Snatch -  Brad Pitt and the dog that ate the diamond and the squeeky toy - both performances were sensational

Not online. Haha.

When I first saw Snatch I was pretty young, and it took a couple of viewings to realise that Frankie Four Fingers was Benicio Del Toro and not Brad Pitt. 

 

Not online. Haha.

Totally fair enough.

"Lock Stock and two smoking barrells" The worst film of all time Shizenhuisen!! 

You HAVE to be taking the [censored]!  I'd be interested to hear what you consider to be a great film.

Great Fence Classics include.... Shawshank Redemption, Dirty Harry, 2001 & the more obscure 2010 A Space Odyseys,Raiders of The lost Ark, Million Dollar Baby, Grand Torino, Apollo 13, The Exorcist, Back to the Future and of Recent...Midnight in Paris, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, About Time, Sully, Captain Phillips, and probably the most dramatic "Eye in the sky"

I don't mind the films you have mentioned but i also like the quirky Guy Ritchie produced a couple of crackers.

Hey picket - what's your view on Tarantino films ?

His latest movie was nothing short of trash.

Wasn't his best for sure - but I just think Tarantino is taking the [censored] in his films and this one was no different

I do not think Tarantino has been the same since the success of Pulp Fiction.

Yeah he has had some great films since then but they do not feel quite right.

I thought LS&2SB's was a brilliant piece of circular story telling.  It virtually started a whole new genre of British gangland films that were comically violent like its follow up Snatch, Sexy Beast, In Bruges and so on. 

As for your list of films, most are films I enjoy watching but there are a few I don't get too excited about.  I'm a big Wes Anderson fan though... even though they are not of the same ilk, but as you liked Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (I love that film also... sequel not so much), then you might enjoy The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited.

I've liked just about everything that Tarantino has been involved in... while The Hateful 8 might not be his best, it's still a very good film.  Inglorious Basterds was excellent and Django was very very good... I also absolutely love Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs.  However, a couple of my favourite films that he was connected to but that weren't directed by him are, True Romance and Desperado.

As far as directors go, I think Tarantino is one of the more consistently good, possibly only surpassed by (in my opinion) the Cohen Brothers (although I also place Jarmusch and Herzog pretty much up there as well).

No Country for Old Men is one of my favourites.

As i said he has done some great films since, but to me they seem forced, pushing barriers because it is expected.

Love, love, love it!!! Along with Forbidden Planet and Earth vs the Flying Saucers, that is one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made.

Quatermass and the Pit, agreed, thought one of your favourite sci fi would be Silent Running

Yeah, I'm a big fan of that as well... Bruce Dern was excellent.  I just have a real soft spot for 50's and 60's sci-fi.

Well it's funny how these things happen, but I just turned on the TV to watch some Melbourne Cup day action, and there on Foxtel's TCM channel is "5 Million Years to Earth" (aka Quatermass and the Pit)!  Guess which won out for my viewing pleasure :-)

Just bought the DVD collection of Adam Adamant Lives to sayisfy my soft spot of 60's British TV

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
