Christ.

Debating whether or not to put The Green Mile on. I'm up at 5 and it is on for ages, but it is a brilliant film.

Deadpool. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Morena Baccarin is a complete dream of a woman.

Loved that when it came out.

Suicide Squad tried to copy the humour and failed miserably.

All of me hates it. It was originally supposed to be for touching up scenes and what not, now entire scenes are being animated with ludicrous swooshing cameras that are obviously fake. The model ships in the Alien films and 2001 Space Odyssey piss all over CGI imo

Set making is a lost art nowadays, as its easier to do all the indoor stuff on a computer.

Real shame, as some of the model stuff done in the eighties, still stands the test of time today - the two you've mentioned being amongst the best. Also a lot of the set on Blade a Runner set is amazing too, a real blend between CGI and models.

Oh yeah, one of the most physically stunning films of all time. Nothing that I've seen in the modern era holds a candle to it

You are wrong, a good film is a film you would watch again, 98% aren't, once you've seen them your done.

To want to watch a film for a 2nd time is a rare thing.

Probably not your thing, but I watched Not Another Teen Movie about 4 times in a week when I first got it. Spoof of the teen movie genre (obviously!), ripping everything from Grease to 10 Things I Hate About You and American Pie, via The Breakfast Club. Nails them all imo, and it's got Chris Evans being Chris Evans. One of my favourite comedies ever, and I could watch it anytime.

I'm not railing against blockbusters themselves, rather just how rotten they are. the best blockbusters from the 90's were entertaining, thrilling and charming: Independence Day, The Rock, Jurassic Park, Deep Impact, Fifth Element, Titanic, Forrest Gump, Matrix, Speed, Saving Private Ryan etc

Argument is pretty weak when you using rubbish like Deep Impact and Titanic, and several of those movies aren't 'Blockbusters'...

Part of me really dislikes CGI. It can be very impressive of course but there are other ways.

Jurassic Park being the most obvious example. The animatronics in the first movie peed all over all the following CGI dinos.

Star Wars IV-VI >>> Star Wars I-III...

The Survivalist -
Apocalyptic tale of survival, very bleak.
Cant work out whether I liked it or not.

Not that rare. I once watched Moon twice in one day.

 

[ijjysmith]

Not that rare. I once watched Moon twice in one day.

I watched The Lego Movie twice in one day when I first saw it. Because it's effing ace.

 

[COYBL25]

Not that rare. I once watched Moon twice in one day.

I went to the cinema to see it and went straight back in for a second viewing immediately after the first had finished.

To date, I've never done this with another film.

 

[ijjysmith]

Love Goodfellas, also love Bronx Tale

Yes mate.

Cracking film. Chazz Palminteri sure does play a convincing gangster.

YES

Watching it and it's fantastic.

Concussion...
Excellent performance by Will Smith as the Nigerian neurologist who shamed the NFL.
