Films you've watched recently.

Tried to watch Naked (1993 Mike Leigh). Got halfway through and finding it tough going. I’ll stick with it and maybe have the G&Ts flowing for the remainder.

Not to be confused with another film called Naked which is a dire attempt at humour in the mode of Groundhog Day. Avoid at all costs.

David Thewliss is great in it though.
 
Watched “The Father” last night. Excellent portrayal by Anthony Hopkins as an elderly dementia sufferer struggling with life while be supported by his daughter (Olivia Colman). Takes a little getting used to until you realise you are seeing everything from the old man’s perspective but a very good watch. Might be a tough watch for someone who has dealt with dementia sufferers though. 5/5
 
This remake is in the pipeline apparently!!

Also watched The Hippopotamus based on a Stephen Fry novel. Wife hated it but when it finished I realised that I'd actually enjoyed it a lot. Roger Allam is excellent value, as always.

Had 2 recent flights to NY & back, & watched 4 films, which as i don't have Netflix or anything else, was a bonus. My ratings as follows.
1917, enjoyed it but wouldn't watch again.
Bullet train, thoroughly enjoyed it, would happily watch again.
A man called Otto, liked it, might watch again.
Top Gun Maverick. I've never seen the original Top Gun, but thought this was good & would watch again.

I would certainly see 1917 again (as I did when it was on the box recently and thoroughly enjoyed it) .Can't say I've seen or would be interested in) any of the other films you mentionapart from A man called Otto,which I certainly enoyed and would probably see on the box again.

Loved 1917 but yea I agree it’s a one time only film
top Gun Maverick has a lot of callbacks - it’s so much better having seen the original beforehand
