O/T Have you watched any good films recently?

[garyp1803]

I've watched the Prisoners, Captain Phillips and The place beyond the pines, I thought they were all cracking films and are well worth watching.

Are there any decent films you've watched recently?

[Whatsmore]

NO ;D ;D ;D sorry gary the drinking and the sunshine have got me in a very giddy mood

[JimmyJazz64]

Twenty Years a Slave probably the best one I've seen recently

[Whatsmore]

Twenty Years a Slave probably the best one I've seen recently
It was a great film twenty years a slave jimmy!

[JimmyJazz64]

Very disturbing though campo. Uncomfortable to watch

[danm1992]

I've been watching a lot of old ones lately.

I was absolutely mesmerized by The Deer Hunter.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest is a brilliant one.

I saw Dr Strangelove last night and been chuckling all day over this. - view external link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T2uBeiNXAo)

[JimmyJazz64]

Never seen that film danm but that clip is brilliant. Gonna have to watch it

[leebwfc]

Just a couple, not new ones but...

Dead man's shoes - fantastic film, could watch it over and over. Paddy Considine is amazing in this movie.

District 9 - fantastic ironic story using aliens to tell story of apartheid and greed. - view external link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58ylrJ0cH2w)

[bwfcforever]

[bwfcforever]

[gardsPNE]

Can concur bwfc its a good un. A recent one I watched is Lawless which is a cracker. Reminds me of our Dingles those Hillbillies ;D. I said this to the wife who incidently is from Burnley and I got a thick ear for my troubles ;D

[danm1992]

I want to watch one of my favourites Midnight Express soon, as I'm off to Turkey in September.

I hope it puts me in the mood.

[lord_hooray]

watched Anchorman 2 last night.


Just thought I would let you know

[Whatsmore]

any good though lord I fancy that one

[lord_hooray]

For me it was a bit hit and miss, some of it had me laughing out loud , but most of Steve Carell's bits didn't work really . Worth a watch if you liked the first one, the jokes are different but the same if you know what I mean. I liked it but wished it was better.

[leebwfc]

Would have been word for word my own review that lord! Liked it though

Gonna give that "bronx tale" a go tonight as suggested

[klassnic]

yes Kill bill and hang the culprit

[bwfcforever]

lee let me know what you thought mate

[itsintheblood]

With all this phooking rain about.

Watched Captain Philipps,very good but it didn't help with the Subtitles, being in Chinese.

Also watched, Alpha Pappa, Steve Coogan, laugh a minute, :D

lee let me know what you thought mate[/quote]

Was really good, fantastic film. Had a very real feel to it like the sopranos's.

Cheers for the recommend, got it saved in my planner so will watch again soon, usually miss loads first time round

[lord_hooray]

Watched Gravity, was ok but probably would have been better in 3D, also The Guard, a comedy, it was quite good really, a bit like Filth

[garyp1803]

I also watched A Bronx Tale, I thought it was a cracking film. Great recommendation Bwfcforever.

[dunc_bwfc]

The three stooges, no not eddie phil & doogie but the picture from 2012 thought they did a good job of curly larry & moe & a funny 90 mins of slapstick, used to enjoy the old stooges

[JimmyJazz64]

"Life Of A King"

Black man. Ex-con. Teaches badass kids to play chess. Etc, etc, etc

A bit of a predictable film but a very good "feel good" movie.

[danm1992]

I started watching Lord of the Rings the other day.

I'm only half way in as I prefer to watch films in tiny bits.

Struggling to get into it. Might not be my sorta thing. Any LOTR fans?

[JimmyJazz64]

Nope. Can't stand them. I've tried, I really have but I just don't get them.

Watched "Woman In Black" the other night. Saw it at the cinema when it first came out and it scared the fkin sh1te out of me. Nowehere near as good on TV but still a brilliant film!!! Well worth seeing and can't wait for the sequel which is currently being filmed

[referee_its_offside]

Anyone here seen Sunshine on Leith?
It's a musical set to the music of The Proclaimers.

I very much enjoyed it (despite it's anti-English overtones)

Hadn't realised until recently that the song has been adopted by Hibernian fans as their club song. There's a great clip on You Tube showing them singing it after winning the Scottish Cup Final a few years ago
