What movie did you watch last night? (5 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

It was released on DVD & bluray on the mainland a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, very good. Thanks.

I watched the elephant man again recently. As usual it made me cry a number of times.
What a cruel life he endured.

Within 10 minutes of it starting I knew exactly how it was going to play out

You probably watched it already and then just went back in time

Guardians Of The Galaxy. Total and utter bollox.

Aww, what?? It's so much fun!

 

[nooleen]

it was fun but it was pretty poor at the same time

the quote at the end summed it up

"Something good, something bad? Bit of both?"

 

[Anthony]

I think there was one good joke in it. "Don't call be a thesaurus".

I watched this New York crime classic last night. Great performance by the main guy who was also in Things to do in Denver When You’re Dead.

Vallan terällä (1981) - IMDb

Edit: That’s Prince of the City. Not sure why the title has come up in "foreign" there…

I agree with Anthony, didn't like GOTG at all. Was a real let down.

I pretty much watch that every Christmas - great film.

Also, Le Orme / Footprints on the Moon (1975). The best description I've heard of this is "the loneliest film ever made". A woman keeps having dreams about an astronaut left behind on the moon. She takes a trip to a dilapidated seaside town where the inhabitants seem to know her even though she's never been there before.

Very atmospheric, the seaside town is indeed a very lonely setting and the moon stuff is creepy. Well worth a look

Citizenfour - the doc about Ed Snowden meeting the Guardian journalists in a Hong Kong hotel for the first time last year.. It's a fairly minimalist production, mostly just footage of the meeting itself with some build-up / fall-out and contextual news reports with an ominous droning soundtrack. If you have any interest in the story then this is fascinating by default - I don't think there have been many (or any) times in history when somebody has been able to film an encounter like this as it happens. It's kind of assumed that the viewer already knows the significance (and some of the details) of Snowden's revelations, this is breezed through in a whirl of acronyms and cryptic charts. Snowden keeps telling them that he's not the center of the story but the doc maker is fascinated by him as a character, and I can see why, he's highly articulate and spookily calm throughout despite the obvious pressure he's under. There's little pretense at balance, the doc maker is obviously on his side, but the US government hardly needs an indie filmmaker fighting its corner on this.

It's well worth a look. Klaus Kinski pops up briefly too
