LLL has just equalled the record for most Oscar nominations. :whistling:

Not seen it (yet) but it'll have to go some to be Arrival, which I thought was just remarkable.
 
The Blue Lamp (1950)
Classic Ealing crime drama directed by Leigh-on-sea's own Basil Dearden. Not quite as good as Pool of London which Dearden directed the following year, but still brilliant, and I loved seeing how parts of London I got to know well in the 1980s looked 30+ years earlier. 7/10
 
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back - 6/10 - Not the best and nowhere near as good as the first. The storyline is a little weak and takes you a while for it to all come together. Some good action scenes but that's about it.
 
Fabulous beasts and where to find them & The theory of Everything - Both featuring Eddie Redmayne. I went into both wanting to dislike them as everywhere I look recently Redmayne keeps popping up. He proved me completely wrong in both films as I thoroughly enjoyed them both and he showed he is a very good actor. 8/10 both films.
 
Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher & Debbie Reynolds. Documentary that was already due to be screened in 2017, filmed over the last couple of years, very interesting. 7.5/10
 
La La Land - sorry TUIB, it's absolutely fantastic. Wonderful music, great story - I'm at a loss to understand why you wouldn't like it. 10/10
 
Hacksaw Ridge - True story about a conscientious objector who served as a medic in WW2 and won the Medal of Honour.
Andrew Garfield plays Desmond Doss and does it very well. The war scenes are particularly bloody but Mel Gibson has directed a first rate film. 8/10
