I recently put up a Film thread on GN and was pleased to find other filmgoers, so I am starting a regular thread about films I or You have seen.

We now have an Everyman cinema in our town and I have become an avid filmgoer again.

They had a throwback film on today ‘Singing in The Rain’ with Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor. It was brilliant. 💃🕺🕺

Glad you enjoyed Elvis Terribull.

I am now waiting for Peaky Blinders, which has just been released.

My son went to see Peaky Blinders and loved it

Been to see the Immortal Man (Peaky B's) today, it was gripping.
I've seen Elvis, thought it was well done and showed just how difficult his life was.
I've seen Wuthering Heights and loved it. We have an Everyman in local Town a Vue another local town and a great place no so far away that has a small cinema attached that feels like your personal cinema, we are usually on our own there or sometimes with one or two others!

I’m waiting for the Peaky B film to arrive in our town. I don’t have Netflix.

Has anyone seen any of the films that were Oscar nominated? Apart from the Marty film I hadn’t heard of any of them. I’m out of touch since I stopped going to the cinema.

Yes, I've seen Marty Supreme, Hamnet and Bugonia. Marty Supreme was really entertaining, TC was incredible in the table tennis shots but it was probably a tad too long. Hamnet was beautifully photographed, fabulous acting and very affecting, I loved it. Bugonia was violent, funny in parts and had a message and very "different". I enjoyed them all but the film I've enjoyed most recently was H is for Hawk, which was nominated for a Bafta and the one I wish I'd seen was " I Swear" but I was abroad when it was being shown locally.

I loved the book H is for Hawk and also the documentary about it. I’m beginning to think that Timothee Chalamet is a very good actor but a very shallow person now he seems to be a Kardashian. I found the Oscars ceremony quite boring and the comedian compère not at all funny. I thought at first that he was Robin Williams long lost brother.The supposedly amusing sequence at the end in which they gassed him was rather distasteful imo.

I loved Hamnet. Favourite this year, Epic, Elvis Presley.
