The Great Wall.
Spectacular. Good fun. Old fashioned. Scary.
I really enjoyed that.

Very like LOTR in terms of the scale of the battle scenes.

They do make movies like this anymore.

Last night I watched "Rush" which was the Nicci Lauder/James Hunt F1 tale. I thought it was one of the most enjoyably watchable films I've seen in a long time. My son, and husband both enjoyed it too. Sadly if I like a story they generally don't, they prefer more violent action or sci-fi. It was nice to find a film that ticked all our boxes.

Rush was good, watched it last night, thanks I would not of watched otherwise as car movies sometimes have too much car or too much women, This was a perfect compromise

Thank you for the recommendation...son seems to have turned into a petrol head when I wasn't looking. We will look for Senna tomorrow.

Theres just been a film on about Steve McQueen making a film in Le Mans about F1...it was utterly dreadful, mortifying.

This is another "they do make them like this anymore" gem of a movie.

It's from 2011, black and white and silent. A great companion piece to Singing in the Rain.

It's funny, beautiful, has some glorious and clever scenes and you will absolutely love the dog.

An Oscar winner. I never knew.

Want to see that. One of the actresses won the Oscar, I believe.

While not a great fan of Trainspotting - it had it's moments, not all of them pleasant :eek: - I did enjoy it. Much more the second time, strangely.

So I thought I'd give T2 Trainspotting a go.

It's really very good. Many good scenes, especially the one like that in "Whatever happened to the Likely Lads" when Terry and Bob share a train compartment but don't immediately realise. :lol:

If you enjoyed the original, you'll enjoy this. Perhaps more. :nod:

Kong: Skull Island

Terrific stuff.

King Kong as it should be. :thumbup:

Great soundtrack too, as you'd expect with Vietnam war era rock.

Saw "The Journey" today at the cinema. Very good, excellent acting from the two main characters.

Bonus, a fat old lady came over and gave us shit for talking in the trailers. I was the model of self-restraint and decorum but my mate had a real Barney with her. Highly entertaining. :)

Couldn't they afford a properly stitched lampshade?

Their Finest.

I watched it tonight. It just oozes class. Exactly what you'd expect from the BBC.
