Ha ha, I know what you mean! Jules et Jim is such and obvious choice, preferring as I do other, more obscure (quick google to make sure I’m correct) Truffaut.

Sorry, I meant ‘rosie and jim: the movie’ (tarkovsky). Always get them confused.

Just remembered Die Hard 4.0 / Live Free and Die Hard is one I did REALLY like but which I think everyone else seems to hate.

I liked it more than Die Hard 2. Not sure if I liked it more than DHWAV, they’ve both got their negatives.

I know a lot of people like to cite the ‘ridiculous’ things in DH4: car into helicopter, John on the top of a Harrier jump jet. And to be honest I just wonder if they’ve even watched the previous three films: there’s a bit in DHWAV where he rides a dumper truck on a wave of water and then pops up off the top through a manhole and the original film includes the world’s most conveniently huge air con system and a really useful set of physics around falling fire hoses.

I like it. Might be my 2nd favourite tbh (never liked 3 as much as everyone else seems to, 2 is prettty bad and lets pretend 5 didnt happen).

Never liked DH2 although it’s a masterpiece compared to DH5.

I think as an overall film DH4 is way better than DHWAV, which goes to complete shit when they get off the ship and gave that final act… But Samuel L Jackson and Simon Grubber is an actual villainous villain.

Check out ‘The Borderlands’, if you like hand-held stuff.

I proper love Southland Tales. I have a soft spot for stuff that’s ambitious (even if it fails at that, like this really does) but mainly because it’s just so odd, it’s like a film that exists without any conception of what a film should do.

Also, blood-soaked JT breaking the fourth wall and singing The Killers :sunglasses:
