O/T - Films

Anyone into horrors? Loved Midsommer on the big screen - like a dreadful, unfolding trip in sunshine.

Also, a recent horror comedy Hide & Seek - all good fun but then the final sequence - I was howling with laughter in the cinema.

Kids film: Secret Life of Pets 2. For the gruff old ex-US Services guard dog alone..

Re: Kids films, have you seen 'Over the Hedge'? Brilliant.

Agree. One of the best films in recent years.

Agree about Midsommar. Cracking film. Same director's Hereditary is very good. Anybody seen Oscar nominated Parasite ? Got great reviews but don't know whether i fancy a sub-titled film.

being an oldie I prefer 40s and 50s films but one of the recent ones I saw and enjoyed was Bridge Of Spies

Angels with dirty faces.....absolute classic with Cagney at his best.

A couple of years old but I really enjoyed "The Infiltrator". It's based on a true story of an undercover customs agent from the early 80s who takes down Pablo Escobars money laundering exercise. As dangerous jobs go it must have been one of the most dangerous back then.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I really did enjoy it.

Just watched The Irishman, a very lengthy film. Big big cast as you'd expect to play all the baddies in the film
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and a decent appearance for the up and coming English actor Stephen Graham, he seems to be everywhere on the TV and screen of late. Bet he really enjoyed that with such great actors.

The film - It's another one of those bygone days all about the Mafia and one simple truck driver who turns into a hitman for the mob. Brings into it the big Union man Jimmy Hoffa from the 50' @ 60's. The way they've portrayed him shows just how powerful union money was.

As for the Kennedys it's briefly covered how the Mafia disposed of J F Kennedy in Texas etc. Make sure you've put a lot of time to one side to see this one.
