Mark Albrighton Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 I have a mate who once said that he defacto never watched any films that were released prior to The Godfather. Adamant that he’d not seen anything before 1972 and he had no intention of ever doing so. To which I countered “Huh, I guess that Mary Poppins was released later than I thought.” “Well, yeah obviously I’ve watched Mary Poppins, but…” “The cartoon one with the flying elephant with the big ears, that was an 80’s Disney film, wasn’t it?” “Ok, I get your point, but what I’m sayi…” “That Wizard of Oz film…” “You’re such a clearing in the woods, Mark.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant film. Love The Green Butchers by the same director. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 Off to a 'Scream Unseen' tonight at my local Odeon (basically a horror version of Screen Unseen). I have a pretty good record at these blind showings so hopefully this will be something decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Meg 2. Pretty impressive that they managed to make a over the top movie starring Jason Statham about a gigantic shark this boring. No one expects it to be a good movie, but it should be entertaining.Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are missing out on so many superb films. Appropriate I've seen this exchange then as I entertained myself yesterday evening by watching "The 39 Steps" which is nearly 90 years old and still really, really good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
