[Mad Cyril]

Working in the city I get far fewer Essex jokes made at my expense now we get an Essex Boys related gangster film released every two weeks.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Performance again last night.While I'd agree with Mad Cyril that it's a great film. for me it's half a gangster film and half a counter-culture film (for want of a better term).

Laputa: Castle In The Sky.

Never seen this Ghibli but picked it out this afternoon on Netflix. Cracking, darker than a lot of other Ghiblis. 8/10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Withnail and I again earlier .Is this perhaps the best British film/comedy in the last 50 years?

Gets my vote I think.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

If you can access Netflix watch the Two Popes excellent acting from Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Price nice ending which is football related

Probably the most overrated British film in 50 years. Not helped by the fact that Richard E Grant is unwatchable

I'm all Right Jack and Get Carter are right up there but not that nonsense.

On the contrary,it's one of those rare cult films that I liked from the very first time I saw it at the cinema on its release in 1987.Granted there's not much plot to speak of but the dialogue is cracking.

 

[Blueronron]

Loved "Lion King" the new version on Sky Cinema

Withnail is absolute utter genius.

Completely agree. Cant understand the appeal.

In the last 50 years - Shaun of the Dead.

In the last 50 years - Life of Brian

If you like Peter Sellers then have a watch of Never let Go, its on youtube.

Plays a straight part of a violent London gangster but with a Mancunian accent.

In the last 50 years - Life of Brian

That's on my lockdown list.

 

[The Big Dady]

Watched Gangster No.1 film last night on Film4, do not remember this film that was released in 2000, but enjoyed it.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw John Boorman's Point Blank again last night.One of my favourite thrillers.Though not a British film (obviously) and released in 1967 so it's just outside my 50 year rule.

Fancy some comedy tonight.Life of Brian I think.

 

[kaymac]

Cracking performance from Lee Marvin in Point Blank, not seen that film on tv for years.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw (1979´s) Life of Brian again last night.The perfect antidote to a lockdown and easily the best UK comedy film of the last 50 years.Aparently,A.Burgess used to watch it once a year.I can see why.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Revolver, Jason Stathem gangster thing, poor and over fixated with trying to out Taratino other films of similar topics.
I recorded it and watched it in 4 segments to see if it got better as it went on, BUT it didn't.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw The Third Man again last night.Has to be my favourite British film of all time.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

The Way, by Emilio Estevaz and featuring his father Martin Sheen.
Very good most of the time, some cliches.
Very little swearing, no violence or sex, just half a dozen main characters.
