"Seems like every year or so someone comes along and says Nicolas Cage has made a decent film for a change. They're always wrong. Mandy, Color Out of Space, Pig, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. All massively overrated with OTT performances, as far as I'm concerned. This time it's my turn. I thought Dream Scenario was great and Cage was brilliant in it. He actually got a Golden Globe nomination for it, his first for 20+ years. One of the best films of last year for me."

[Fauxstralian]

"Good to see an outbreak of good taste at the Golden Globes Main prizes to Oppenheimer, Succession & Anatomy of a Fall with a consolation prize for Barbie for selling a lot of tickets to women & gays Other winners Poor Things & The Holdovers arent on in London til the 12th & 19th but look interesting"

"Tried The Best Man (2023) on Netflix. Fancied an action thriller but by jove is there a movie with worse acting out there?1 Worth a watch to see how bad it is along with this CGI blood when the shoot people, hilarious. You can see why in Rocky 4 Dolph Lundgren, bless him, didn't have too many lines! Makes Stallone look like Laurence Olivier!"

[Lee Trundle]

Isn't Saltburn this (or last) years Brokeback Mountain? YOURS

[ludo21]

Saw Saltburn at the cinema a couple of months ago... my favourite film of 2023. Went to see Ferrari last week. The story largely revolves around Enzo but I love that era of racing and the 1957 Mille Miglia was very well done and pretty authentic with the cars and the action looking superb.

"Just watched saltburn after the missus insisted,it kept me awake which is unusual after a few beers and a roast. Is it worth watching ?? Yes ,kept me intrigued,sussed the ending üòâ."

[chim chim cha boo]

"We all sat down on Christmas Day and watched Saltburn on our new, massive TV with surround sound and found it magnificent with a great sting in the tale. I won't give the ending away but it's fucking great!"

[zico]

Society of the Snow on Netflix about the 1972 airplane crash in the Andes. I can remember the 90s film Alive being good but this is an incredible film. How anyone survived is incredible.

[Iron Duke]

"I saw a trailer for Next Goal Wins, about the American Samoa team who were ranked the worst in the world. It looks shit. However, I saw the real life documentary version on Prime a few years ago and thought it was decent. Maybe check it out."

[zico]

"Love Midnight Run. Everyone in it is brilliant but Charles Grodin is tops. That scene in the bar trying to get some money is classic. I see Amazon Prime are going with ads from February and if you want Ad free it will cost you another £2.99 a month I think. I keep it as it's cheaper than paying rip off delivery fees and haven't been impressed with their content tbh recently as it doesn't seem as regularly updated as it used to be. Still waiting for Equalizer 3, Expendables 4 and Indiana Jones to become ""free"". I know it's only a fiver to rent them but I always think it's a liberty when you are already paying a subscription! Anyone seen Keneh Branagh's Death on the Nile or A Haunting In Venice as they only seem to be available if you sign up to yet another bloody platform in Disney Plus!"

[Council Scum]

"Watched ""Bloody Hell"" On Amazon over Christmas, enjoyable Black comedy"

[Manuel]

"It is good old school entertainment, most enjoyment I got from a film in a while. Good character Robert McCall. Gave Midnight Run another watch last week, still good."

[chim chim cha boo]

"Got to say I agree about Equaliser 3. Normally I can't stand films like that but it was exactly how you described it. A really, really good film especially if you have ever been to Sicily or Naples."

[Manuel]

Equalizer 3 - I read on here it's shit? Cracking entertainment and some nice Italian scenery.

[chim chim cha boo]

"Well some of you will have to see 'The Zone of Interest', a proper real art house disturbing as fuck film from Johnathan Glazier that was at the London film festival this year. He did Sexy Beast, Naked and Under the skin which really haunted me. This is the same, a commandant who lives right next to Dachau concentration camp who's wife considers it her dream home. One of the most haunting, strange films you'll ever see, like it or not"

[Alfs]

"Films nowadays are green lit purely by algorithm. They want to guarantee a return on the invested budget, so very few risks are taken. And it's tough to get Indie films into cinemas, as they are struggling businesses now."

[chim chim cha boo]

"Jesus, with the exception of Eggers Nosferatu EVERY one of those films look shit."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Manuel 11:12 Yep, on Netflix I believe. Looks like next year could be a busy one for Eddie, as he's in talks to star as.........Inspector Clouseau! Perhaps I should've posted this on the woke watch thread ;-)"

[Manuel]

Just seen there's a Beverley Hills Cop 4 coming out next year.

"Northern Sold 4:27 Mon Nov 27 Have you done Apsley House, number one London on Hyde Park Corner? My (and probably most of us's) favourite British hero is Nelson, a man the Duke only met once and thought him 'ridiculous' but Wellington never enjoyed popularity like Nelson (who was a Norfolk parson's son) referring to his troops as 'a band of bastards'. He was born into the army, lived on his privilege and was an unpopular Prime Minister in peacetime, not unlike Churchill. Apsley House really lets you get under his skin. I've never seen so many portraits of Napoleon in my life. Every single room has at least one or two just in case you forget Waterloo, and as you enter the house there's a MASSIVE sculpture of Napoleon as Mars, God of war, sculpted by Antonio Canova, the greatest sculpture of his age. Napoleon hated it apparently as by then he was middle aged and fat. Apsley had to be reinforced so it didn't go through the floor. For a bloke who hated his troops looting, he somehow caught up with Napoleon's carriage at Vittoria and sent back to Britain the greatest Spanish art collection outside of Madrid which eventually became the bedrock of the National Gallery. If you go to Apsley you'll easily see he kept the best stuff for himself. The greatest private gallery I've ever been to is the Villa Borghese in Rome but Apsley House runs it a close second."

[Lee Trundle]

Any of you NERDS seen Rebel Moon yet?

[Council Scum]

"Watched Leave the world behind last night, good go at trying something different, worth a watch, didn't even mind Julia Roberts in it."

[Swiss.]

After watching Napoleon it's good to see R Scott has got into comedy. I thought he's Robin Hood was bad. Truly an awful film.
