Did yous know in gremlins 2 new batch there was two different scenes filmed one for video and the other for cinema. The video one had a shoot out with the duke ( john wayne ) and the other hulk hogan vs gremlins
For me it is horror specially hammer with the greats as i call them. ( sir christopher lee, peter cushing, vincent price ) Of course there some you just have to qoute "what we want is what i think everyone wants and what you and your viewers have civilisation." Gremlins 2 brain gremlin
Recently, I have watched Blue Story, Knives Out, Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, and The Gentlemen at the cinema.
I will hopefully watch 1917 and Jojo Rabbit in the next couple of weeks.
Watched Headhunters and Life Of Brian on DVD, and Death Wish on Neflix recently.
Dunno about recommendations, I watched Shazam
Mary Queen of Scots was ok...
And I finally watched avengers Endgame...still not sure about that,I have too many questions about that whole thing..
I watched Mortal Engines over x_mas. Not a bad film. Worth watching--------------------------------------- added after 97 secondsAvengers Endgame made more sense to me the 2nd time I watched it
Who saw Cat's, or who will admit to seeing Cat's? I loved the Broadway production of Cat's so it is somewhat sad to believe that it has done so poorly in the movie theaters.

La Haine. (The best french movie, period.)
Akira (no description needed)
The Wind Rises (Most inspiring anime movie ever)
Casino / Pulp Fiction (best casting)
Clerks (best quotes)
Ia chute de l’empire Amйricain (meilleur film quйbйcois)
Series
Naruto shippuden (without fillers) best anime
Planet earth (sooo beautiful and perfect)
Daredevil/Punisher (everthing is just perfect)
Breaking bad (best finished serie, GoT might steal the trone tho)
Should this scene from Inglorious Basterds be dubbed in English?
To pay full attention to foreign language films subtitles are part of the experience.

And the original films, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish language, and the rest, are always better than the remakes. Compare the original Oldboy (Korea) to the US remake.
I was watching one of my favorite film of All time
shawshank redemption and what can i say about this film it amassing the acting of Morgan freeman and Tim Robbins are so awesome and the story is so good is something about this film that give it something extra special.
I think it one of thous films that will be timeless and will be Cult classic forever
It in same Class as film called Green Mile with Tom hanks and Michal Clark Duncan
Last week, Pulp Fiction was on TV and I had it on in the background whilst doing some work on the computer. I've seen it several times over the years and still don't get bored of it, which is unusual for me and movies.
As I was working and heard some of the classic script moments, I'd speak the lines along with the movie without really noticing how much I was doing it. There have been classic moments like those in countless movies I like where I might join in like that, but only those occasional ones that we all know well such as "Here's Johnny!" in The Shining, "We're gonna need a bigger boat" in Jaws or "Say hello to my little friend" in Scarface, for example. In Pulp Fiction that night, I must have joined in saying the lines more times than the classic moments from all the other movies combined!
I've watched other Tarantino movies, but in my opinion, Pulp Fiction is most definitely the pinnacle of his career. Everything about it works perfectly - cast, soundtrack, cinematography and editing. There's so many little details in it that seem insignificant or unnecassary when you think about them alone, but the humour and flow of the movie would be lost without them.
I think John Travolta is fantastic in it. Possibly the most unusual casting decision for a role I can think of, but I'd say it was the best acting he's ever done.
I have a friend, who's s0n is studying film at university at the moment. I asked him about the movie examples they use for studies, if any. He said they'd used Hitchcock's "Vertigo" and Kubrik's "2001 A Space Odyssey". Two fantastic movie favourites of mine, "2001" in particular as I'm a big fan of Kubrik, especially his "Dr Strangelove". I asked him this because I think Pulp Fiction should be one used for studying film these days, but I know there's no way it would be allowed due to it's content, which is a shame.
Sorry about my rambling, but I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to movies and music, and most of my friends don't have the same level of interest as I have, so this is a nice little chance to talk about it. I was about to continue this post by talking about the latest Star Wars movies, but I've done it as a blog post on my profile instead so this post is kept short.

