[Pacman1903]

I watched Spaceballs today.

Its held in high regard in the comedy world but its nae as good as alot of Mel Brooks films on my opinion. Never has been either

First movie that I recall having Bill Pullman in.

Agree with you though Pac, its not a patch on Blazing Saddles.[/quote]

Classic

Theres also High Anxiety

Or Robin Hood Men In Tights

The latter being a highly under rated Mel Brooks film.

Sacha baron cohen's new film.

Thought it was quite good actually.

The 2nd scene at start is quite clever too.

Can't say that I've ever heard of High Anxiety (apart from the dying minutes at Pittodrie with a flimsy 1-0 lead) and it has been a number of years since I watched Robin Hood Men Tights but do recall that it was pretty amusing.
IIRC, it was Cary Elwes who played the part of the Arrow Happy Hero with a few cameo's thrown in, notably Patrick Stewart at the end as King Richard the Lionheart.

Mel brooks films are 90% absolute sh*te.

[Aldo1983]

I watched escape from NY for the millionth time after all the chat on here.

Never really thought about it but why do so many people know who he is when they live in a massive prison island with no communication to the outside world?

Still a great film. For every great film he done an utter pish one as well though.

Been waiting a while for a descent version of 13 hours in Benghazi to come out. Watched it mid-week and really enjoyed it, best war film I've watched in a long time.

One of the last and most dangerous American embassies left in Libya just after the uprising gets attacked by some disgruntled locals. It's up to Jim from the 'American Office' and his buddies to hold them off until help arrives.

Jim actually gives a really good performance. Going to watch it again tonight.

Make sure its the full uncut version then AA as its far more entertaining.
With regard to LW, the first two were excellent but it lost its street cred with the third and by the time they got to the fourth, the studio execs were basically just milking it......

Just watched Lethal Weapon, just to rid that remake trailer from my mind.

What a totally brilliant movie, they don't make them like that nowadays.

Rigggsss

Murtaughhhh

Shane Black who wrote the original LW has made Nice Guys that is out this week...
