"she made a couple of great films with george segal, great chemistry between the two and really likable characters. something modern directors don't seem to think is important. It's a big reason why so much modern shit is unwatchable"

"Cough, ha ha...... Caine doesn't get the credit he deserves, he is a top actor and I have rarely seen him in a bad film. That was Glenda Jackson's last film before she sadly passed away a short time later. A bit of trivia - ""Glenda Jackson revealed that she was approached by the director Melvin Frank for the film A Touch of Class after appearing on The Morecambe & Wise Show in 1971, in the ""Antony and Cleopatra"" sketch. After her role in this film won her an Oscar, Eric Morecambe sent her a telegram reading, ""Stick with us and we will get you another one""."

"Yea it's a really good watchable film, one of them that you know you will like before you even start watching it. Fwiw, I thought Glenda Jackson stole the show with her performance, was incredible."

[Far Cough]

Was that the one with Steve McQueen on a motorbike?

"Zircon. Agreed, had to watch it last week for obvious reasons. Michael Caine’s performance was outstanding but especially so in the non speaking shots when he was remembering the events of D day. You could just see the pain in his eyes. Terrific."

[zico]

The Great Escaper with Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson on Netflix is just a wonderful film.

"With regard to documenting wars/conflict, I'm not entirely sure The Killing Fields could ever be bettered."

Swiss. 5:37 Fri Jun 14 Yeah that’s another good oldie I’ll check out Winnie the Pooh. Seems a lot of slasher/horror films coming out

"Jaan Kenbrovin 3:58 Sat Jun 8 I think what I loved about Civil War was how they never knew how anyone would react when they got to a new place other than the people fighting wanting them (on the whole) to document them. Are they fighting for some kind of cause or is it an open invitation for people who have always wanted to shoot people? I loved the scene with the psycho wearing red plastic glasses and a truck full of dead bodies asking where the journalists were from, for instance."

"DukeofDevo 10:49 Wed Jun 12 Cheers mate, saw Under Fire years ago but I think I may give it a watch again. As for Civil War, Rolling Stone said 'it's not a documentary YET'. Films are very subjective and we all have our different tastes. I've seen films I've thought were shit then watched them again and loved them. A lot depends on the mood you're in when you see them. Also, contrary fuckers like us West Ham fans seem to love to slaughter films that some people rave about. I just like to point at a film I've enjoyed on here amongst my peers. I've enjoyed loads of stuff recommended on here and the TV thread. I would never take it personally if people think something I've enjoyed is shit. Threads like this are important more than ever because in the rush to deliver content between Netflix and the rest a LOT of REALLY shit films and documentaries are being made."

Duke Of this genre I would say Oliver Stone’s Salvador takes so beating. On another subject - Wiinnie The Pooh - Blood and Honey 2 . Masterpiece

chim chim cha boo 1:15 Thu Jun 6 On the subject of Civil War and war photography; there’s a good old Nick Nolte film called Under Fire worth watching. Civil War while I enjoyed it I wondered why it’s been made now when the country and world has never been so divided!

[Swiss.]

Hit Man is OK. Under Paris - Ridiculous but great fun

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"chim chim cha boo 1:11 Thu Jun 6 I loved the premise. Which is why I looked forward to it. It was the execution of it I thought was garbage. The characters were poor and some of the scenes didn't make sense at all. It was like Garland tried to copy apocalypse now, but didn't bother with the all the things that made that one of the very best movies ever."

[Alfs]

Hit Man lands on Netflix tomorrow. It's had very good reviews.

"Jaan Kenbrovin 12:34 Sat Jun 1 I couldn't disagree more about Civil War, but there again I am a photographer who when doing my photography diploma at the Cass in Whitechapel met war photographers like Don McCullin and thought fuck that shit, I'm sticking to portraiture! Maybe the young photographer felt a bit tacked on but I loved that film. If the Ukraine is like that, and it is, God save them."

"I found a Haunting in Venice tried to be too clever and dark with the camera shots which maybe tried to cover up a poor storyline. Don't remember it before as a Poirot film, certainly not a cinema one, maybe it was one of Christies weaker stories. I remember Branagh and Emma Thompson in a cracking film called Dead Again at the start of their careers but both then got a bit arty and Branagh certainly IMO is a bit hit and miss."

[Fauxstralian]

Never been a big fan of K Branagh Remember he did a reboot of the Swedish detective series Wallander The Swedish bloke in the original series convinced as a slightly run down detective in rural Sweden Branagh in the English remake looked like a STAR slumming it in suspiciously well made clothes

[Swiss.]

MMG Agreed but the second one did have Madelyn Cline in it. Who remembers Branagh as Frankenstein .. haha . What shite.
