Millsy Yeah, that was one of the rewatches with the kids over lock-down. One of the best films ever mate
Rate The Last Movie you Watched
jonattonyeah seen Spacey a few times at the Old Vic and he absolutely smashed it (not a euphemism). He was particulatly impressive in Moon for the Misforgotten despite the fact he was trying to scuttle at least 10 stage hands and three bar men.
jonattonyeah seven and usual suspects are in my top ten films ever. Was a fan of Spacey. What can I say?

Me as well. What can you say, really? Separate the art from artist and whatever, I guess. And those two were out in the same year. If he didn’t get the Oscar for U.S. I bet he would’ve gotten it for Seven. He’s in like 4 scenes and just crushes all of them. The car scene….he just shits on Freeman (tremendous actor) and Pitt (good actor). Steals the belt.
Now American Beauty is another story. That’s a real rough rewatch given his abhorrent behavior. You’re just, “ahhhhh ehhhhhhh” for 120 minutes.
EDIT and for U.S., apparently Benicio didn’t like his lines nor that he was killed off early so he did his whole mumbling, unintelligible thing in a pseudo-protest. He wins that movie for me. He’s so good. Baldwin is also great “GIMME THE FUCKING MONEY BLALALALALLLA”. You know, Baldwin was offered the Keanu part in Speed but took Biodome (with Pauly Shore) instead. Now I’m rambling but not good job there Stephen.
Nah, Pitt gets beat actor in Seven by a mile. I’m not one to give him credit either.
What’s in the box?
SM001 I wouldn’t need to be asked twice.
Watching Seven after the Spacey-stuff came out makes it even better.
I watched ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou’ over the weekend. I’m not sure what to make of it to be honest? What a strange film that is. I didn’t think it was bad, but then again I’m not saying it was that good either. Clearly had all the Coen quirks to it.
Watched the Truman Show with the kids yesterday… once again they were really sceptical (wanting to watch Spider-Man) but ended up loving it. It’s great having a crap memory - can’t remember what happens in any of these films
I love most Coen Bros movies, The Big Lebowski closely followed by No Country For Old Men for me
Jules72 How bizarre - did the same thing yesterday. Great film that.
LT42 Yup, Burn After Reading has to be in there
Along_the_Wire not one for after the pub
o brother is terrible
