Hangover 3.

Not as good as the first but for me better than the second. If you hated the last two then it isnt going to win you over. No hangover in the film as such, instead the wolf pack have to deal with blowback from plots in the first two, mainly the fault of Chow (who steals the film incidentally)

watched Despicable Me with my little brother, he loved it, i'd seen it before and i liked it the first time. I say little brother, he's 26.

Hammer Films

The Steel Bayonet (1957)

Yesterday's Enemy (1959)
Fantastic film. Highly recommended !

There was a Polanski night on one of our non commercial stations, on Sunday night. I watched a doco - 'Polanski - Wanted & Desired', which was excellent. I recorded 'The Tenant' and will watch tonight. Have only seen it once - on the big screen, as part of a horror marathon. Really looking forward to re-visiting it.

I dont usually say much about films i have watched just a group of pictures but wow this is a fantastic film. I didnt know what to expect from it just went in blind i knew it was highly taught of but that was it. I was gripped from the moment it started until the very end. Im looking forward to watching the rest of the films in the Film Noir boxset even more now.

Whats the Blu Ray of this like ? Its well worth a double dip in my eyes.

An all time classic noir. :nod:

Wait till you watch The Big Steal.

Colorized noir. :shocked: :doh:

Im really new to this genre but i think ill be digging right into it now. Any other good collections i should look out for or just films.

Yeah the color had me a little confused.

That set is excellent and features some classics of the genre.

I would also recommend off the top of my head

The Asphalt Jungle
Gilda
Laura
In a Lonely Place
Dead Reckoning
Dark Passage
Murder My Sweet
Touch of Evil

I trust you have The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon already from some of your earlier posts.

Criterion Blu of Kiss Me Deadly...mmmmmmmmm :woot: . . .

Yes i have both those films. Cheers for the suggestions ill keep an eye out for the ones you listed.

Would you really recommend Kiss Me Deadly to someone starting in the field?

All those weird camera angles and as for the plot? :loco:

I would recommend Kiss Me Deadly to anyone who likes SUPER FREAKIN' AWESOME FILMS :tongue1::cool: . . .

Try as i might, i can't really argue with that.

Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past would be another stone cold classic not yet mentioned :nod: . . .

Its in the box set Nordic picked up. :)

Good. Well then why hasn't he watched it yet :tongue1: . . . ?

Cheers SJ i have added that first one to the list :)

So much for going to bed for work in the morning ill watch it now if that makes you happy :tongue1:

:lol:

I demand it. Work shmork . . .

Polanski: Wanted and Desired is a brilliant documentary and compulsory viewing for anyone who has an interest in the rape case which now sees him unwilling to return to the US.I would recommend Kiss Me Deadly to anyone who likes films!

I've heard he has ways of checking Nordic. :spy: :eek:

Is there an echo in here ;)

And yes, I DO have ways of checking. I call it... looking at this thread same time tomorrow night. Don't let me down, Nordicdusk . . .

I saw that. ;)

What are you talking about, you damn loon :tongue1: . . . ?

The Works!! Are they still open??

What you going on about? They're all over the place! The Wolverhapmton one is good - they get a cool selection of graphic novels every now and again. I got both League of Extrordinary Gentlemen books for £2.99 each. Also got Watchmen and Batman: Arkham Asylum from there . . .

This may sound like a stupid question on the wrong thread, but...I fell in love with Veronica Lake's looks...can anybody recommend a few nice films with her (apart from I Married a Witch which I already ordered)?

I'd personally recommend 'This Gun for Hire'. A very good Noir with a decent central performance from Lake.

You can't go wrong with Sullivan's Travels.

Burial Ground aka The Nights of Terror :crazy:

This box set is very good also Play.com - Buy The Film Noir Classics (4 Discs) online at Play.com and read reviews. Free delivery to UK and Europe!

No, sorry Nos, this was way back in my early teens, the BG years (Before Guinness). It may have been called something else but was the same story from the book.

But, then again in the intervening PG years (guess) things may have become messed up in the decaying brain cell dept. and I just read the book as if I was "lucid dreaming".

Thank you all the same for looking.

Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman (1958) :happy:

Watched Cannibal Apocalypse last night, superb FX and superb cheesy 70's soundtrack recommended viewing.

Great cast too :)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

Leatherface reminds me a lot of the monster in The Funhouse in this one. Also funny how Tobe Hooper opted to give the family the name Sawyer in the sequel when there was no reference (at least to my memory) in the first.

I cant say if this was a good film or not because the accents just kept taking me out of the film. No matter how hard i tried i just could not focus on the film its so hard to take it serious with all the German officers being English. Maybe next time i watch it ill know what to expect and pay more attention to the actual film.

Absolutely. That would be something I'd stick on my 'unbearable' list. It's like a big flashing neon sign saying "you are clearly too dumb to watch actual foreign films. Here's a simplified version so you don't have to read" :doh: . . .

My GF kept saying " yes i know you keep saying that over and over " :lol:
