Films you've watched recently.

[Tangled up in Blue]

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

 

[Medway Blue]

Really enjoyed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

It did nothing original and won't win any awards, and certainly wasn't the best of Indy's outings, but it did what I needed it to do. A good story, great action (inc. the very first scene), and a good shot of nostalgia and fan service. Way better than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull too.

The final act was a little too far fetched perhaps, but I can overlook that.

The de-aging/deep fake technology is getting better and better but there is a lingering coldness in the eyes.

I find Phoebe Waller-Bridge to be really, really likeable.

7/10.

Can anybody help? I am looking for a vintage British film (1950's?) about a man on a train who looks out and thinks that he sees a murder in a house.

Does anybody know the title?

Did you find the movie??

Sounds similar to the plot of the Hitchcock film, Rear Window ?

I saw this last night.......Direct from 1957.

Thanks....Sadly not "Rear Window"---The film that I saw was a British one.
I saw it years ago online....Sadly I simply cannot remember the title.

So bad that it was highly entertaining!

The Unknown series on Netflix, fascinating stuff.

Watched that about the search for undiscovered Egyptian Pyramids, indeed fascinating stuff.

A very early Jack Nicholson film.......

 

[Jacob Sladder]

Just watched Le Mans 66. based on the true story of Fords effort to win Le Mans, against the might of Ferrari. Good film BUT Christian Bale's brummie accent, as Ken Miles, felt about as authentic as Dick Van Dykes cockney "Gaw bloimey Mehwy Poppins". Shame.

Very interesting........

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Paul Shraeder's stylish,psychological thriller Master Gardener yesterday.Perhaps not my normal sort of fayre but well worth a couple of euros.A word or two about Signouney Weaver.She doesn't get her kit off in this one.Not quite. But at her -ahem-age -there's clearly a future for her playing Bette Davis/Joan Crawford type roles (as she does here).

I feel a burst of "Baby Jane" coming on!!

That was of course the film I was referring to indirectly .SW could play that sort or role easily for the rest of her career if she wantsd to.Personally I hope she won't.She much too subtle an actress for that And much as I admire Robert Aldrich's films I doubt if anyone ever called them subtle.

Here is a film that I saw earlier......

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

In the Dorset deluge yesterday we visited the Bovingdon Tank Museum which then led to us 'renting' out 'Fury' on Amazon Prime yesterday to continue the theme ... what a top movie that is.
