  • I've been giving a lot of big new releases in the cinema a miss ( including M:I, even my service users weren't interested in seeing it!!) But I hope to see Danny Boyles '28 Years Later' movie, he's a really talented Director, but I still don't think…

  • It always amused me that Lucas played a rough cut to his pals Brian De Palma and Spielberg, who were quite critical of it, and where Lucas got the idea for the scrolling storyline at the beginning to explain things! Always thought that was a cool p…

  • Good to see you back to normal 'Comments along ' @ToTheRight YOLT wouldn't be one of my favourite Connerys. Last viewing wasn't too good! Regarding 4k, I have a player, but I'm picky about getting 4k tapes. I still haven't watched my 'Apocalypse No…

  • I was actually planning to watch next in the 'Comments as you watch' thread! Can't go wrong here, Classic indeed! And agree about Daniela, wonderful Bond girl!
  • I wouldn't begrudge anyone their enjoyment of a Bond movie, especially your esteemed self @GoldenGun, a contributor who I never scroll past! .........the fact that I can't for the life of me see what you see in GE is neither here nor there!! 😂😂😂😂

  • I had Wint and Kidd at this exact placing. Two of the saving graces of DAF, they are a combination of goofiness and threat, and the film comes alive whenever they are on screen! I'm not in favour of spin offs, but these two would be great in their o…

  • He is funny in LALD ("SECRET AGENT?? On whooooose side?") Agreed, Pepper is not needed in TMWTGG!
  • Nice one, @FoxRox I havent seen all of Andersons films, but he certainly is a one off, nobody else doing what he does. 'The Grand Budapest Hotel', is probably his most accomplished and more accessible for the masses. He does tend to over indulge in…
  • LALD for me! Always loved it, smooth debut from Rog, great villains, belter of a theme song, exciting set pieces, good score! DAF, until the Brossa era, was at the bottom of my rankings. Coming after the sublime OHMSS, it was a huge drop in qualit…
