I havenā€™t seen it. I see that Greta Gerwig is in it.

Iā€™ll definitely tape it.

Highly recommend Salt Of The Earth, which is on Talking Pictures tonight @ 12:40am.

ā€œSalt Of The Earth, a powerful film shot on a threadbare budget, mostly with local non-actors, was branded as ā€œcommunist propagandaā€ at the time.ā€

If that doesnā€™t whet your appetite I donā€™t know what will.

Middling week with not much I havenā€™t seen before. Might give the new Tomb Raider a go as iā€™ve heard itā€™s perfectly fine and I naturally gravitate to anything with Goggins. A Fish Called Wanda and The Ladykillers are 2 from the 1001+ Movies book I havent seen so theyā€™re on my list. Also havenā€™t seen 24 Hour Party People in about 15 years so wouldnā€™t mind a re-watch.

FYI: The collection of Sony Movies channels have recently rebranded as ā€œGreat Moviesā€ā€¦

ā€˜Picnic At Hanging Rockā€™ is the big one for me here, been on my watchlist for years.

Wanted to see this for a long time! Result!

I really didnā€™t like it. Iā€™m in the minority but it just didnā€™t work for me. Just found it very dull.

A fine example of the novel being way better than the film.

It had Mrs Mangle in it. That was itā€™s high point.

A modern classic that, for anyone who hasnā€™t watched it, needs to be viewed. Like its predecessor Embrace of the Serpent, the cinematography is just stunning, and, as a whole, is profoundly moving.

Love Ciro Guerraā€™s work.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Great Movies)

Hardly anything unseen sticking out for me apart from Phantom Thread and A Taxi Driver. Donā€™t think the picture quality for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on Great Movies will be good/nice enough - shame as iā€™ve never seen it before.

Raw is well worth a watch and Frances Ha + Mistress America is a nice little double bill on Thurs.

Transendance was laughably bad

It takes a few liberties with the truth, but A Taxi Driver is excellent, powerful stuff

Yeah very high up the ā€œhow can these great ingredients produce something this offā€ list.

#76

Never heard of that channel. Is it notoriously low def?

Crouching Tiger is my all time NUMBER ONE FAVOURITE BEST FILM, you must see it. Everyone should

#77

The Damned United is so, so good. Mustā€™ve seen it six times or more, but itā€™s lovely. I know it was embellished a bit, but I just think Sheen plays the part to a tee and the relationships with Taylor, Revie and Longford are all brilliantly done.

More than that, itā€™s the ground scenes that I love most. They used Chesterfieldā€™s old stadium, Saltergate, as the Baseball Ground, and it looks the part and just sort of feels really nostalgic.