His 'Pulp Fiction' -- "This ain't no dead nigga storage garage."
And don't forget his 'Inglourius Basterds', and his starring in 'From Dusk to Dawn'.
War for the planet of the apes is a good movie.
I watched Black Panther, Ragnarok,Wonder Woman,Dunkirk..
Spiderman Homecoming...
Anyone seen these movies ?
By #551226 at 26,Feb,18 20:04
The Jason Bourne series..sat down and watched all five of them this weekend.
I Love the Hellraiser films chainsaw Massacre,spit on your grave,Evil Dead,Saw,Centipede,Inbred.....and many more 😌
By #548464 at 26,Feb,18 19:45
Centipede?wow!that was really twisted! Wrong turn 2: Dead end..has amounts of ****,not so much quality but still impressive
By #548464 at 26,Feb,18 19:35
Totally agree!the sequels were useless..the first one was all the movie,inception also had something of matrix but at the end director could be better..
THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy is on the top of my Best Movies Ever Made list. They are almost perfect.
GODFATHER I and GODFATHER II are also excellent movies (the third one is an abomination)
THE MATRIX (I've only ever bothered to watch the first one) is on the top of my list of Over Rated Cinematic Crap. (I don't care how fancy the special effects are, the story, acting and dialogue are just poop.)
It is followed very closely by anything with STAR WARS in the title.
As for the Godfather I would agree that the third part is bad...I can appreciate the acting and cinematography, I just don't get it.
The Matrix is one of those movies that is pretty wooden really,but it is a popcorn flick,it was never really meant to challenge you mentally, I thought it actually opened a few doors to tell a much better story in the next films,but they are shit.... so as a stand alone movie it's just a popcorn flick,it did change the special effects in movies,a lot of the techniques used in The Matrix ended up being used in LOTR.
Did you ever make it to the movie theater to see whatever it was that you were going to see on your birthday? I am not a movie person so I do not recall the name, I just remember that when I Google'd it to see what it was about, I saw it was long, really long.....
I've also seen it since I posted that comment. It was fun! Dr. Strange was also a good time. Looking forward to Guardians Vol. 2!!! Marvel keeps putting out good comic-based films.
I'm the same the first two godfathers were excellent, the third was just not needed.

I just finished watching a movie called "A Serbian Film". Link here: only registered users can see external links
I'm 100% sure everyone that watches it will agree it's the most fucked up movie they've ever seen. I can't decide if i've seen worse yet. It's pretty close.
Another good one I watched called "The Snowtown Murders". It's about two Aussie serial killers that kill ****philes, homosexuals & rapists. It's a true story. Link here: only registered users can see external links
One of my favorite movies me & Lix watched just last weekend called "American Psycho". It's about a psycho-sociopathic serial killer named Patrick Bateman that goes around killing anyone & everyone. Made in 2000 but set in the late 80's. I won't post the link, but you can look it up on the site I posted those last two movies.

we watched weekend at bernies, aussie never seen it before, and then we or maybe just me, watched the dressmaker, its an aussie film and l liked it..missed the end..as l do with most movies..but what l did see l really liked *lix*
By #485312 at 17,Oct,16 07:04
Saw mastermind and it was pretty good. A few good laughs
By a strange and spooky coincidence (see music chat) the Norwegian film Troll Hunter is on Film4 channel here in UK tonight. I have seen it - very good, and the last Troll is a big one!
I actually prefer movies to not have sex scenes. I know what sex looks like, and, in a non-porn movie, they just waste time that could be better spent on story/character building.
That wasn't the question Mister
But taking on board your view,what if the sex scene is integral to the character development of the movie? have you got a favourite sex/lovemaking scene ?
Have to agree with bella!, "It's a Wonderful Life" is a timeless classic. But a good laugh at Christmas is good as well, so a dose of Clark Griswold is always on at some point at our Christmas. only registered users can see external links
It's on tv Christmas eve afternoon, 2ish. Glenn Miller Story next week too. All our favourite musicals are on over the hols. Set your recorders UK people
Will Ferrell annoys the crap out of me.
It's not a movie, but I am a huge fan of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." (The animated Chuck Jones directed/Boris Karloff narrated version, not the Jim Carrey abomination.)
I like Elf though,most of his other movies are hit and miss for me..
I haven't seen the Grinch movie you mention..something for me to look out for in the future...
Dr Seuss, I probably have used his quotes over and over without ever realising it....
“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”
True story:
My oldest nephew loved that book. He asked that it be read to him almost every night at bedtime. By the time he was five, I'd read it to him so many times that I'd committed the entire thing to memory...word for word...and no longer needed the book in hand.
A few years later, while at the local library, he mentioned to the librarian that I had memorized his favorite Seuss book, and she asked me if I would be willing to come to the library's Christmas party and recite it for the k*ds.
It went over quite well, and has become an annual tradition that I look forward to each year.
That's a great story that has evolved into a tradition.
In my blog, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, I mentioned to sherryann that my oldest nephew LOVED that story. At bedtime, he would select a book or two that he wanted to hear read to him. He didn't care whether it was February,June, October or December, he often selected 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and also committed the words to memory. Seems like one hundred years ago, a Christmas Eve gathering at my s!ster's, my nephew was just 3, he sat on the hearth with the book in his hand and began "reading" the words he had heard so many times before.....the book was upside-down.

