Films

Hey, does anyone have any good film recommendations. I'm thinking in the style of Enter the Void (Gaspar Noe)/The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky), nice visuals and some underlying existential theme preferred.

Smokey and the Bandit 3.

HTH.

This short film is heartwarming...about a few London kids meeting for the first time, a first ride to Brighton...and for some the first sight of cows.

Really enjoyed watching that. thanks for sharing.

Hiroshima Mon amour for classic French existentialism
The bothersome man for something else in existentialism
Both movies have "normal" visual (though well shot) can't of the top of my head think of something spectacular looking and existentialist
🤔

I have Detroit booked for Friday night and Patti Cakes for Saturday.
Might try and get American Made in on Sunday.

Also watched Blade Runner the other day. It's not that good. I've not seen it in a long time so I thought I'd remind myself before 2049.

Blade Runner?

Thanks Jaitch. Julian is a buddy. Written a couple of books too and just won a big travel writing prize for Interstate

Seriously?!

The end scene where he lowers himself into a vat of molten metal is pure class.

I loved the original Blade Runner film and the Philip K Dick's novel 'do androids blah blah blah' but do we really need another story..

that and Alien soap operas can >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is Philip K Dick related to Cressida?

XXX 3 - 20 mins in and it's really really terrible.
It's almost worth a watch for its awfulness.
Almost.

I see you couldn't remember the name of the film there. Never mind, you can always edit the placeholder out later.

Thoroughly enjoyed Logan Lucky

Good to hear. Me and the missus are probably off to see it this week...

^ So many films I want to see, including that, so many "lol no" from my wife and baby :(

I've deliberately skipped Dunkirk in the hope that in years to come there will be a retrospective on 70mm somewhere and we will have a child of an age that can be babysat so we can both go to the cinema together. No one tell me what happens.

They come at night.

don't believe the trailer. still good tho, bleak af.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2: entertaining sci-fly tosh.

Valhalla Rising

Excellent, mad as fuck art house vengeful violent Viking nearly silent epic.

#SPOIKERS#

Odin Skyfarter is imprisoned in a cage by Scottish Vikings, he escapes and rescues the Golden Child, along the way trips balls crazy.

Tried to watch Born On The Fourth of July on Netflicks, not available so their algorithm suggested a similar film. Titanic.

Watched Ghost in the Shell over the weekend. Pretty good. I was very hungover so following the plot wasn't the easiest.

It's the same as the cartoon... #yourewelcome

I never saw the TV miniseries but It is just Stand By Me with a clown. Didn't think it would have the laughs or heart that it did

It comes at night. Gloomy depressing implied terror. Not enjoyable. Would have worked better with zombies. Avoid

Baby Driver. Fell asleep. Didn't bother watching the rest of it.

The It. Blatant 'Stranger Things' ripoff...

All the Stand By Me bits of IT are straight from the book.

If anything Stranger Things was inspired by IT rather than the other way around.
