Films you've watched recently.

Bit obvious I know but we watched Contagion the other night, what an eye opener! Now I understand where the authorities got all their Coronavirus ideas from. Its all in there, lock-downs, social distancing, manic hand-washing, the lot!

Please allow me to put a word in for Lionel Shriver's "The Mandibles." She even predicted the loo-roll shortages. :Winking:
 
Saw Lindsay Anderson's"O Lucky Man" again last night.If anything it was more cynical than I remembered.Always loved AlanPrice's music for this.Dawned on me that it must have been about Helen Mirren's first film too.

Even had the manic denier offical, a femail Trump if you like.
 
Saw Scorsese's Mean Streets again last night .Always loved the way the soundtrack is dovetailed into the action scenes.Don't think I've ever seen De Niro in a better role.

I mentioned that last year. De Niro is absolutely brilliant in it. Totally believable character. Many of us have come across a person that would beg, steal, borrow and bare face lie, and make false promises. I love American mafia films. I would say this is my third favourite after Godfather 1 and 2. Once again, the right actors for the right parts. Great film.
 
Enjoyed seeing The History Boys again last night.I was lucky enough to see this at the NT back in the day.Always enjoyed Alan Bennett's stuff for stage or screen.Same cast for the film.Richard Griffiths and Frances De la Tour were superb in both.As was the young Richard Cordon.
