What movie did you watch last night? (14 Viewers)

The Valley Of The Bees. It's a pretty grim humourless old Czechoslovakian film but very good.
Cast out by his father, young Ondrej joins the Order of the Teutonic Knights, where he is raised by strict monk Armin. After years of hardship, Ondrej escapes from the Order when he is wrongly punished, and sets out for his former home. Arriving to discover his father to be dead, Ondrej now not only assumes control of his father’s properties, but seeks to marry his former stepmother.

The Wind Will Carry Us. I got bored watching this at home before but it was on in the IFI today and I loved it.
In the film, a journalist posing as a city engineer arrives in a Kurdish village to document the locals' mourning rituals that anticipate the death of an old woman. However, she remains alive, and the journalist is forced to slow down and appreciate the lifestyle of the village.

The Men. Very charming and amusing Armenian romcom from 1973
Vazgen, Sako, Suren and Aram are taxi drivers and close friends. When Aram fell in hopeless love with Karine, other three decide to help their friend.
 
The beast in the cellar (1971)
Just released by 88 films. I upgraded from a recorded off the TV VHS to bluray.
Brutal murders are happening in a rural English village. Could it be a wild animal?.. .or something else? Maybe those two elderly sisters who live in that big country house have been hiding a dark secret....Quaint British thriller made by Tigon. Well made with solid acting and direction. Not a great film, but I like it.
 
Just watched 'the book of eli', wanted some easy hokum to watch. Enjoyed it more than I expected, despite (or because of?) the naked religious element. The soundtrack helped, I must look it up in the morning. Done by a chap who is or has been in NIN.
 
saw mad max furiosa saga whatever it's called last night. it was ok i suppose. felt a bit like it was written by chatgpt. probably was. enjoyed the convoy fight scene

went home and watched mike leigh's "four days in july" as a salvo. mad/great film. great acting, dialog, etc. as a southerner i'll never have a clue what it was like living up north during the troubles, but this film gives some sort of a look in i guess. it felt to me like it was more sympathetic towards the nationalist community, but presented humanity on both sides. can't really go wrong with mike leigh - looking forward the next one later this year
 
Took my daughter to see Furiosa last night, both loved it, her possibly cos it was the first 15s film she's been to see in the cinema. I just thought it was a blast.

Also, one of the best swapping of actors ever, when they went from young Furiosa to older Furiosa, I wasn't aware it had happened until about 10 minutes after. Very clever.
 
The body stealers (1969)
On blu-ray. Just released by 88 films as part of their Tigon collection.
Have seen it before, but never owned a copy.
Soldiers on parachute excursions are disappearing mid air what could be causing this? The army hire rugged, big chinned ladies man Patrick Allen to investigate.
Cheapo British sci-fi thriller. Unremarkable, but enjoyable. One for the collection.
