Started watching Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines. What a fantastic cast - why have I never seen it before? Any film with Tony Hancock and Willie Rushton, Benny Hill and Gordon Jackson is a sure-fire hit.

Remarkable performances by all actors involved and the movie does clearly show how it must have been back then... Not for the faint of heart, yet a must-see.
Exactly what I was going to say. It left me with that hollow feeling, shock mixed with joy for the depths and heights man can reach. One of the finest films I've ever seen, the one that put Spielberg up among the best directors ever, and one I'll never watch again, except to show it to someone who hasn't seen it.

Not to mention all those wonder replica airplanes (all powered by Volkswagen engines).

I forgot to mention those, seems to be the inspiration for your model thread.

I've yet to see either one.

I want to though. My favorite gangster movie up to this point is Goodfellas.

The two I've made reference to are worth watching IMHO.

I think my Dad's got The Untouchables somewhere. I'll give it a watch eventually.

Last night, I found the time to watch Destination Tokyo again.

I love that movie!

Saw (most of) Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 this afternoon, it was ok, mostly for the foodimals. I say most of as there was one or two moments where I may have closed my eyes, but I was listening, I swear.

Just watched SAW VI. As a series goes this is still enjoyable for me, if a little predictable. Only one more to go. I think the butler done it!

Bill Hader IMHO is one of the most talented SNL cast members of the decade.

Shame he left the show...but he's the main character in the Cloudy movies.

Saw the first one... Didn't need to see the rest because they all go the same way.

A movie so bad, even "Honest Trailers" can't pull through...



I had to force myself through this pile of dung. Sure someone on this planet will like it... I mean after all even Pearl Harbor has some fans... *cough*

Started watching Now You See Me last night, nearly half way through and so far it's brilliant, and of course has the lovely Isla Fisher.

TBH I wasn't overly impressed
