Movies & TV Sunday Night At The Movies 🎬

[Crimson Azure]

The time has come here in hell to restart a tradition that has been culturally significant to generations of Australia's who had nothing but free to air television, Sunday night at the movies.

The premise: Each Sunday a poster who wants to be part of this will be selected on a rotational basis to select a movie for us to watch. We have a week to watch the movie if and when we can and discuss it in this thread. Preferably we would select a movie that is available on the free to air streaming services such as SBS on Demand, 7 Plus and so on. As most have Netflix or Prime so this is also an option.

There is no obligation, just an opportunity to perhaps have movies suggested to you you might never watch otherwise and do likewise for others. Also the opportunity to discuss the movie and you opinions on it. Anyone welcome to jump in at any time.

My first recollection of seeing a movie was Popeye with Robin Williams at the Monash drive-ins in like 1981.

Anyone watched the long kiss good night yet?

I so want to watch it but don’t want to go too early and have to wait.

Thank you for being Frank and Ernest.

[Gralin]

You guys BMX Bandits is on SBS

 

[JHF1870]

Watched it tonight

You could have told me sooner and I would have chosen something without Jared Leto in it. I could have just done The Prestige.

 

[DERO]

I watched Mr Nobody too. Plus I watched Nobody 2 on a plane just to make sure! One was much much better than the other.

 

[DERO]

Also watched the Long Kiss Goodnight. It holds up ok.

It's fine pick whatever movie you want

I forgot long kiss goodnight was the movie of the week and just put it on randomly

Yeah, I was just joking

I looked up the christmas movies before Crim mentioned and had planned to watch with a few others as this one is on SBS.

 

[Proper Gander]

I watched The Long Kiss yesterday.

One of those movies where it is intriguing just how many times you have to kill somebody in order that they stay dead

 

[Crimson Azure]

Such a 90’s opening credits sequence for long kiss goodnight.

 

[Crimson Azure]

omit are you about, it’ll be your selection for the next movie soon?

If not we can jump to DERO and come back around to you.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Turns out I’m a little disturbed. Mrs Crim has only watched this film like twice but somehow remembers every scene in every line to long kiss good night.

I was genuinely impressed as I’ve not seen anything like this since me with any action movie with Schwarzenegger or Stallone. Or revenge of the nerds and Ace Ventura but let’s set that aside.

I must say the movie won’t win any Academy Awards but it really quantifies a quintessential 80s/90s action movie.

I already loved this, but it really is just a great GIF to accentuate what I was talking about.

 

[DERO]

Want me to pick a film Crimson Azure ?

I have a couple in mind.

Yeah mate, go for it. No one seems to be too interested in discussing the long kiss good night.

And we are probably ready for a new movie.

It is very much a 90s action movie from the guy who made die hard 2 and cliffhanger

I’d like to recommend Souleymayne’s Story but you’d need to pay to watch it. One of the best films I’ve seen in a while (in my opinion of course).

I’m going to suggest a movie that I hadn’t seen before that my GF put on that was better than I thought it would be. The movie is Prisoners.
