Sorry Sith, to clarify anything I post, all films I mention have been watched at home, like GP IMm an infrequent cinema goer, maybe 10 times since Star Wars

Yes, I didn't mean for it to be restricted to cinema only.
So, really, we need to find a copy of Ballerina and watch that before we watch #4. Good to know.Quote:

Been to the theatre about a dozen times this year but the only film I’ve seen ( at the cinema) was ‘Wonka’ which was okay(ish). 6.5/10.
Went to see ‘Sonic 3’ with the grandchildren the year before. Thought it was probably the worst film I’d ever sat through and understood nothing that was happening but the four of them seemed to enjoy it which I guess was the ‘acid test’.
All time favourite film? ‘Life is Beautiful’. Watch it at home…you’ll laugh, and cry…a lot!
Life is Beautiful is definitely one of those you don't watch then forget.Quote:

Actually, just checked, must have been ‘Sonic 2’…I’ll be moving heaven and earth to avoid ‘Sonic 3’ and whatever drugs the creators seem to be on.Quote:

Maybe a bit of a tenuous addition this…but I went to see Sebastian Faulk’s ‘Birdsong’ at Nottingham Theatre Royal yesterday afternoon. It’s also a film…released about 12 years ago with Eddie Redmayne.
Highly recommended and incredibly moving three hours which reduced my wife to tears - never good - as it also did a very fit looking elderly gentleman in front of us who I took to have probably experienced some of the war/trench scenes (obviously not from WW1) first hand.
With Remembrance Day approaching I believe there really is a case for showing such films, which recreate the utter horror and futility of war, on the day itself. Would, imo, have far greater impact than much of the ritual that gets repeated every November.
First ten minutes of Saving Private Ryan should be compulsory viewing in history lessons around armistice dayQuote:
