Movies & TV The Hangar Film Thread

what are the other six?

I gave this some thought, and struggled. I'd have
Star Wars, The Godfather, one of the Batman movies and some others

If you're on a Scorsese kick... avoid Silence. Falls into the "it was long and it was boring but it was my kind of film" category.

I have really high hopes for it, so I hope I'm not disappointed.

Scorsese, Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, religion in film.. has the ingredients to be pretty decent.

What's eating Gilbert Grape is his best performance!

Brilliant performance. Brilliant movie.

 

[Kong]

My favourite Leonardo films (not necessarily rating his performances, because he nearly always carries the film that he's in):

1) The Wolf of Wall Street
2) Django Unchained
3) Inception
4) Blood Diamond
5) Catch Me If You Can
6) The Departed
7) The Revenant

Actually forgot those two. Really enjoyed both. Make it 5.

Have never seen Gilbert Grape. Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

 

[eth-dog]

Inception is probably my favourite. Catch me if you Can right up there too, along with Django Unchained.

It's both extraordinary and infuriating. For my money it works against itself and winds up being more scathing an attack on Catholic doctrine than Spotlight ever was. It's a film that only a Catholic approaching death could make.

Sounds pretty boring.

Give it a go; it's better than it should be

I have a vivid memory of going to my then-gf's place after a uni maths exam, having been a nervous wreck about it for a week and only having 90 minutes sleep the night before. Had planned to conk out immediately, she'd just put this on and I was transfixed for the whole time. Great movie, still need to check out Infernal Affairs though.

3/10 nearly failed a second time

Romance flicks set amongst morbidly obese mothers and mentally challenged siblings just isn't piquing my interest on any level I'm afraid.

Edit: Juliette Lewis also shits me so it's got that going against it too.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Blood Diamond is one of the 7 greatest movies ever and Leo should have one seven Oscars for his performance.

EHH ORR

I seem to really enjoy westerns too and maybe my expectations were a bit higher given the pedigree of the source material but at no time did I give a s**t about any of the characters. It seemed to me just a bog average, run of the mill, modern day action film masquerading as a western. I found Sarsgaard's Bogue character utterly meh as a villain too. Brian Dennehy's Cobb from Silverado and Gene Hackman's Little Bill from Unforgiven - they're great western villains from 'recent' times. It was just as much what they didn't do as what they eventually did that made them so evil. This guy just stands around looking unhinged and angry while his henchmen kill a few innocents. Just do enough so the movie goer can recognise that okay this is the bad guy and that's all you need.

Have you seen the Hateful 8?

 

[Beerfish]

Have you seen the Hateful 8?

Yep. I found it a bit tedious to be honest but it was still far superior something like The Mehnificent 7.

It was on foxtel on the weekend.

I Watched about half and found it pretty violent.

 

[Kong]

I haven't heard much Oscar talk for The Founder, which is surprising.

Lord Nicholson, thoughts on that?

Well it is a Tarantino flick.

Now that looks interesting.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Finally watched The Third Man last night. What are you people on about, it is brilliant. Dat zither score.

 

[Summer Nights]

Batman v Superman is unfairly criticised as a terrible film.

It's easily 4/10 IMO.

I didn't say I hated it! It was just a different film to what I expected. It's a 4/5 film to me.

I've not seen it, however the directors last film was surprisingly brilliant and also got an Oscar shutout.

I don't think people are in the mood for cynical rat cunning in this political climate and that's why a musical will probably win.

4/10's not terrible?

 

[eth-dog]

4/10 is average, mediocre etc. 0-2/10 is terrible

 

[Whispering_Jack]

4/10 is average, mediocre etc. 0-2/10 is terrible

5/10 would be average wouldn't it?
