A Fish Called Wanda. 1988.
Top cast and a screenplay by John Cleese. What's not to like. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e1b9c894c7.jpg
Is that the censored version?
Probably
Poirot Season 1.1989 I think.
Great stuff from Suchet as the Belgian detective.
I have most of the series. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...681f41d8f9.jpg

'Young Winston' (1972)
Quality film, very under-rated. I always wanted a broom-handled Mauser after seeing this.
Was never keen on those or the Luger. The Walthers are more to my liking, a nice little .765 PPK with a shoulder holster will do.Quote:

Just watching Steve Backshall exploring the largest unexplored cave network in the world on Yesterday TV.
I'm wondering how they know it's the largest if nobody has explored it?
Frequency. 2000 stars Dennis Quaid.

I have that - an enjoyable, if unbelievable film.
Re. 'The Repair Shop', I've been a bit of an addict since the start. Delighted to see the new series (14 episodes, each an hour long). I'm simply in awe of the skills of the restorers.
Tremors. 1990. Stars good ol boys Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon.
Some misterious underground creatures terrorise a community.
Great humour and very enjoyable horror flick.

She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. 1949.. Stars John Wayne, Harry Carey Jnr and Ben Johnston..Victor Mclaglen steals all the scenes he is in of course

Watched that the other week, not a bad little film.
Filthy, Rich & Catflap, committed to VHS in 1987 (so bored thought I’d see if my vcr still worked)

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. 1956...Stars Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter.

Classic sifi
The Kingdom (Netflix) Season 2
Wonderful South Korean period drama, with all the court intrigue, and action of Game of Thrones, no dragons though, zombies a plenty.
Classic sci-fi indeed. A later version with Donald Sutherland was pretty good as well.Quote:

Everybody should see this at least once! I remember the first time I watched it and saying 'WOW!' when it finished :).
Dr. Strangelove or, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". 1964. Stars Peter Sellers, George C Scott and Sterling Hayden...with a bomb ridin' Slim Pickens stealing many scenes.

Quality film.
With the lockdown in place and having time on my hands, decided to give Disney+ a whirl.
£5.99 a month not too bad.
wonder what you get?
Extra clickey on the screen...cool.

This is gonna be good actually, the 5 boxes along the middle are what it’s all about.
All of Disney, All of Pixar, All of Marvel, All of Star Wars, All of National Geographic content.
What to watch though?
Feel like a filmathon, Star Wars or Marvel... :scratch:
Didn’t know this but seems all the major movies are in 4K Dolby Vision! Yup, all the Marvel and Pixar movies too, brilliant.
Sorted.

The Mandalorian is supposed to be good. Series though not a film.
1941..1979 directed by Stephen Spielberg. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8a9211c90b.jpg
Seen the Mandelorian Martin, it’s fantastic,
Best Star Wars since Empire for me, even edges out Rogue One.
Not just the Movies but any tv series’ or other content all there too, including all bonus stuff on Blu-rays like deleted scenes, commentaries n stuff.
Looking forward to seeing it again in 4K this time, not in compressed 1080p :eyebrows:
Some good stuff to dig into, sorted for viewing I think.
Giving this a go later (available on BBC iplayer)

You way ahead of me then, I only got round to Rogue One last month.Quote:

Agree 100% mate.
Well, it WAS best since empire till Mandelorian came along.
That gritty “real world” quality Rogue had, Mando’s got all that and more.
Your in for a treat when you see it.
The Odd Couple 1968, stars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Story and screenplay by Neil Simon. Directed by Gene Saks.

Was very disappointed with '1941'. Maybe I wa expecting too much.Quote:

Stir Crazy (1980)
Sort of an appropriate watch at the moment. Seen this loads of times and it's always good. What can you say about Richard Pryor? Nobody's ever come close since and probably never will.
Rio Lobo. 1970. Stars Duke Wayne .. the 3rd of the Howard Hawks trilogy on sheriffs defending towns, the others being Rio Bravo and El Dorado.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Lobo_1970.jpg
The Count of monte cristo. 1975.
Tv film this stars Richard Chamberlain and Tony Curtis
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...33d670c397.jpg
Hue and Cry. 1947. Stars Alistair Sim
Think this was technically the first of the Ealing Comedies. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...511ed0be48.jpg
I do like post war British films, a nation struggling to recover after years of war and still with severe shortages but holding its head up high.
Mosquito Squadron. 1969.. Stars david McCallum.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...o_Squadron.jpg
The raid echoes Operation Jericho, a combined RAF–Maquis raid which freed French prisoners from Amiens jail in which the Mosquitos took part
Shooter 2007.stars Mark Wahlberg and Ned Beatty.

Bit slow I thought, the fight scene was well choreographed but, yes, it did kind of fizzle out. Ray's always good value, have you seen one of his earlier films 'Love, honour & obey'?, worth looking out.Quote:
