Film 18

Beirut. About the troubles back in the 70’s in war torn Lebanon as the Muslims and Jews wage battle. Intense, credible and well acted.A good 8/10.

Not a fan of musicals but watched the greatest showman the other day and thought it was bloody brilliant fair play to Hugh Jackman thought he was superb in it

[Maccy Blue]

Thought I would bring this back to life.....

Ok - good film I thought was Bohemian Rhapsody - but I have always loved Queen's music and paid an interest in their history etc, so it really interested me. So I am probably a bit biased.

Not a fan of films based around music so Bohemian Rhapsody was a bit of a trek into that territory for me. But it was outshone by A Star Is Born. Thought that was excellent. Superb performances by the two starts, Gaga and Cooper.

Another film I liked but won't appeal to a lot of folks was the House With a Clock In It's Wall. It was a bit unsure if it was a kids film trying to appeal to adults or the other way around. But it was very watchable and worked well in my opinion. A bit like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - bit odd in places but likeable.

And finally the best film I have seen for a while is The 12th Man. I love war films with a an emphasis on the underdog. This is slow in places so don't expect action all the way. Another good one from a while back was Max M**** - similar kind of story. This was well done and kept me gripped.

Well done Maccy. You did well to find this thread deep in the bowels of this messageboard.
Saw Calibre on Netflix tonight. Two City boys go deer hunting in the Scottish Highlands with disastrous consequences. It’s tight. It’s taut. It’s well acted. Worth watching. A good 7.5/10.

Evil Genius 4 part documentary was a decent watch, if somewhat disturbing at the same time.

They don’t make loons like the Americans.

Watched bird box as everyone is banging on about it. Didn’t find it scary but still enjoyed it. Sandra bullock is good in it. And smoking for 58!

No probs. The Max ones is more of an action film. And both based around true stories.

The 12th man , what an amazing film
Miracle he survived , so many close calls
Quite emotional at the end
never will I moan about my ingrowing toe nail again
Onto the the next one

Another decent, low budget war film worth a watch is Saints and Soldiers - the first one, the others are crap. The acting isn't amazing but it is pretty good as a film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373283/

Another really good film from a bit of a different angle is Days Of Glory - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0444182/ - the French Prsident at the time was so moved that he awarded medals to the Algerians who fought for France.
