Films

[QUOTE=General Lucifer;1930871]Ooh! Rhubarb and Custards. I used to like them as well.
Love a pear drop too...

funny pear drops what the one who never gives up chose

I miss all that shit down here must admit, grabbing a mixed box of gulab jamen and going into sugar coma 10 minutes later

Rhubarb and Custards were nice because of all the benzodiazapines in them (MMM....warm and floaty)

Acid Drops however were shit, no buzz at all

hehe
only kidding I was troughing the rubarb and custards all weekend (stop gurning EB not that sort)

back on topic-
love going to a cinema on spec, finding something you want to see is on that minute!!
going straight in and sitting down,
this can only happen around leicester sq or in other proper cities

Leicester Sq? Hmmm, hate that place. My choice of cinema is the cineworld in Canary Wharf, big and a good selection of films too (even indie ones but they are only one for a wekk, fortnight tops). The unlimited card deal they've got is good, though it does hook you in to only going to cineworld though...

Though Clara and I have different view on cinemas, she like the old vintage theatres, whereas I like the modern ones (bit like our taste in bikes too). I like the charm of the old places, sure, but when you get to watching something in them it's always a bit of a pain. Seats are flat so someones head is always in the way (as apposed to banked in modern ones), and the screen is alway tiny, I never understand why they leave half the wall empty.

Tom n Nicole in 'eyes wide shut?

Stop derailing the thread with some shit movies that don't have fighting in.

Good call.

The Terminator >>>>>>>>> Judgement Day.

Terminator 2 is better IMO, the original t
Terminator is just extremely dated in the way other films of it time weren't (Blade Runner) ... Judgement day still looks good today (20 years on) and still excites.

Oliver, you rule out Alien and its ilk on the grounds that the script is sparse and 'vacant'. Surely it's plain to see that (or not, if you haven't seen it) Aien is all about tension and atmosphere? If it had reams of dialogue it'd be blown completely.

In fact, for such a film, saying you've not seen the film but have read the script is like saying you've not listened to 'Brown Sugar' by The Rolling Stones but you have analysed the arrangement. In other words, perhaps you've missed the point?

Said that better than I could.

Lost classics AKA films I've seen, but have not revisited for some time, and for some reason I feel they left a mark on me, and I should watch them again:

Picnic at hanging rock
Lost Highway
Don't look now
After Hours (Scorsese comedy)
Insignificance (don't think this has ever seen DVD release?)
Pale Rider

just a few off the top of my head - anyone?

Don't look now - amazing.
After Hours - Incredibly dark and nightmarish, and also had a huge effect on me.
Pale Rider - Brilliant.

Not seen the other three.

The Innocents
The Warriors
Rumblefish
Death Line
Walkabout

The Innocents
The Warriors
Rumblefish

Got shown Rumblefish today, enjoyed it, especially the barely-there hints of colour.

Rumblefish - yes bit of a fave there back in the late Eighties
