[Film] A film you have re watched in lockdown that you forgot how good it was

[Barrow Boy]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. WHAT a film. The ending is sheer cinematic perfection.

Apparently Clint Eastwood held up filming at one point till he received his £250,000 fee + Ferrari.

Have you ever checked this lot out Easy, there's a lot of them on YouTube, I think they're brilliant.

The Business.

Fantastic scenery of Malaga in sunny Spain. Some great actors including Geoff Bell as the very unpleasant Sammy. 'Even his nightmares were scared of him' - a terrific one-liner.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Very clever and very funny.

Wonderful film, actually enjoyed it more than Life of Brian (with the possible exception of the Latin Lesson scene, which brought some horrible memories of Sir John Deane's Grammar School flooding back) and certainly better than The Meaning of Life.

Trainspotting

We watched Shallow Grave the other day. Not quite as good but up there.

Sky have had some of my favourite films on of late and I've watched them all again, some of them twice:

Shawshank
Road to Perdition
Gladiator

Not sure they're my bag tbh, but I do love the old spaghetti western theme tunes. I used to have a vinyl album of them all years ago, but must've lost it somewhere in a move. The Ugly soundtrack is glorious, not just the main theme either. Loved The Magnificent Seven soundtrack as well, stirring stuff.

Wonderful film, actually enjoyed it more than Life of Brian (with the possible exception of the Latin Lesson scene, which brought some horrible memories of Sir John Deane's Grammar School flooding back) and certainly better than The Meaning of Life.

I just loved bits like the Michael Palin peasant character describing how Arthur became king (by taking the sword from the lady's hand which emerged from the lake) as "some aquatic ceremony with a watery tart". and that after he had asked where Arthur was king of etc, and he commented: "Well I didn't vote for you!"

A Man for All Seasons.

Wonderful performances by Paul Schofield and Robert Shaw. and beautifully shot as well.

Watched with our teenage daughter:

Pretty in Pink
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
Some Kind of Wonderful
The Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles

[Some incredible UK New Wave songs within that lot].

Groundhog Day
[Right down my alley. Loads of genuine last out loud moments for us].

 

[Weststander]

Local Hero...
Marvellous film.

Next on my list is to buy DVD’s of Local Hero, plus Gregory’s Girl and Comfort & Joy. Beautiful movies from my teens, thank you Bill Forsyth.

The Hunger directed by Tony Scott

with Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon ( and David Bowie)

great scenes, great music

 

[Is it PotG?]

The 1997 Funny Games, terrific entertainment.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Watched Hidden Figures last night. Brilliant film and I might end up watching The Right Stuff for the first time as well because of it.

Master and Commander is on the list to be watched again as well.

I thoroughly recommend "The Right Stuff"

 

[Barrow Boy]

Watched the original Flight of The Phoenix the other month, much better than the remake. But with the cast who starred in the original it's not surprising.

And another film I'd forgotten about, the superb 'Ice Cold In Alex', watched it last year but hadn't seen it for about 15 years, what a great film.

 

[Jameson]

American Beauty. Whatever you think of Kevin Spacey, he's one of the best.

 

[Barham's tash]

Watched 'The Sting' again a couple of nights ago - loved it.

That’s a great shout. I’ve got the dvd somewhere but hope I can find an HD stream.

They really don’t make them like Newman and Redford anymore.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Soccer Dog

We watched Lock Stock..... last night and am now following up with the documentary on youtube.

I haven't forgotten how brilliant this film is as I much have watched it 100 times.

Still really enjoyed it though.

'Tin Men'. Love the film. Features great performances from Richard Dreyfuss, Danny De Vito and Barbara Hershey. Music by 'Fine young cannibals' and stunning American cars abound. One of my all time faves. Will also watch 'The Goodbye girl'. Dreyfuss at his absolute best. A real feel good film for these c**p times.
