Re: The Movie Thread
I always thought Die Hard With a Vengeance was the best. The third one i think.
Watched Deliverance earlier and Gran Torino at the weekend. First time i'd seen Gran Torino and thought it was superb.

I found Deliverance highly overrated, if it wasn't for the rape scene would anyone remember it. Saw The Warriors last night, quite good
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Re: The Movie Thread
None of my mates really rated Gran Torino but i thought it was superb. Im a big fan of Eastwood the director, he really knows how to tell a story. If you've not already seen it i'd suggest 'Crazy Heart' which is a helluva film and Jeff Bridges is tremendous in it.Undertaker wrote:I always thought Die Hard With a Vengeance was the best.

Think the first Die Hard is the best but they're all good.

Re: The Movie Thread
Watched Saving Private Ryan last night..really good but so sad at the end!
wish I started watching it before 12am though! It's a long film..went off at nearly 3am, was shattered today because of that!
It was quite gory at points I thought, but excellent..
I'm thinking about getting the Bourne films, shall I get them all or just the first one? Do they get better or worse as they go on?

I was lead to believe that it was a "kickass vengeance" film where Clint's character kicked off in a similar way to Michael Douglas' in Falling Down, but was pleasantly surprised when it almost bordered on bitter sweet comedy in places. I knew it had to turn ugly eventually but was really wishing it wasn't.

Re: The Movie Thread
In a similar vein as Gran Torino, Harry Brown with Michael Caine is quite good.
As for the Bourne films, the first one is the best but you've gotta watch em all anyway.

Re: The Movie Thread
^Nah, I dont understand how they work.
I'd rather buy them and add to my dvd collection.
Has anyone seen The Party (Peter Sellers)? Is it any good? It sounds funny...
Also, Awaydays?
