Rate The Last Movie you Watched

Along_the_Wire

Check out this film on MUBI: South

Gonna watch this later, but posted it so you could read the reviews - the pretentiousness is properly off the charts - what a bunch of cunts.

LT42

The Block Island Sound

Not the worst, not the best, not anything really. Had potential and then just fizzled out.

ArchimedesQ

Not a movie a mini-series on BBC IPlayer - Behind Her Eyes - 2 episodes in - pretty good so far, gonna be some dark shit revealed pretty soon.

C_J I would put Tenet up there with the worst films I’ve ever seen. I had two proper goes at it and couldn’t get beyond the halfway mark.

I found the problem was it made no sense e.g. Why aren’t they talking backwards with subtitles/ How can they see if light moves away from their eyes? If blood flow is reversed through their lungs giving them oxygen won’t save them etc.- unlike Interstellar where the premise was feasible. I saw it in the Imax and about 2/3rds of the way through started treating it like a Fantasy genre film instead of Sci-Fi. Then it was mildly watchable, but definitely the least enjoyable iMAX experience I’ve had.

Wasily yeah it made no sense to me either but necessarily for the conceptual reasons you highlights. For me it was more about the way it was put together. The editing. The casting. There was no flow. It was just a series of boring, pointless, disconnected scenes.

Nolan had a great run, he was bound to release a turd at some point. Didn’t like it either.

WarGames is on C4. One of the first films I saw at the cinema and thought it was incredible. Not looking so good now, if I’m honest.

Homegrove

Along_the_Wire not seen that since the 80s. One classic that is not available on any streaming service here.

You can add “Pump Up The Volume to that”. They cannot clear the soundtrack. Apparently nobody really knows who owns what. Lost to the ether.

Thats a fucking cracking film. I haven’t seen that in years. Was it horny Harry hard on?

Phil-McRackin

I have the VHS of that in the loft

It has an unreleased Beastie Boys track.

Leon…90’s Jean Luc Besson film about a hit man befriended by a 12 year old, whose family has been killed by corrupt police officers. Bordering on suggestion of paedophilia at times, but stays onside…. and is otherwise a touching and quirky watch. Not too sure a director would get away with a film with these undertones these days though. 8/10

Along_the_Wire

Surely everyone’s seen Leon? That’s a basic requirement to post in this thread

Jules72

Along_the_Wire Sorry boss! Saw it years ago of course but was another film I’ve gone back to….

Which other Besson films are must-watches btw?

Millsy

I watched a film called ‘Star Wars’. Decent film with some good special effects for the time. Quite a complex plot about a father ina fetish suit who tries to get his son, Luke, to take over the family business. There’s this wise cracking chap in a spaceship who has a pet bear and he tries to stop Luke having sex with his sister. One of those films you have to see for yourself really.

Millsy LOL

I watched a jolly old romp called ‘A Serbian Film’….

Homegrove

Leon is fine as long as you only watch the theatrical version. Director’s cut gets problematic when you know the director has a habit of ditching girlfriends, wifes, and upgrading to a younger model (literally) when the current one gets too old.

Homegrove and the current ones tend to get too old at 30
