The Beatles: 8 days a week.

Fascinating doc on the Fab 4 on their early touring years. My god, they were worked like dogs by Epstein and in Hamburg. It's no wonder they became so incredibly good - the greatest band ever and will ever be.

It's on More4 if you fancy it.

Wilson. Adapted from the graphic novel by the original author Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), stars Woody Harrelson as the grumpy title character as he looks for meaning in his life. A dark comedic look at life. 7/10

Lady Bird. Coming of age movie with some funny moments and some very touching moments, Saoirse Ronan's performance reminded me of some of her director, Greta Gerwig's. Apparently the movie made a lot of people call their mum's, god knows why as I did not like Lady Bird's mother, hyper critical & seemingly intent on not supporting her daughter's dreams. A great little lower budget drama. 8/10

Get Out. Very hard to categorise, not strictly speaking a horror (which is probably why I liked it), elements of drama, thriller and social satire. Very engaging, not a dull moment. 8.5/10

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

The Young Karl Marx.Good film.

The Darkest Hour - UNMISSABLE- not even going to rate it. One of the finest films I’ve seen ever. I hadn’t seen any previews, just watched it here on impulse. Pretty much dialogue all the way and not for one minute did I look at my watch.

Yes watched it last week. Perhaps our team and fans should go for a ride on the Tube and have a chat...Or at least watch that scene.

Agreed. Apart from the story, the acting was amazing. It was like watching Churchill himself and really brought history to life. It looks like part of it was also filmed at the cabinet war rooms in London which is an amazing place that I would recommend everyone to visit.

I'd never seen Psycho until the weekend. It's good, isn't it?

It's first rate.I'm currently working my way through boxsets of Hitch's older films.

It's fist rate.I'm currently working my way through boxsets of Hitch's older films.

The list of classic films I haven't seen is very long indeed - too long to be honest. But glad to have finally ticked this one off, really enjoyable.

I'm reminded of Lincoln's comment that:- '"People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like."

However,having said that, I'll put my predjudice aside and go and see it some time.The trailer looked excellent as did Gary Oldman (who I've always liked).

I have always thought that Frenzy is his best .

Ha ha that was the one scene in the entire film I had an issue with. Not with dramatic content but no station close to Westminster is a 5 minute journey

Certainly of the later films.Wonderfully dark black humour.

Yes, it didn't happen in reality, apparently.But so what?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Hitchcock?

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Hitchcock?

Yes but it depends if you're talking about actors or not.

Rear Window/The Birds/Vertigo/Strangers on a Train far better IMO

Vertigo is his masterpiece.
