The film thread.

Alien3 - a reasonably regular view. I know it's not popular (probably because Newt and Hicks were killed off), but I love the bleakness that pervades.

I like it.

Shaun of the Dead on 4k. Can't decide whether I prefer this or Hot Fuzz, but both great films.

Hot Fuzz for me.

Hot Fuzz for me.

Hot Fuzz for me too. Not just the better film for me but, I was born in and grew-up near Wells where it was filmed so, I know all the locations and, my mother worked for a number of years in the supermarket, which was then a Somerfield.

Watched the trilogy again tonight. Hot Fuzz gets top marks from me, and Shaun and The World's End both get 9/10.

The Zone of Interest from C4 - mostly excellent, but I'm not entirely sure about how it ended. Will need to rewatch at some stage.

One Life - it'll be on iPlayer- Anthony Hopkins as a stockbroker who organises the rescue of nearly 700 Czech children just as WW2 breaks out. Great performance from him as the man in later life still struggling to come to terms with things.

Suffers just a tiny bit from what often affects films dealing with very sensitive subject matter in that they have a single, very serious tone throughout, but the end is beautiful.

Agreed..and certainly a fine performance from Mr. Hopkins

The Breakfast Club - the scenes where the characters' layers are peeled back are just excellent.

Spinal Tap on 4k - great film, but not worth a 4k purchase I fear.

Saw this at the cinema and was really good. 👍

Halloween (2018) on 4k. I've only seen this and the original - second time of asking for this one. Weirdly, it doesn't end how we remembered. I think it's a pretty good film, and from what I read much, much better than most of the franchise.

As an avid John Carpenter fan (and the original film), I can pick holes in this film all day. Still seen it 9 times 🤣
Although, I think I'll be giving it a pass this year.
