bannedfromHandV Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 The Basketball Diaries (DiCaprio, when a lot younger), never seems to get any airtime any more, not seen it on any channel or platform for at least a decade, perhaps because of the nature of the film and some of the more risqué scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Another DiCaprio but mainly I love it for the extended cast and it's just highly entertaining to me, The Man in the Iron Mask 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one was a proper film, 10 Oscar nominations, won three including best picture and best director. Just the litany of sequels that tarnish the reputation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted March 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2022 I know this'll not be widely agreed with, but... Star Trek V - The Final Frontier Widely regarded as a total catastrophe and an example of why William Shatner should not be allowed to direct. However... Look beyond the budget constraints that resulted in terrible effects, and caused the ending to be reduced in scope to a bit of shouting and a couple of rocks being thrown about, and actually there is a lot in there to like. The interactions between the three main cast members sparkle at times, it can be very funny, it can be moving at others. I don't consider a great film by any stretch because of its problems, but I still enjoy it for the things it does well, and it perhaps deserves a bit more credit than it gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 A Time to Kill (McConnaghey & Samuel L Jackson). The Client (Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones). Mississippi Burning (Willem Defoe, Gene Hackman) All great films and somewhat underrated in my view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, far from great but I have a soft spot for the original and the films. I particularly liked the bit where Scotty says he knows the ship like the back of his hand whilst knocking himself out on a overhead pipe. I like the score too, especially at the beginning whilst Jim is climbing El Capitan, some of the photography is splendid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
