What movie did you watch last night? (8 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

not at all! But it's easier to browse than a torrents website

Ok, I’ll try my best.


Dunno if you can get it in Ireland, but BFI player is great. Costs about a fiver to stream a flick but they show all kinds of weird and wonderful films that are hard to find anywhere else. I watched James White and Appropriate Behaviour on there because I missed them in the cinema and couldn’t find them on torrents.


Watch Great Films on the BFI Player

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

amazing! I loved Cloverfield so much

It is a much different movie. But still very engaging for all that.

Might give it a shot! I watch the odd film on Volta.ie as well but sure I'd have to know what i'm looking for to even begin.

@7 - No tomorrow you were always at the film fests so you too. What films should I see?

Happily, but I don't know what you like.
What do you like?

Yeah, tbf, I watch more horror films than any other genre – about 3 a week, but I also go to the cinema at least once a week and watch “good” movies. I wouldn’t really recommend horror films to people unless I know they’re horror fans or the films cross over into the mainstream/critically acclaimed. For example, my favourite film of the year is Bone Tomahawk but it an extremely violent, talky 2hr 15min horror western which probably wouldn’t be to most people’s tastes.

Right. One of my favourite films is Dean Spanley

But it's unapologetically sentimental, so I feel odd recommending it to people.

i've never heard of this movie

I’m constantly praising Spielberg’s War of the Worlds but the majority of people hate it. I think it’s one of the best sci fi films ever made.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Fair points all round.

I have no idea what I'm looking for really : /

Recommended if you've ever had a dog. Or a father.

You should like 10 Cloverfield so. Some of it plays like a really good B-version of that.

If I could change one thing about people's attitude to films is to switch the question from "Is it any good?" to "Would I like it?"
Because that's what they're really asking.

True, but if someone likes it and I don't that's usually something worth looking into as well.

I also think Payback is fantastic. Not a universally loved film, but it's gets all the elements of Westlake's noir right in a modern setting and it might be even better than Point Blank.
No one likes Mel Gibson anymore though.

I'm trying to think of movies I've watched over and over again.
Not counting obvious stuff like Godfather and Aliens.

I'll skip it, so.

Hail Caesar is about the most enjoyable Coen film in ages.

That was terrific

Ace. First one is deadly

amazing! I loved Cloverfield so much

It is really best if you don't read anything about this film before seeing it.

would you be well advised to see the first one before seeing this?
