      Amps fuck knows mate. I have very few classics like this left though. Citizen Kane is one, I have never been able to get through it. Though the last time I tried was a very long time ago. Seven Samurai is probably the next big one I will try to watch at some point. Also The Third Man which I’ve already bought but have not been in a mood to watch yet. Not seen The Dirty Dozen or The Wild Bunch.

      The Great Escape I ended up ordering on 4K Blu ray, I will be rewatching it a lot I am sure. UK label Arrow Video put out a very thorough release last year, snatched it while the limited edition-version remains in print. Here’s what all is included:

          Saw Ad Astra for the first time last week. Was good visually in places, but I couldn’t get passed the fact that absolutely nothing interesting happened. Good idea, awful result.

            303abuser Apocalypse. Now! with daddy issues. I liked it at the cinema, but have not had the slightest temptation to revisit at home. The moon chase was pretty amazing visually though, as was most of the stuff on Mars.

                Homegrove Haha basically.

                Finally finds his dad and it’s so anticlimactic. That was the point where my wife woke up, I filled her in, she said “I told you so” and promptly went back to sleep lol.

                    303abuser lol. Tommy Lee Jones having dementia in a space caravan park basically. ‘see ya then dad, cheers’.

                        Millsy I know I’ve come all the way to Neptune, but fuck it I guess. 😂

                        I still wonder how these scripts get approved and no one asks why there’s no plot at some point.

                          Black Hawk Down (2001). Pregaming for Warfare. This is still one of the most amazing combat movies ever made from the technical perspective. Otherwise is it’s pro military propaganda, but damn do I love this movie. This was my first time watching after upgrading our home theatre to proper surround sound, and man did the sound design in this movie made it money well spent.

                            Homegrove The Dirty Dozen

                            Not a great movie… good fun when you’re a nipper, but not a good movie iirc. Much better stuff like Kelly’s Heroes or Where Eagles Dare are available in this department.

                                  Pretend you’re British: throw it on every Christmas and eat your own body weight in Ferrero Rocher before falling asleep and missing the end.

                                      Amps Where Eagles Dare was a childhood favorite, and I’ve watched it every two or three years since buying it on Blu ray. Still rocks. Same thing as The Great Escape, really long but cut so well it doesn’t feel like it’s long.

                                          Amps Then you can wake up at 11am drink Baileys and constantly eat quality street and nuts …. All whilst you’re still in your dressinggown.

                                                Just bought tickets for 12 monkeys in imax next weekend. Looking forward to seeing it again, it’s been a while.
