Cocoon, bit weird really. Made me think about those suicide cults in the 80’s when they thought they were getting on a spaceship 

I just remember one scene from that film, and it involved the backside of a woman coming out of the swimming pool

Don Ameche won an Oscar for Cocoon.

Not sure. He was also in Trading Places. One of the rich brothers.

What a film that is.

Can't you just turn the colour down on your tv and save £20?

Haha. Turn the subtitles on for a completely different feel.

A classic. One of my favourite films when I was a teenager

Bedknobs & Broomsticks, enjoyed it

That would make a good alternative ending.

The but I found weird, because it was of the times, was when the young fella is peeping through a hole in the wall to see the fit young woman undressing, but then she turns out to be an alien.

[Tosh]

We watched Knives Out last night. We all enjoyed it, the cast looked like they enjoyed making it, and the plot kept us interested and engaged. We all had our views on whodunnit (Murder on the orient express style)

Daniel Craig’s accent grated a bit though

I don't think you were allowed to make a Hollywood film in the 80's without a bit of locker room peeping action.

stays with you for a while doesnt it..

 

I really enjoyed it

[Barnesy_10]

Changing Lanes 

A young Ben Affleck and Samuel L Jackson encounter each other in a traffic accident and the impact it has on their lives. 

Quite enjoyed it 

[Benzo-13]

Watched The Gentlemen. Wasn’t bad.

No, he's the skinny guy. The meatloaf fella was the coach in The Natural

 

[Ostrich Man]

finally got around to seeing Once upon a time in hollywood, wasnt bad, wasnt great but had its moments.

I did think the comedy elements into what I thought was going to be the tate murders wasnt sitting all that well with me so ending took me by surprise.

loads of superfluous b******s in it to pad it out I felt.

 

6/10

Iron Man 2. Crushingly ordinary with a really poor ending. Again, another s*** baddie. Mickey Rourke is pointless. He can only play himself with different accents since he did that to his face too. 
 

At the risk of being a #LAD, Johansson is staggeringly attractive in it. 

[kop205]

Watched Ferris Bueller again last night.

I know I'm old cos I now just think he's a f***ing prick.

And the cast is full of road killers, wife beaters, nonces and Trump supporters.

[Falconhoof]

Bueller, Bueller, Bueller.....
 

Seemed like a great film at the time. Now I think they are probably all s***ehawks. Especially Ferris.

Have you seen #3 yet?

I remember seeing it at the time and pretty sure I hated it. Gonna watch them all in the right order. May as well have something to show for this rotten time in our lives. 

[Earl Hafler]

Yeah, it's a horrid film but did brilliantly at the box office.

 

I'm going through Cheers, Drop The Dead Donkey etc with the occasional classic film thrown in - watched Cleopatra and The Untouchables over the weekend.

[McBain]

Just finished Knives Out.

Brilliant and just what I needed to watch. Craig's accent only bugged me at the start
