Movie & TV thread...

The Untouchables was a good movie back in the day.

Sean Connery nails that movie.

....but that hasn't aged well.

Nobody wants to mention Waterworld?  >

It's OK...
Probably a poor man's Mad Max.
The problem with it was the cost and pre publicity was such that the film was 'talked down' as a box-office flop before it even got going.
It's a bit like the Postman.
It appeals to some.

Field of dreams was good on first viewing too.

....but i think thats it. The more you watch his movies (for me at least) the less interesting they become. There is no 'repeat viewing excitement' from majority of his movies for me.

I can watch a Tarantino movie a 100 times.....Kubrik movies 1000 times....and still get something out of it.
I'll watch some movies for specific actors/actresses.....repeat viewings and all....

Costner....barely gets a 2nd viewing. When it does, its almost always disappointing.

My favourite movie of all time is probably John Wayne's 'The Searchers'.

Ain't it strange ... I hated it.  "The cowboys" I thought was his best.

Yep...its like we said before, some we'll find common appeal others we'll disagree upon.

Boy, I like this thread. I often ask people their suck-in movie. This is not necessarily their favourite but the one that comes on and keeps you sucked in until the end. Even though you've watched it a zillion times. For me it's Shawshank. I will deliberately avoid the channel it's on for fear of being "sucked in". Love it.

I was the same. Having now watched it about 15 times, I think I've finally expunged it from my system.

Shawshank is an easy 'out'.

I'll give you a few....
Seven
Silence of the Lambs
Beverly Hills Cop trilogy (Eddie is so good)
and a more leftfield one....
Before Sunrise.

For me the sucked in movies are:
All the Jason Bourne movies
All the Daniel Craig Bond Movies
Stepbrothers

The Magnificent Seven .... and James Coburn ("Brit") with his 11 lines in the entire film.

Musta seen it 30 times.
