The Dish

Not seen that. An Aussie film ?

 

[Bean]

Blood Diamond

 

[Mayonaise]

Tamara Drewe - couldn't stop laughing!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Blood Diamond

Great film. Not sure it was underrated though. Proved the ability of Di Caprio's acting ability

 

[Weststander]

Where Eagles Dare

The Heroes of Telemark

Comfort & Joy

Gregory’s Girl

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Machinist. Extraordinarily good and Bale should really have won an Oscar or at the very least have been nominated

Yes, in the same vein is The Castle. Both very funny.

Yep and based on a true story about a radio telescope site in western Australia that was supposed to be the back up relay station for transmitting the pictures from the landing of Apollo XI on the moon. Sam Neil plays the station chief in what is just a wonderfully humorous tale where the subject is just a back story to the workings of a relative backwater town in 60s Australia.

Wonderful cinematography and great acting all round.

Heard the castle is decent

 

[Bean]

It seems to be one of the films that Di Caprio plays in that goes unnoticed, despite it being one of his finest performances in my opinion.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

2010 was a decent follow up. Deserved a better rep imo

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

AI - Artificial Intelligence. The ending which I thought was the strongest part of the film got a lot of stick but it was Kubrick's vision

 

[Soton Seagull]

Things to do in Denver when you're dead

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Local Hero

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Local Hero

One of Mark Kermodes favourite films

 

[BadFish]

Things to do in Denver when you're dead

Yes, I watched this when it came out and thought it was brilliant.

Never heard it talked about at the time or since.

Good Call
