Movies! The movie thread

M5Rick · 12-29-2023, 04:25 PM

Watching this again, forgot what it's all about.

Just finished watching "The Boys in the Boat" with my wife and my family.

We all really enjoyed it and thought it was quite well done.

Very much recommended-- no violence, sex or swearing, but amazingly-- still a great movie.

On an Eastwood roll here watching this one, Kelly and a bunch of GI's go AWOL to grab $16M of gold bars held in a bank...behind enemy lines.

A great film with a great cast.

I’ve just finished watching, again, one of my all time favourite movies.
Forgetting all the bullshit that comes with Tom Cruise he is exceptional in this.

Watching Rebel Moon, I mean i'll get through it because I love Sci-Fi but truth be told it is shit. Massive budget and still, shite.

We watched it, my wife loves sci-fi. It was ok but it felt like I was watching a B version of a Star Wars movie.

You were. It believe it was originally going to be a part of the Star Wars Universe but they scrapped that and Snyder went in this direction

Let's be frank though, SW wasn't Shakespeare either, but, man, that new movie...

TXSTYLE · 01-05-2024, 12:32 AM

For my high-octane Action fans, this is one of the best movies I've seen in recent memory!
It can be watched in English Dub also. Do NOT miss this movie....

100% relate to this comment.

Fishee · 01-05-2024, 10:43 AM

Totally fun movie.
Sort of neo-tarantino/refn.

M5Rick · 01-05-2024, 03:09 PM

Actor David Soul has passed at 80. Starred in detective tv series Starsky and Hutch and films like Magnum Force and Salems Lot.

Same. I must have seen it 10+ times since seeing it in theaters when it was released.

This one was great too! I watched that just a few weeks before going to Finland. Took a walking tour and they brought up the word.

TXSTYLE · 01-05-2024, 09:02 PM

Definitely must see this!

TXSTYLE · 01-05-2024, 09:03 PM

Jenna is definitely coming into her own...

I like the story about Enzo Ferrari and the cars but I’m not a fan of Adam Driver. Will probably see it eventually, though.

Really liked Ford v Ferrari. Great movie.

Esteban · 01-06-2024, 01:13 AM

^ I also like Michael Mann. Did that add to the movie, referring to his style, BMW F22?

Agree, I think so.

Gonna give this movie another shot as I only skimmed it the first go. I'm intrigued cuz it was loosely based on a real town in Pennsylvania where there is a mine fire supposedly still burning underneath, causing virtually all the population to abandon their homes.
