The old guy who shot himself was clearly the hero.

I’ve never seen Love Actually.

You might have won the thread but I’ve won bigger. :wink:

I desperately want to say The Phantom Menace, but Star Wars was the first film I saw and so is probably responsible for me loving films as a whole, so I can’t really take a fair view on George Lucas curling off a giant shit on one of my favourite memories.
So, I’ll claim The Last Samurai, a peak period Tom Cruise action flick, in which his disillusioned American military adviser finds a new lease of life with the disciplined (militaristic, extremely right-wing) Samurai under Ken Watanabe, and joins their fight against the Japanese government with its modern weapons, warfare, crazy ideas about democracy and whatnot.
At the end, with Watanabe dead and the Samurai beaten, Cruise meets the young, besuited, milquetoast Japanese prime minister (who looks about 15), who haltingly says to Cruise: “Tell me how he [KW] died.” To which Cruise replies: “No, I will tell you how he lived.” To which I replied, out loud: “Oh fuck off.”

To be fair I’ve never seen it since. It felt far too long at the time - nowadays all films are that length. What a world.

Vast majority of films in this thread are just bland, mediocre or boring. They’re nearly all competent or serviceable.

Time to declare I don’t know where this comes from.

(For the benefit of non-football fans, Richard Keys is a sub-Partridge figure of ridicule who fancies himself as an important voice in the game)

Much appreciated.

Wasn’t Keys one of the guys who caught on mic being degrading about a female colleague?

#341

The very same. He now works for Dubai’s sports broadcasting network and spends his time being extremely bitter about his former employers over on twitter.com
