Following on from the enjoyable thread about rubbish books,
Was wondering what really hyped up films you have seen and thought , what was so great about that. Mine are The Favourite Groundhog Day Lost in Translation Cannot think of any more at the moment but I’m sure there are quite a few more.
And the remake of ‘Far from the madding crowd’ why? Or the remake of Great Expectations.. In fact I can’t really think of any ‘remake’ which is as good as the original..
Tinf1 I do watch some of my favourite films lots of times. I have lost count of the number of times I have seen Some Like It Hot, my all-time favourite film. I have also seen Withnail And I and The Big Lebowski several times.
The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby are films that I can watch repeatedly. Cary Grant was in both of them and he was lovely.
I can’t stop myself watching Pretty Woman whenever it’s in TV. Escapism, gorgeous clothes etc etc
Can't bear anything with Jack Black, Nicole Kidman, irrespective of the subject. They are both atrocious actors and I can't differentiate between them and the role.
Agree with so many of the posts. I went to see Nicholas Cage in a film called Mandy. It was the worst film I have ever seen in my life. A biker gang kills his girlfriend and he takes his revenge. That makes it sound reasonable! It was the biggest load of tosh, filmed badly and in an assortment of odd colours and angles. Afterwards it’s the first time I’ve been to the cinema where all the audience spontaneously started speaking to each other about what an awful experience we had just been through. There should have been trauma councillors there!
