Watched The Lost Boys late Friday night. Still fantastic after all these years.

I love that movie, did you you know that there are 3 movies now and it is a trilogy, I learned that a few years ago. But I still think the first one is the best

I did. Just can't bring myself to watch the two sequels. There's a making of book - which I'm under the impression is out of print - which is supposed to be excellent.

I did not know about the book. They are ok the 2 movies but I still think there is to many years between movie 1 and movie 2 and 3. But Corey Feldman is back in the movies :lol: They should have maid them when he still was a kid, I think :?

Appears to be a lot of tragedy connected to the film. Especially Corey Haim.

What kind of tragedy ? :? Corey Haim was fantastic, I miss him as an actor. Other great movies with him that I remember is License to Drive, Silver Bullet, Watchers, Murphy's Romance and Lucas. Lucas is one of the best movies I have seen with him.

I'm a big Michael Mann fan and I caught his highly underrated film Manhunter on TV the other night. I've seen it many times before but it's one of those films I cant sit and happily watch again and again. I have seen the inferior Ratner re-make and it's not a patch on this. The atmospheric soundtrack is worth watching for alone.

I have Manhunter on dvd and I have seen it maybe 2 times but it is many years ago, maybe I should watch it again. I remember it as a great movie

Watched "Eagle Eye" on Saturday night, sat in my camper in Northumberland, the weather was **** so stuck a DVD on.

Thought it was a decent film, edge of the seat stuff and worth a view.

Also stuck "The Assignment" on but fell asleep part way through

 

[2stripes]

Watched Tenet at the cinema the other day. Pretty good, but for a Christopher Nolan film, maybe I'd come to expect a but more.

Losing my wedding ring half way through the film didn't help, couldn't find it until the end, was worried I'd really lost it!

 

[theforceuk]

Just watched Enter the Dragon, what a classic! Not sure why its taken me 40 years to see it. 10/10

 

[Pomse2001]

Not long ago I saw Lensman, it had been years since I last saw it and I first saw it in the early 90s when I was a kid. Awesome japanese anime movie with great space battles and fantastic music. The only sad thing is that there never came sequel. There are so many fantastic japanese anime movies out there and many of them does not have a sequel

Another japanese anime I have seen lately is Grave of the fireflies, a movie about late ww2 it is a very sad movie and I can't recommend small kids to watch it. But it was fantastic but I must admit I did not like the end of the movie.

Grave of the Fireflies is an incredible film , but as you say its incredibly sad, but one of the best anti-war films ever made in my opinion. I've loved Studio Ghibli films for years and managed to convince the wife to watch them all together recently.. apart from this one. I described the plot upfront and she's decided its too sad and doesn't want to watch it.

I think it was fantastic but because it is so sad then I will maybe not watch it again. I agree Studio Ghibli makes fantastic movies. I have not seen all of them yet.

I have seen Ronja, the Robber's Daughter from Studio Ghibli, it was a really great tv series. So great that they could have made more episodes than they did.

I also think My Neighbour Totoro is really funny and again amazing

Ponyo is also really funny.

Laputa - Castle in the Sky was amazing but I had hoped for a better end and they could have made a sequel, I think many of the movies they have made could have had a sequel.

Howls Moving Castle again fantastic and the end was really great but the movie was also funny. But it could also have had a sequel have you seen any of this movies ?

 

[2stripes]

Yeah I have most of them on BluRay, think I've seen them all. They're all great really but "Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind " would be my recommendations.

I haven't seen that TV series, Ronja actually so I'll be sure to track it down, thanks!

I also have Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind I think they are great so great that they again could have made a sequel

I can recommend the tv series Ronja it is really great and funny, you have to see it.

Have you also seen Kiki's Delivery Service ? damn it is funny :lol:

Only Yesterday is also really great do you know that one ?

and Porco Rosso, that flying pig is really funny :lol:

I still have some on my want list that I want to see it is

Pom Poko
Whisper of the Heart
The Cat Returns

Have you seen any of them ? and if yes are they good ?

 

[2stripes]

Yeah I have seen all of them, all good in their own way, maybe Kiki's Delivery Service would make my top 5. I have watched it a few times recently as my youngest enjoys it and it makes for a good Sunday film to watch with him.

When Marnie Was There, From Up on Poppy Hill and The Wind Rises are a few later ones that are probably more aimed at Adults. Not because of the content or that they are unsuitable for kids as such, just that they probably wouldn't hold their attention. I really enjoyed these though, it seems the animators and writers, became more introspective as they grew older and wanted to write more about real life and less about fantasy. I'd recommend all 3 of them as a slightly different experience, but still with that same Ghibli quality.

 

[2stripes]

I watched this on youtube the other day and as a sci-fi film, for its time it was really good. By chance Mark Kermode was reviewing it a couple of days later saying how it was ahead of its time and shouldn't be classed as a B-Movie. Also has a quick scene with a young Michael Caine, instantly recognisable as soon as he spoke.

I have also seen this 3 movies and I also thinks they are amazing. I agree kiki would make top 5. Last week I found Ocean Waves in a shop that sell used movies. I think it was good, but not one of the best anime movies I have seen and it is not a movie for kids I think.

I have never heard about that movie, I really like michael caine but it looks like he has a very little part in the movie. Maybe I should watch it one day

Last film I watched at the Cinema was Empire Strikes Back last Saturday!

Booked tickets as soon as I saw it as it was on my bucket list to watch it at the cinema. Just a fantastic experience.

Watched it with my 14 year old lad and then spent the trip home arguing that no, "Revenge of the Sith" isn't better... even if it has more Jedi's.

What's this "Revenge of the Sith" thing? There are only 3 SW films. Shrugs his shoulders in bemusement

 

[Pomse2001]

Yesterday I saw Puppet on a Chain, I think it was really great and I must admit I was surprised about who some of the bad ones was in the movies when it got revealed.

But son...you see... you're not 44 years old, so you just don't get it... those are models...none of this cgi *****.

To be honest I probably got on his nerves whispering the lines at him.

That and stealing his popcorn once I finished the nachos.

Just recently rewatched the Michael Caine/Lewis Collins Jack The Ripper film. I remember being allowed to stay up and watch this as it was a school night. I really enjoyed it and as a Ripper fan thought it was far superior to the awful From Hell. Incidentally the graphic novel of the same name is a superb read. Well worth checking out
