Memento - 8/10 - Very odd film but thoroughly enjoyable but also slightly confusing at times. You have to pay full attention to understand all that is going on but gripping throughout.

Really good film with the very underrated (at the time) Guy Peace.
Carrie-anne Moss plays a brilliant role as does Joe Pantoliano who was also superb in the Soprano's - actually, he kept it going for a while.

Not seen Dunkirk but I think it's Nolan's best work.

Another vote for Memento.A stylish thriller.

Wreck It Ralph (yet again). Great fun.

Years since I watched memento but the bit that always sticks in my mind and cracks me up is

  Spoiler:  

Him sitting on the toilet with the bottle of Whiskey (I think?), looking at the bottle and thinking "hmmm I don't feel drunk"

Remember you hadn't seen it until recently, though it does beg the question when do stop worrying about spoilers?

Girl on a train
Good thriller with enough of a plot to keep the interest going. 7 maybe 8 out of 10

I thought I'd posted The Zoookepper's Wife based on the true story of Poles protecting Jews during WW2. Nowhere near as intense as Schindler's List but in fairness I don't ever think that was the director's intention. Still a good film to remind us of the horrors that prevailed so an 8/10 for me. It also led me to wonder how the Second World War would have panned out if social media existed then, as today.

Very interesting thought. There was plenty of propaganda on both sides anyway, but I imagine in times of war there would be a lot of censorship, especially on the Nazi side. They wouldn't of wanted to let the everyday German know the horrors of the final solution as they may have lost support.

Una - Rooney Mara plays a damaged woman who, at 13, had a sexual relationship with a much older neighbour. Based on a play, and not much happens really. Fairly dull. 6/10

 

[Mad Cyril]

The Founder.

Biopic of Ray Kroc who took McDonalds from a single store to a global giant. Michael Keaton was excellent. 9/10

 

[EastStandBlue]

Icarus.

Essential viewing. It'll destroy what little faith you might've had left in professional sport, but essential viewing all the same.

One last conclusion to draw from it:

Dunkirk , must be film of the year .

 

[Pubey]

Dunkirk really is incredible. See it on the largest screen possible

 

[Jam_Man]

I saw Dunkirk on a smaller screen and I wasnt impressed.

Everything looked too small scale, too many scenes where there were only 3 or 4 soldiers in shot, when there were meant to be 350,000.

Didnt seem to catch the scale of the situation. Will giveit another go at some point.

Saw Dunkirk last night and thought it was alright, not the best but by far not the worst.

The scenes with the aircraft were excellent and how they've made everything look very realistic. Gets a bit confusing at times with all the different stories.

Harry Styles has a much bigger part than I expected. I think they've just given him that part to attract one direction fans in. But to be fair he wasn't bad as an actor.

Personally I think Hacksaw Ridge is a million times better as war films go, but it's still an alright film. One thing I would say is that if you have sensitive hearing be aware it is ****ing loud! I thought the old woman next to me was going to have a heart attack she jumped so high every time a loud bang went off.

Not a film to take the wife to then ?
