The Menu on Disney+ is worth a watch.

I loved the Menu - great film and reminded me a bit of the film Delicatessen.

Thought I'd watch the thing nominated for 11 Academy Awards, Everything Everywhere All at once. .... fmd, is it me or is that one hard movie to get ya head around?
Pulled the pin 40 minutes in!

I watched it last year as my daughter raved about it. Didn’t do anything for me.

The Banshees of Inisherin. Fecking brilliantly bleakly blackly funny and sad. Gleeson and Farrell, what a pairing. McDonagh, what a writer. The Irish, what can you say. The poetry and pain of life, it's in the blood.

Intense as but I loved it. Very different with great acting performances. Especially Farrell.

I loved it TBV. Give it a bit longer.
The kid who was Short Round in Temple of Doom and Data in The Goonies is sensational

Just watched The Sting after many years. Still funny.

Watched all of it. Want that time back so I could, I don't know, nap, read a book, do some gardening, take the dog for a walk etc etc etc.

So boring.

Classic! Great cast, great story. Shaw & Durning great turns in supporting roles.

Went looking for it the other day but as I don't have Foxtel... no go. What I never knew, or maybe it was because it was crap and I didn't remember... there was a Sting2

Still love that tune. Even when Hoges used it when playing that funny skit

Top Gun Maverick or whatever it’s called. Trying to work out where it sits in my all time silliest movies list. Probably top quartile.

Unbearable Weight of Massive talent with Nicholas Cage. Passable. Just. I suppose.

The Eagle Has Landed. Heh heh heh… pretty corny at times but like a lot of those 70’s movies you keep watching anyway. Big name cast that probably wishes it wasn’t on their resume.

 

[MD Jazz]

Yeh like the Eiger Sanction or Odessa File

When I was young I thought it was a top film, 1976 release, big cast, big time director, screenwriter but it didn't really age that wel. At most a two-time watch in your lifetime, and I've definitely used them up in the 80's when we had 4 TV channels to watch man!!

But that film had so much promise, director is a stud John Sturges - Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape - that's a darn good resume, Michael Caine and Donald Sutherland hitting night on 90 now and still in every second film or TV series I watch, Bobby Duvall who I just luv Then Donald Pleasance, Anthony Quayle and the film even bats down to Treat Williams and old JR himself, Larry Hagman.

Sadly the films didn't have that energy but the books are pretty good.
Read them years ago, enjoyed the books but I can't even remember the films they must''nt have rang a bell at all to keep/re-watch/talk about.
I've polished four books of the last month, one a week

Watched the Black Phone the other night, not bad, not an all timer but very solid movie.

Cocaine bear came up a lot during the superbowl commercials (in Australia). Seems like a lock for gold class.

Watched Goodfellas for the umpteenth time last night.
