The Film and Television Thread

[Orange Box]

If you like horror, or suspense, I recommend A Quiet Place, and A Quiet Place 2

Brilliant movies, well directed by John Krasinski, who you'll know from the US version of The Office, as Jim.

Again, not for those of a nervous disposition

Not a film I could watch again, not because it was poor, it was brilliant, but it scared me sh*tless.So I’ll pass on QP2,thanks

Second one was better and even scarier OB, just quaff a few single malts and you'll be reet

Yeah, plenty of good jolts in it, I think the second one is better than the first.

Lennox Lewis: the Untold Story(Released last November)

Having drifted away from heavyweight boxing for a long time now...watched the above film tonight, if you love or ever loved boxing definately worth a watch...It reminded me just how great a boxer he truly was, he had it all.

My fav boxing pic is Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe, his best film imho.
Hard Times with Charles Bronson is also on my fav list, bit dated but another classic.

[The Subhuman]

A Good Year would probably be my favourite Crowe..

A Good Year would probably be my favourite Crowe..

Don't think I've seen that one.

Of the ones I have seen my top 5 Crowe films would be :-
1. Cinderella Man
2. 3.10 to Yuma (I do like westerns)
3. A Beautiful Mind
4. Gladiator
5. Master & Commander - Far side of the World

[Orange Box]

I can highly recommend GONE BABY GONE (Netflix) directed by Ben Affleck and starring his brother Casey, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman. Set in Boston it follows the disturbing investigation of the abduction of a four year old little girl and from the very off I couldn’t get the case of Shannon Matthews out of my head.
The film is no-frills, dirty, gritty and likely to have your jaw dropping in disbelief at the reality of some of the the supporting characters. I’ve never been to Boston, but I’ve seen all of those characters in the worst council estates Leeds and Bradford has to offer. They aren’t pretty.
I’m not giving away the ending (obviously) but you’ll find yourself tearing your moral code book in half.
If I had one criticism of the film, some of the dialogue is difficulty (read nigh on impossible) to understand, but that doesn’t matter, the gist is horribly obvious.
I watched it late last night, and didn’t have a comfortable sleep.

I watched this quite a few years ago OB and really enjoyed it, so will watch it again.

Similar to this, and quite harrowing is Prisoners.

Also Gone Girl is great and stars Ben Affleck.

Raging Bull is the greatest boxing movie for me.

WRB for the westerns, the remake of True Grit by the Coen Brothers was great, as was Hostiles.

[hector]

what is WRB?

Oh.... I thought it was the initials of your favourite western film....

The John Wayne Western I'd love to see a remake is The Searchers.

The John Wayne Western I'd love to see a remake is The Searchers.

But why remake what is already timeless perfection? Just asking as a fan of westerns myself.

Dennis Lehane's excellent book ... One of the better book to Film translations and Mystic River may be better
