Watched Logan Lucky yesterday. A really, really good movie that was also really uninvolving. Some very funny parts but also very understated. Seemed like the characters were stupid as hell but then cleverly but slowly showed that not to be.

 

Probably about a 7.

Watched Mindhorn last night, quite stupid, but mildly amusing.

I thought The Starving Games was quite amusing.

Any classic lovers in here?

 

And when I say classic I don't mean Resevoir Dogs or even Scent of a Woman.

I'm talking way back.

Nope. Not going to, either. About as far away from the kind of movies I enjoy as it's possible to get, judging by the trailer.

I will take a classic Hitchcock over a lot of stuff nowadays

Classics - a matter of taste, but certainly any student of film should have an open mind.

 

There's a lot of 40's and 50's films being uploaded to YouTube - most are formulaic and everyone is dressed to the hilt  in suits/fancy dresses, and stand posed for the camera and they all frigging smoke! "Cigarette?" is probably the most common opening line in any meeting of two or more people.

 

I just discovered Dirk Bogarde this way, he is kinda like the Brit version of Marlon Brando although most of his films he plays the upper class twit in cheesy scripts, but some (like which I have posted here) I think are quite good for the time.

 

Also Michael Caine's early movies are ace("Zulu" was his first), as with Peter Sellers. (Dr Strangelove, Lolita)

 

Going to re-watch 'Brasil' later   - I have it on VHS but found a 1080 *cough*, only recently realised it was made by the python Terri

 

Talking of which, if you were going to be stuck on an Island and could only take one film to watch, what would it be?

 

I wouldn't waste any time with second thoughts, mine would be "Life of Brian"

Every now and then I would watch an "old classic" but often it is a bit of a struggle for me.

 

The movies from the late 50's and onwards I can often appreciate - watched a few Hitchcock movies recently and they were brilliant.

 

The 30's & 40's, eish, usually my wife would wake me up after the movie and told me what happened... (usually not much...)
