Yes, I'd have to agree with your assessment of Ghost ship... Crass, 'B' movie bollox, and cringy too, but not in the right way! I'm surprised that Granty rated it - oi you!;)
Never mind, the charity shop benefited from the £1... I'll watch Splice tonight. If it's decent, as you say, then being a Blu-ray, it'll be a Billy Bargain:)
Marco.
I didn't rate Splice too much.
Ghost Ship may have been rubbish, but another ship based movie, Triangle, is worth a look, if you can keep up with the twisty plot.
:ner: but its modern..;) think i got about 10 mins in; maybe 15.... i'll stick to my oldies i said :)Quote:

Description:
Anna is a bereft young German woman whose fiance, Frantz, was killed in the trenches of World War I. Adrien, a French veteran of the war, makes a mysterious appearance in her town, placing flowers on Frantz's grave. Adrien's presence is met with resistance by the small community still reeling from Germany's defeat, yet Anna gradually becomes closer to the handsome and melancholy young man, as she learns of his deep friendship with Frantz.

I rather like these moody/atmospheric, slightly dark French dramas, and which portray a somewhat poignant political message.
Marco.
Ozon makes some thoughtful films. Saw 'Frantz' at my film club - it's the sort of film I like to see: a foreign language film in B&W (well partly in this case).Quote:

Stars Alec Guinness and John Mills.

Initially one feels for Guinness as Mills is initially hated but the moral tables turn.
A work of art in film making. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...197c574db6.jpg
