What's your favourite film?

@DunningKruger I havent seen these in years. I think a rewatch is due! Thanks 😊

@Firecracker Cabin in the Woods, Identity, and Shaun of the Dead. Instant Classics.
Memento and Inception. Both are really great movies that I never wish to see again. 😁
V is for Vendetta. Didn't do anything for me. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

@Heather139 So haunting. If I’m not mistaken, it was the only role Stanley Tucci’s ever had that he fought to get out of doing and he purposely asked the makeup department to make him as I recognizable as possible to be as detached from the character as he could be.

The Black Phone had the same vibe. Those guys could’ve been neighbors, easily.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart That makes so much sense. It must be difficult to play a role like that and I can't imagine how hard it would be to look at yourself in a mirror. What it must feel like to have to try and get in the headspace of a monster like that

@SensualRomantic I love The Game, Apocalypto and John Wick so i think we must have similar tastes. Adding your other recommendations to the list, thank you :)

@Oneofthestormboys I just watched the trailer. Looks really good, I'll definitely be watching that sometime soon. Thank you 😊

@Heather139 No problem - I didn’t know that it even existed until recently, then I saw it and was thoroughly entertained. Hope you enjoy it too!

@Oneofthestormboys It looks right up my street. Love a storyline where someone is discovering their origin story, so throw that in with a dystopian world and I'm sold.

@SethGreene531 Is the Amateur any good? I have it checkmarked to check it out.

@Levenrack Yeah I'd say so.

Rami's characters are always authentic, and immediately relatable. Whose simple facades belie a fierce and complex indvidual.
This role was no exception.

As much a drama, as an action flick. Layers and plot twists keep you engaged.

And Lawrence Fishburne as his foil was superb casting.

Overall, a good thriller.

@SethGreene531 Alright, thanks

@SW-User This film is great! That ending though 😱😱😱 it'll stay with me for life

@Heather139 I know. It’s one of those endings that sticks with you

@SW-User that movie is awesome

@Thebrokenmale YES! oh my god... i think you're the only person I've ever known who knows this film. Its amazing. I can't understand how everyone doesn't know it

@Heather139 I know I find it a classic I have introduced a few to it

@SpectralMourning I think i saw this when it came out and can remember enjoying it but cant actually remember what happens. Adding it to my list! thank you :)

@Heather139 I should watch it again soon myself. Great film.

@Levenrack i love this film. I always question if I'd sign up to take part if i was offered something similar 🤔

@Heather139 Actually knowing how they fuck with your mind and how far they will go? I'd be ok, I think. But, I always wanted that same shirt he gets at the end. 😁

@Levenrack excellent movie

@Anniedlr That is a good movie.

@Musicman It is indeed a brilliant one 🙂🙃

@Anniedlr When I decided to entirely switch to digital from physical media on Amazon, this was one of the first ones I bought, right along with E.T., and Tombstone.

@hunkalove Just the first one?

@caPnAhab This looks great. I can't believe I haven't heard of it before, thank you :)

@Heather139 no worries. Hope you enjoy, if you decide to see it

@SW-User I'm intrigued! thank you, I'll have a look :)

@SW-User thank you :)

@reubles Oh yeah. Is that the one with Sean Connery, and he says, "Welcome to the Rock!"?
How was that? My Sean Connery impression is on point, no!?!
I think it was pretty good. 🫠

@Levenrack 1979 clint Eastwood movie about the people who escaped Alcatraz. Imagine a really stripped down Shawshank, no existential drama, just pure prison escape goodness

@reubles Growing up, I didn't watch much Eastwood except for Every Which Way But Loose. I remember seeing that a couple of times. But, yeah, I watched more of his later stuff. I remember watching Dirty Harry movies and The Dead Pool. I never cared for the westerns though and I know there are many good ones I need to watch. I'll watch them when I'm retired.

@Patriot96 It always gets such brutal reviews but I've always thought this was a great film. Such an interesting concept

@fun4us2b Thank you. I love kiefer sutherland so thats definitely going on the list :)

@oldgrumpbear looks like a real classic, thank you 😊

@Dino11 that’s a blast from the past.. and Australian right?

@BamPow dont judge me... but I never knew there was a version from 1978! And zombie films are some of my favourites so I feel disappointed in myself! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely have a look

@Heather139 You have to watch it with a forgiving eye if you’re used to the big studio zombie movies and shows. It’s an independent film that was shot at a mall in Pittsburgh during Christmas of 1977 overnights when the mall was closed. It’s George Romero’s second zombie movie and the followup to his 1968 Night of the Living Dead.

I’d recommend starting his movies in order. Night was first in ‘68. Then Dawn in ‘78. Day of the Dead was 1985. He made another one called “Land of the Dead” in 2004, which is a lot of fun. Land was more of a studio production that had more money, known actors, and more polished production. Romero made two more after that, but I didn’t really care for those.

No judgment as far as not knowing. I’m always happy to help someone discover new-to-them movies and music.

@ShenaniganFoodie I'm so jealous you get early release movies. I'd love that. I used to get early copies of books when i worked in a bookshop and it was amazing.
Thanks for the recommendations 😊

@Musicman I just looked it up as I'd never heard of it before and it sounds great. thank you :)

@Heather139 Both the original and the remake are both really good 🙂

@MethDozer A roller-coaster ride!

@MethDozer Classic
