What was the last film you watched?

[Willie Oleson]

Netflix has listed MIDSOMMAR and I desperately want to see it but it's not available yet.

And...in the category Be Careful What You Wish For...

What a stupid movie!
"Slow burn" in movie doesn't mean you have to show every struggling, boring conversation or pagan ritual.
You can't buy suspense by extending the movie beyond its justification. It is soooo long and yet they managed to tell me absolutely nothing. I feel nothing.
I have no problem with copycat movies, and there were a few things that could have worked, but it's all buried under scenes and scenes and more ridiculous scenes.

Mulholland Drive (2001)
I really liked the first 2 hours of this film which seemed very original, mysterious, intriguing and gripping. However, the last 20 mins were like a completely different film as it became a bit more weird and confusing and completely changed my understanding of everything I had watched up until that point. I'm still not sure I understand what was going on at the end.

It's exactly what you'd expect it to be.

I totally relate to this. I remember seeing movies like the first Superman (with Christopher Reeve), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Poltergeist and being enthralled by them. It's not the same when I see comparable movies today. Seeing things through innocent eyes is a wonderful experience.
I'd also like to think movies were better in the 70's and 80's, but every generation says that.

I think there were great movies for kids in my generation (I was a kid in the 1970s) and I could still watch some of them and enjoy them, but nothing like the way I did when I was 6 years old.

I remember this being one of my favorite movies at the time (1975). Some of you may remember this.

Yes Giorgio (1982) - A totally ghastly film that achieves levels of awfulness that I didn't think were possible. The only good bit was the very end when Pavarotti sang Nessun Dorma and even that was unimaginatively staged.

I wanted to watch "Glass" so I thought that, after seeing "Multiple", I´d better take a look at "Unbreakable" first. Well, I did. I wonder why Willis looks so sedated in his films with Mr. Shyamayalalan. I really do. Though I´ll watch "Glass" anyway. At least McAvoy can act, and for real!

As if having wonderful performances from Brando, Taylor and Julie Harris wasn't enough, a young, chiseled, Robert Forster riding a horse in the nude was quite a sight to behold. Directed by John Huston, it's a tense and strangely hypnotic film.

Oh did you notice Forster too? I was a teenager when I "discovered" him...

 

[James from London]

Absolutely lovely early '60s kitchen-sink comedy-drama starring a radiant pre-Carry On Barbara Windsor and almost every future '70s sitcom star you can think of. The first time I've seen it in donkey's years and just as great as I remembered it.

How could you miss him! He's so handsome here, and looks very good in (and out of) the uniform.

Oh and I laughed my a** off when Liz took off her bra and threw it to Brando...!!
