deane koontz Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Might give The Godfather another go since it's on iplayer. Probably tried to watch it 3/4 times before but I've fallen asleep on each occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted December 14, 2020 Members Share Posted December 14, 2020 FWIW is a cinematic masterpiece. It’s not a action film, or a thriller, it’s a brilliantly written mafia drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Best gangster films -didn't we have this recently ? - but anyway...2nd Goodfellas but best,Godfather 2......cinematic masterpiece is a good description. Best British gangster films.....3rd, Eastern Promises, & joint best, Get Carter with Michael Caine, or The Long Good Friday. I don't really think of Sexy Beast as a gangster film or it would be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i wanted to like it but couldn't get into it Gangs of New York was also hard to get into but did enjoy it in the end. Whilst i didn't particularly enjoy Mean Streets De Niro was ace in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted December 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Donnie Brasco is a cracker that doesn't get mentioned as often as it should. Think I might give it another watch now actually. Edited December 14, 2020 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Steejay Posted December 14, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2020 Some good filums being talked about here. IMO, Goodfellas, GF2, Untouchables top tier. GF1/3, Departed, LGF, Sexy Beast, Donnie Brasco all run close. Guy Ritchie can only wish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Pacino is brilliant in almost everything I’ve seen him in but if someone said that is his best role I’d struggle to really argue with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted December 22, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2020 38 minutes ago, Mr Grey said: Just watched the 5th installment of HP, Order of the Phoenix, mega wand off at the end, Emma Watson has started sprouting some tittage, Ron Weasley is still a soft ginger twat, no sign of scabbers, Siruis Black aka Gary Oldman is Brown bread, he was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange aka HBC, who also she murded Neville Longbottoms parents. Well worth a watch, I watched it with my INVISIBILITY CLOAK, a wand and a z scar on my forehead.

green genie Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 If you value your sanity do not get suckered into Prom Corden camping it up is less disturbing than Meryl Streep seducing bloke 30 years younger.
