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.

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). 

I would like to watch that but unfortunately it's not free on Youtube. There's enough free films to watch not to have to pay for anything.Watching For a Few Dollars More tonight

Edited February 1, 20215 yr by Underpants

I thought of 5 overnight David Lee didn't pick, King Kong (which he chose later), The Sting, Psycho, The Wizard of Oz and Back to the Future all up there for me

Gary Oldman

Greatest actor of all time in my opinion. Alan Rickman second.

Frustratingly, neither of them have been in a film that I’d shove in a top 5.

Close contenders - Batman, Leon, Churchill, Dracula, Die Hard for Rickman.

But I just feel Oldman has one absolute showstopper in him.

Probably needs to pinch a script off Tom Hank’s’ desk

Between yourself and a couple of others on here, I've added at least 10 more to the list, can't believe I missed out Life Of Brian, The Green Mile, Psycho (1960), The Sting, Pulp Fiction and Die Hard. 

As for Gary Oldman, brilliant actor but has made a lot of bad movies. For me his best performance was as Sid Vicious in the shite-fest that was Sid And Nancy.

I've not seen a film that I really enjoyed for years. You know, the one that after you see it you say that was brilliant.

Last film I really enjoyed was Joker, Joachim Phoenix was incredible in the lead role. 

Hated the Disney Star Wars Trilogy as they were too woke, too badly written, acted and directed and generally shite, even compared to the prequels.
