I saw this yesterday at The Curzon Bloomsbury and it was dreadful!

 

[Rob Noxious]

'Belfast' - quite moving. Set at the start of 'The Troubles' and seen through the eyes of nine year old Buddy just when it all starts hotting up in a mainly Protestant area of the city. Some great performances, not least from young Jude Hill, who plays Buddy. Also, a fine soundtrack featuring the music of a former resident of East Belfast, George Ivan Morrison.

Munich - The edge of war (Netflix) Stars George Mackay (1917) and Jeremy Irons. Set in Munich, it follows the discussions between Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler with a sub plot of Mackay trying to convince Irons that Hitler is not to be believed. Very well acted and very tense all the way through. Based on a Novel by Robert Harris. 8/10

Good film and cast.

My Son (Amazon Prime). Great cast (James McAvoy and Claire Foy) and equally stunning filming location (Highlands)?

Edge of your seat stuff, you know when you're watching a great film when your heart is pounding.

Great film 8/10

"Belfast" a fabulous 5 star film (miss it at your peril)

 

[BALDY]

"Nightmare Alley" (Neo Noir) which was inspired by "Double Indemnity" and "Freaks".....A new release NOT to be missed.

Kill Bill: Vol 2 (2004) - the tomb scene still makes uncomfortable viewing

I once saw both volumes out in a double bill----I love Tarintino's films

 

[Swiss Tony]

Twelve angry men,one of my all time favourites.

 

[blueblueblue]

Copshop (Amazon).

The plot, it's set in America, they all have guns and kill each other.......... THE END.

Dug out Orson Wells Macbeth again last night.Easy to see where Joel Cohen got his inspiration for his recent version from.

Off to see Belfast on Wed.

That went straight to streaming here without a cinema release.Sad but the way of the world I suppose.

Not a film, but I guess a series of mini films I've seen a few times over and over

'Band of brothers' .. a superb watch!

Superb series. The barrage in Bastogne was harrowing.

'Band of brothers' .. a superb watch!

Band of Brothers is still revolutionary today, 20 years after it was first broadcast, in my view. Some fantastic cinematography and acting, not least from some real British talent. Marc Warren's portrayal of Pvt. Albert Blithe losing his sight from PTSD was superb.

 

[Napster]

Marc Warren's portrayal of Pvt. Albert Blithe losing his sight from PTSD was superb.

He was great against Swansea as well.

back to the thread:

Along came a spider: - cant believe I missed this one - classic 90s thriller. Lots of twists even if the tech is a bit outdated now. 8/10
House- terrible, dated, didnt finish

There are some great follow up vids on youtube for those that like the Band of Brothers, including the actors visiting the sites with the vets.

They made a huge faux pas claiming Albert Blithe died of his wounds. Although in hospital for over a year he actually recovered and went on to fight in the Korean war and received a silver star and 2? bronze stars as well as more purple hearts. He ended up as a military adviser.

Saw Belfast earlier.Intensly moving .Loved Van's stuff, especially, on the soundtrack.Should walk away with a few Baftas including one for Judi Dench.
