Films

Just got back from watching 2001: A Space Odyssey at our local art house cinema. Glorious

Fuck, those sets hold up so well on the big screen.

Just got back from watching 2001

I'm going to a screening on Friday - can't wait!

I saw it at the BFI on friday night. Never bored of seeing it. So good.

we were considering going straight into 2001 last night after Withnail - did see it a couple of years ago though - might go this week

I don't think they are showing Withnail up this way - gutted.

That would have made a great lads night out. One on my riding pals is a massive Withnail & I fan. Constantly quoting...

Tx, that's what I get for drinking soluble instead of Real coffee

Me too! I was a little surprised at the screen/seating angles they're getting away with there but it still looked amazing.

Yup. I was in the back row so i got to use the back of the cinema as a headrest which was nice.

Interstellar - better than I expected, very variable film but glad I went.

2001 - Utterly wonderful, the effects are still better than both Gravity and Interstellar, the music andf sound are immense. The StarGate scene might well be the greatest ever..

Fury was awesome, haven't seen a good/horrific war film in ages.

Just seen that this evening.

I could have stayed in and played COD against sweary fifteen year olds. Back to back clichés, chanting/screaming Nazis? :-(

Stinker.

Yup, awesome!

I thought they were both amazing (nymph 1&2).

It was a long time ago I watched his Dancer in the Dark but I remember it totally blew me away.

I need to check out Melancholia I guess.

Watch it all. Breaking the Waves is terrific. I think Dogville is great as well, but I think its a film that really stands out if you've seen his other stuff first.

Melancholia was a revelation - wouldn't mind seeing it again and again, but it would have to be in a decent cinema. Dancer in the Dark - blimey that final scene had everyone in the house shedding big wet tears, such a manipulative director but you kind of want that in cinema sometimes.

LWLie's top 25 snippety snippets.

I'm glad they put Under the Skin in there. Maybe the most haunting/memorable films I've seen for a while.

definitely - loathe to watch it again for what it will do to my psyche

Gyllenhaal is one creepy dude in nightcrawler.

Only Lovers Left Alive.

Cool sitcom and maybe the only good vampire movie since 1931?

Breaking the Waves

Overall a pretty upsetting film! A tough watch (like some of his others I guess) but this one really rang true – it's not a far-fetched story at all. Spellbinding acting. Glorious ending.

I've seen Emily Watson on stage and she's fucking rad. ^this role was close-quarters subtle film acting and she's remarkable. No problem with the format. She got oscar nominations for her 1st two films followed by a string of shit roles. She was a love interest in an Adam Sandler film (apparently) and the cardboard mum in Warhorse :-/

Horrible, isn't it? That fucking bus scene.

It sets the pattern for dogme in a way, as well. But I like it much more than The Idiots.

Kingdom is about the only thing of his i liked.

watching his films can be physically painful. and none of his films have patrick swayze in them. NONE OF THEM.

I remember fuck all from the kingdom except the kids and the Swedish doctor who hated Denmark. I'm going to rewatch it.

anyone catch the vastly inferior septic remake, that was mysteriously tagged as 'Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital'?

i'll watch anything with Udo Kier in it.