A Christmas Carol. I don't have a favorite. I like every version of that story. I think it's the greatest Christmas story ever written. Well, the Christmas Box is sorta okay also.
One of my all-time favourites is the 1953 British film classic "Genevieve" which I've only ever seen on t.v. About two veteran car fanatics who go on the Brighton run and then decide to race each other back to London. In colour, it starred Kay Kendall, Dinah Sheridan, John Gregson and Kenneth More and this frolicsome romp was greatly assisted by Larry Adler's harmonica theme music. Poor Kay died only six years later from leukaemia aged just 32, she was a strikingly attractive comedy actress of enormous skill with a very sexy voice (see her sing and dance with Gene Kelly and Mitzi Gaynor in her one and only Hollywood film "Les Girls" in 1957 when she was already ill) and the nightclub scene where she gets up, drunk, and plays the trumpet is one of the best bits of the whole film. Dinah's spirited performance as the exasperated wife of John Gregson (who also died young too at 55 in 1975) is also spot on and there is also a brief but fabulous cameo by the one and only Joyce Grenfell (died 1979, aged 69) as the landlady of a seedy hotel. Kenneth More was only 67 when he too passed on in 1982 but Dinah outlived them all, passing away in 2012 at the ripe old age of 92. All the stars gone now except that they're not as, out in Australia, there is Genevieve herself, the veteran car of the film's title, a 1904 Daracq, and she will be its epitaph
I've said it before and I'll say it again: IT WASN'T BEN'S FAULT.
Virtually everything about DAREDEVIL was horrible. The directing was awful, the dialogue was terrible and the story was a hodgepodge of too many elements which were cobbled together in shoddy fashion.
Mr. Affleck did the best he could given the circumstances.
No one could have polished that cinematic turd...
I don't know what HD is. Anyway, I do watch lots of youtube films because I have no other choice. Fortunately, I understand spanish and some other languages.
But since you're a film buff, why don't you give me some tips? (What kind of films do you like, by the way?)Most of the people watch whatever the cinemas show so they have nothing interesting to suggest.
If you like comedies (a very difficult genre), here is a film combining the inimitable Louis de Funиs and Coluche:

Though I am a fan of both captains (they each bring a different style of command to the bridge of Enterprise), I will confess to giving a slight edge to Kirk.

not my usual movie but i saw interstellar at the weekend and really enjoyed it! actually it was a bit of a matthew mcconaughey weekend as i also watched dallas buyers club, which again was an excellent movie.
Look out for Magic Mike, which might be on tv. A good film. I agree about buyers club, haven't seen interstellar yet. --------------------------------------- added after 13 hours
More info, now I've got the tv guide. Next week is good for films on tv (if you're a UK viewer, or receive UK channels). Film4 has a Matthew McConaughey season, and all are worth watching.
Magic Mike is on Wednesday. A fun film set around a male stripper club, and a happy ending. I like that. And good use of music.
But the night before is The Paperboy. It might make some people uncomfortable, with Nicole Kidman in a different role to usual, and John Cusack...... not a nice guy! Not a happy ending, either. Matthew McC would be described as a flawed character.
But this Sunday, late-ish on Ch4, I'll watch Haywire. Same director as Magic Mike (Steven Soderbergh) and actor (Channing Tatum) Don't mess with Gina Carano. My kind of woman
By #452019 at 14,Oct,15 14:50
i have seen magic mike and it was pretty good, mcc was hot as i recall. wish i could recall the film he was in where he played a right bastard and had a woman fellate 'something?' other than his cock, what was it called...?
thank you for the other 'tips' i will keep a look out for them.
It's a very long film. Even with the explicit girl girl sex scene I was in danger of nodding off. From recent French cinema I liked Jeune & Jolie.
PS. I didn't rate Nympho 1 and 2 either. I've never found a Lars Von Trier film I enjoyed.
By #452019 at 06,Oct,15 21:27
oh miles, it wasn't just the sex that made the film interesting, it was the whole relationship from it's tentative start to the inevitable break up, i found it very engaging.
i quite liked nympho 1 & 2 but sadly you could always tell how it would end.
sexual chronicles of a french family is another worth catching if you have a chance.
I'm looking for anyone that saw the original, uncut movie, The Tin Drum. I saw it again on Stars or something, and it had a few scenes cut. If you saw it, you know exactly what scenes.
I will hopefully watch 1917 and Jojo Rabbit in the next couple of weeks.
Watched Headhunters and Life Of Brian on DVD, and Death Wish on Neflix recently.
Guess I'm not a number one fan
Mary Queen of Scots was ok...

Who's your favourite James Bond babe ?
bond babe that is hard one.
I wil have to say melina havelook from
For your eyes only
Daniel Craig- banging broads and shooting it up. Essential Bond. Not that Pierce Bronson. He could not take over a fucking GAP store.
Bond Girls: Pussy Galore- just for the name, but for the real vote it is Vesper all the way.
Cunts.
