The first person was Tim Robbins, it was a 90's movie and god damn awful and i swore i would never watch another thing with him in. Over the years a lot of family and friends have tried to make me watch Shawshank Redemption but I will not relent on this.

Nicholas Cage was on the list for a while due to The Weather Man. Tom Cruise for about a decade. I had a spreadsheet on a old works laptop for the reasons why.

Well played, my brother in law is a psychiatrist and he thinks she is a dangerous narcissist based on the "Say You'll be There" video, but there's no way you could know that.

If I could I would buy you a pint.

Virtual pint graciously accepted - cheers!

I chose Baby Spice purely on the fact that my wife's ex dated her for a long time so it was purely to wind her up.

Saving Private Ryan, beach landing scenes are some of the best cinema I've ever experienced.

Book ended by sugary nonsense - and, given that in July 1944 the US army is losing 1000 men a day, a general and pentagon fella rock up and decide now that they absolutely have to save Matt Damon, because reasons. Not disputing the last son rule, but that it's deemed urgent that Hanks and his motley crew of cliches have to go backpacking around Normandy at that very moment.

Our gang of hikers set off, because the German army has wandered away like Everton's marking at a corner, and encounter a machine gun nest in the middle of nowhere, again because reasons Hanks decides to attack it - not call it in for airstrike or a unit backed with artillery - no they must attack it and not with the super sniper, nah, run up the hill at it like they are trying to chase an angry dog away from their child.

German prisoner dilemma, nonsense. But, briefly, it sort of explains the whole nonsense premise of the movie, we'll send soldiers off on a wild goose chase where they will make bad military decisions, not kill the enemy, because winning wars is all about rescuing people. Not deploying assets to shorten the war by killing as many of the enemy as quickly as possible and therefore secure the return of more of our sons but by rescuing soldiers.

I am fortunate enough to have never witnessed any war or suffering of any significant kind, unless you count Fulham away a few years ago when someone served my bruschetta with a bit too much basil - but I digress. My instinct is that movies like this do nothing but give politicians an extra layer of ignorance to hide behind when they send our soldiers to kill and be killed.

Spielberg has given the world cinematic masterpieces no doubt, Schindler's List springs to mind, not this metaphor laden nonsense.

FFS, it's not a documentary, it's a story about humanity within the inhumanity of war.

Has he done anything worth a watch?

Apart from that pimp smack he delivered a while back, can't think of anything I've seen him in.

''Enemy of the state" all for Hackman. "Bad Boys" was mildly amusing for Lawrence. "Men in Black" ok for Jones. I mentioned smith cos the 'academy' need some slaps for 8 nominations for that claptrap 'that thing you do'. They've got form though.
