Anyone watched any good movies recently?

[Neil.C]

American Hustle - loved it.

From the long con game to the atrocious '70's fashions and Christian Bales comb over - just great fun.

[markosgr28]

I watched Zero Dark Thirty over the weekend. Brilliant! Like a grown up Homeland, but so much better.

Female director as well, which is unusual for a military film, although she has previous with The Hurt Locker.

I really love this movie!

I enjoyed this one, too

I watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy for the first time the other day and really enjoyed it, great performances all round from some of the best British actors of their generation ( Oldman, Hurt, Cumberbach, Hardy, Firth et al)

[Morning Wood]

Watched the UHD 4K version of Star Trek Beyond last night, I enjoyed the movie, but perhaps just not as much as the previous two efforts, the main baddie was not bad enough.

I disliked the new Star Trek - the plot was like a bad episode rather than a feature film.

A slick Saturday night beer & popcorn thriller - great stuff

I watched it on Amazon this afternoon and have to say that I agree.

Some of the special effects were good but the storyline is poor. OK to watch on the TV but seeing at the cinema would have been very disappointing.

Last night we watched Leonard Cohen - Bird on a Wire on Arte. It's a fly-on-the-wall documentary made in 1974 during a European tour. Good music and the man himself can be a little infuriating at times. Amusing to observe some of the top-drawer totty throwing themselves at him.

Doesn't appear to be available in the UK but just in case you're somewhere it'll play:

[moggi1]

watched 'the arrival' last night and have to say i enjoyed it although the other half had absolutely no idea what was going on and to be fair it does take some working out..

[VoleBoy]

Special Correspondents. Wasn't reviewed very well, but it was really quite good. I like Gervais in almost anything.

[Tooks]

Watched the latest Jason Bourne film last night, sticks to the same formula as all the others, but if you're a fan then a pretty enjoyable couple of hours.

[seadog1408]

Captain fantastic is a really good watch.

Nocturnal animals is an intriguing psychological thriller, beautifully shot. Some great performances. 7.5/10

Doctor Strange in cinema. I was just waiting to finish so I can go...dont like it a all..

[SteveR]

Concussion was decent IMO. Had a spare few hours when the boys were asleep and the house was nice and quiet

[MarkO]

Just back from Hacksaw Ridge - I'm thinking Oscar nomination ( but not win)

One of those where the history of his actions seem so impossible yet documented

[100thmonkey]

If you're a fan then watch Supersonic, great movie

[Neil.C]

In a Lonely Place 1950.

Bogart film noir par excellence.

[SteveR]

I watched 90% of Grimsby today. Good? I'm not sure. Enjoyable in parts, cringe worthy in others. I won't watch it again but I don't think it was a waste of time!

[BluePurpleRed]

I watched the Revenant last night.

I can't say I was a fan. Just didn't do it for me. Its got a amzing cinematography but I just didn't feel awed by it like I was expecting.

[snowman]

I greatly enjoyed "Ole, Ole, Ole" about the recent South American (including Cuba) leg of the Rolling Stones World Tour.

and supersonic was great as well

I watched John Wick last night, not much to think about but damn good fun all the way

Bird on a Wire is available on BBC iPlayer for the 13 days at the time of posting.

Exactly. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a revenge thriller, and it's great IMO. Looking forward to #2.

Thank you - it's good to know I could have watched it without German sub-titles.

[tswatch66]

I love that film - brilliant.

The original TV series with Alec Guinness is even better. Well worth a look.

Sully. Interesting film, didn't realise that the American authorities tried to blame him for loss of aircraft.

I saw it the first time round and again recently.

Two very different takes on the same story.

[Neil.C]

Fever Pitch last night.

Really good story, intertwining Arsenal's seasons in two different times - and a little bit of romance.

[verv]

Ouija - origin of evil was quite decent for a horror.
The kid was creepy as hell.

[mariod]

I watched War Dogs which is very much in the style of Scorsese and it was bloody brilliant.

Just finished War Dogs and really enjoyed it.

[Zolawinston]

I watched the Revenant last night.

I can't say I was a fan. Just didn't do it for me. Its got a amzing cinematography but I just didn't feel awed by it like I was expecting.

I on the other hand was completely amazed, what a film. Will definitely watch it again

[SSTEEL]

Watched Sully recently, directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Tom Hanks, I think it was a good film based on the true story. Another fitm I was recently which I can recommend is Snowden.

[Kocka]

Just finished War Dogs and really enjoyed it.

Agree! Really good movie!

[Kocka]

Moana.
I really enjoy. One of the best Disney movies in a long time.

[Carlton-Browne]

Last night we watched The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

Excellent and quite a few familiar faces in minor roles.

[Grandiloquence]

Watched Rurouni Kenshin last night (free for Amazon Prime members!). Enjoyable samurai flick set in the late 1800s. Subtitled, but don't let that put you off.

[swanbourne]

Just watched a documentary "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" about the American rock band's quest to find a new front man, which they eventually did after trawling through Journey tribute bands on Youtube. The replacement is great.

During the week while on a flight I watched 7 psychopaths again, I thought it was just as much fun on the 2nd viewing as it was first time around.

[964boy]

Just seen The Accountant, thought it was a great watch and Ben Affleck amazing as usual.

Great film.

It's on British TV this week.

[samswatch]

After a raft of poor movies I watched this last night 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' and really enjoyed it.

[Velorum]

I on the other hand was completely amazed, what a film. Will definitely watch it again

I watched this again last week and found it much better the second time around - loads of small details I missed the first time. Its beautifully filmed.

[luckywatch]

Bone Tomahawk. Got an email from Netflix today. Just finished watching it. Its a cowboy, remember Kurt Russel in The Thing? Its an adult movie and a bloody good one................................

[jamesnw]

Watched the Eddie The Eagle film a few weeks ago with my other half, we both enjoyed it.

Easy to watch and funny in places.

[thieuster]

Land of Mine. A Danish movie set just after WWII about young German soldiers who have to clean up Danish beaches from (German) mines. A movie that fits into the Scandinavian 'tradition'. Worth watching and 7.8 on IMDB.

Menno

[Brighty]

Watched 'swallows and amazons' last night, lovely little family film. Odd casting though, seemed to be alot of comedy actors playing straight parts, Harry Enfield as grumpy farmer man, Jessica Hynes as farmers wife, and i'm sure baddy no2 was Angelos Epithemiou of shooting stars/house of fools fame

[pete-r]

I though Rogue One was worthy of the hype. Loved it!
