Pacino in recently, Cruising directed by William 'The Exorcist' Friedkin.

Pacino plays a cop that goes undercover in the New York gay scene in the late 70s to catch a serial killer (Supposedly based on the real life 'Body in the bag' killings).

Useless factoid, one of the actors who played a medical practitioner in The Exorcist was later convicted of the murder of a gay man).

Pesci is absolutely brilliant in everything I’ve seen him in.

Hes shouty because he’s playing a real life character

Tell you what that Kevin McAllister was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Pesci tried to break into his house in Home Alone, so he ordered a hit on him in Goodfellas and Casino, pmsl!!!

The only time we’d have grease in common is for use as a late night lubricant.

Ryan Gosling is a most handsome gentleman
