Tins Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Sorry guys, bringing up this old classic thread again. When googled the last time these were spoke about were back in 2010 (I could of swear we had a recent one), so I thought I'd start a new thread. I recently watched 4 films over the last 4 days, all have been amazing. The Godfather, Once, The Commitments and Philomena. What have you watched recently?

And Its Smith Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Out of films I've watched this year I'd highly recommend these. Das Experiment The Game Into the Wild We Need to Talk About Kevin The Men Who Stare at Goats Inception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I watched this french film the other day called intouchable, absolutely hilarious and based on a true story. It's on sky movies/now tv if you have that and I can't recommend it highly enough especially if you are looking for something nice to watch with the mrs.

Northamptonshire Red Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 My film watching frequency has hit rock bottom since discovering Dexter. Have you passed season 4 yet? I have a feeling after that you may get some more viewing time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northamptonshire Red Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Think I mentioned on another thread but the best ones I've seen so far are probably American Hustle, Out of the Furnace, Dallas Buyers Club and The Wolf of Wall Street. Was a bit disappointed with The Monuments Men and 300 (apart from Eva Green ) Looking forward to seeing Captain America this weekend, and I think this looks pretty decent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit disappointed with The Monuments Men and 300 (apart from Eva Green ) Looking forward to seeing Captain America this weekend, and I think this looks pretty decent: The novel/manga it's based on is pretty good and Cruise doesn't sign up for many crap movies....as much as I don't like him I still watch his films. I was also disappointed with Monuments Men, it promised so much more. The Grand Budapest Hotel is the next must see on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 If anybody listens to it the caller with the "military background" was on Down the Line this week. He said that he'd only watched one film, Mrs Doubtfire, and because he didn't like it he'd never watched another one :-D If it's current films then I've not seen any either.

Whether that is supposed to be funny or not, it made me laugh out loud or :laugh: if you like. Strangely, against OTIB tradition nobody has called anyone a **** for liking something that they thought was rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 It was the series' peak, after that it began to drift. That's a fair comment - likewise it did make me chuckle. As a young un i would of considered the first few to be brilliant. They are what they are and don't pretend to be anything other than that. Seen them many times and certainly have a soft spot for Mahoney, Hightower, Jones etc. And who could forget Sgt Callahan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS34Red Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 As others have said Captain Phillips is truly brilliant, can never go wrong with a Tom Hanks film, does he ever age? Also enjoyed the prisoners. Watched Gravity and felt it wasn't as good as it had been made out to be, the effects were stunning but the story line wasn't the best. It all felt a little fake. Was worth watching once but I wouldn't watch again. I've been meaning to watch 12 years a slave, any thoughts on that? I've just been put off watching it as it seems very emotional.

BS34Red Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 For anyone that hasn't seen in yet I highly recommend Rush. That is one of those films that I can happily watch over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
