What is the last film you watched?
 
My latest film I watched was Pretty Woman last night, with the classy Julia Roberts. Its been over 10 years since I saw this but its a brilliant time-less movie.

Captain & Commander, has some of the best old cannon clearing, loading & firing sequences I've ever seen, and some of the fighting scenes are the most aunthentic on films to date. That film is based on the real life of a British Sea Captain, who also had several more adventures than the one shown on film.

Jumper, a film about a young lad who has the ability to teleport to a place he has pictured in his mind.

It was on late the other night, I'm thankful that Schindlers list was not on or I'd be up until the wee small hours watching it again. :)

Totally agree! We have it recorded and have watched it several times since it was shown on TV. Well acted and well put together. I prefer this to the Kate Winslett film Enigma, although that's pretty good too.

The film was based on real events. The Mike Jackson character in the film went to Accrington Grammar School in the 1960s.

Was down with daughter & family over C'mas, don't watch many films, but we watched DVD of Eddie the Eagle.... really enjoyed it, & the guy who played Eddie had him off to a 'T'

Also, grandson had box set of Game of Thrones, & we watched first couple of episodes.....
a bit gory, but wouldn't mind watching rest sometime, when I have another 58 hours or so to kill!

Apparently before he became friend of the Jews he was actually a Nazi sympathizer...

One of best films I've seen in last few years that stands out is "Ex Machina" about some genius A.I. guy who creates robots who sets up this student in a test to see how he gets on with a female robot and it all goes very wrong.

Re: What is the last film you watched?
 
Being tucked up in my cabin last night on the ferry (being a good lad & avoiding the bar), channel flitting I came across "Eaten by Lions", it can only be a British production & more so coming out of the North West of our fair Isle.


In the vein of "East is East", but more up to date being released & filmed in 2019 as opposed to being set in the 70's.Typically British take on our society & its evermore continued blurring of accepted norms & the expansion of multi racial families as standard.


Still all that apart, quite a pleasant & amusing diversion for about an hour or so, I'd happily recommend it as a watch. :)

So working on that theory...

Roy Rogers triggered his career on a G string?
And there was me thinking he only played his guitar as he headed into the sunset, not when he rode into town and shot up the sheriff!

Just watching the 2007 version of 30,000 leagues under the sea, sex discrimination raised it's head within the first ten minutes two officers one male the other the 'weaker' sex, identical uniforms except...

He had his shirt buttoned all the way up apart from the collar showing just a hint of his white T shirt beneath.

She shirt unbuttoned to half way down showing no T shirt but instead an ample bosom.

All I can conclude is that service men are obviously more sensitive to the cold needing the extra layer for comfort and service woman are not only made of sterner stuff but need their clothes half off to disperse the extra heat they generate.

Or she's some sort of flashing perv and should not be in a responsible position if she can't control herself.

By the way wasn't the original story by Jules Verne 20,000 leagues under the seas?

Bit of a novelty that, they're usually going on about being cold all the time, unless they're in the middle of their mentalpause! :rolleyes:
