It wasn't until sometime later that their criticism has been reconsidered and repealed.
Old sci-fi movie about Giant ants in New Mexico, One of my favourite old
monster movies. :)
Finally got around to watching it, and it was pretty damn good. A little slow at times, but Scheider and that brilliant, fast-paced car chase beautifully makes up for it. I like the comparisons to 'The French Connection,' considering it has the same actor, director, composer, etc. I was waiting for a similarly ominous ending (akin to 'The French Connection'), but what we got was just as interesting. The shot of Scheider blasting out of that house and taking off after the burnt henchman on foot was a good one, as is what comes next.
THEM is a true classic. Don't ever watch that awful EMPIRE OF THE ANTS unless you want to laugh your brains out. THEM is the one that matters.
Kingdom of the spiders.
Another Hitchcock masterpiece. A slower first half, but from "Madeleine's" death onwards, it doesn't put a foot wrong. It always impresses me how wonderfully shot SF is in this film.
1) REAR WINDOW
2) NORTH BY NORTHWEST
3) VERTIGO
Once upon a time in the West every time I watch this masterpiece my first thoughts are, is this the greatest film ever made.

Just seeing that title and I here the harmonica in my head. :)
Bronson looked badass without that 'stache!
Great pick. Rio Bravo is perhaps in my top 3.
Written, starred in & directed by the director of Iron Man!!!!
****
One of the best superhero movies ever.
"This is really heavy."
Awesome. \m/
Bruce Almighty (2003)
Mostly a Jim Carrey show, unfortunately. Pretty awful and unfunny.
Evan Almighty (2007)
Carell as the lead in this, which in itself was an improvement, and the movie isn't quite as bad, either, but still, well... it's bad.
Horton Hears A Who! (2008)
Carrey and Carell as well, but the movie is animated. Not good, either.
Get Smart (2008)
A silly spy comedy that isn't funny.
Dinner For Schmucks (2010)
Looking at the wonderful title sequence with mouse panoramas at the start I was thinking "I bet it will go downhill from here, then." Pretty much that, yeah... Why does Paul Rudd get movie work? Lead roles even? Geez. He reminds me of Ben Affleck a bit, but is worse.
Hope Springs (2012)
The couple (Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones) whose marriage isn't what it used to be, and they end up trying marriage counselling (the doctor is played by Carell). Surprisingly serious and further than mere surface chitchat on the issues. Still, felt a bit lacking for me somehow. A good effort though, considering the subject.
Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World (2012)
A pretty serious fair this one, but kinda weird, and wasn't, imo, believably executed... starting from the writing.
Continuing with Cillian Murphy's work, too ...
Broken (2012)
When all sorts of **** happens and several people are horrible to each other and the rest are trying to survive... Depressing and sort of terrible a lot of the time, but actually a pretty good movie. A good cast - young Eloise Laurence, Tim Roth, Murphy, etc. - to my surprise even Rory Kinnear was good.
Peaky Blinders season 1 + 2 (each 6 episodes)
A good series with a big and excellent cast, Murphy as the lead. Also has Helen McCrory, Sam Neill, Annabelle Wallis, Tom Hardy & Charlotte Riley, etc.
Watching The Detectives (2007)
Well... Lucy Liu was annoying and the movie is not that great, but it was watchable.
Sunshine (2007)
A sci-fi thriller directed by Danny Boyle, written by Alex Garland. Some of it looked very good - some did not, but oh well... The story was okay, if somewhat too familiar in many ways. The cast was pretty uneven. Very relieved that Murphy's character didn't get killed off early on - he was the most interesting one and he's a proper actor. Some of the others... well, let's say I was quite pleased about one casualty; I literally thought "good riddance" - I can't imagine how that guy ever got cast in the first place, he was embarrassingly bad, whatever his name was.
Sunshine (1999)
A historical drama about generations of one Jewish family in Hungary. Directed by István Szabó. Ralph Fiennes plays the main character in 3 different generations. Other actors include Jennifer Ehle, Rosemary Harris, Rachel Weisz, Mark Strong and William Hurt. About 3 hours so there was time to eventually conclude that it was better than it first appeared to be... actually pretty good, and had more to say than first appeared as well.
Newsies (1992)
The story is loosely based on real events - kids selling newspapers in new York going on strike in 1899. I can't quite believe Disney made a musical of that. Not a great movie or anything, but has its charms, and I was grinning pretty much all the way through - and continuing grinning when watching the extras. This is sort of sweet and positive despite its flaws. And I can see why it eventually became beloved and gained fans when released on home video.
Christian Bale doesn't like musicals, and is not likely to ever do another, but hey, it's good to do varied stuff... and probably this wasn't a bad experience. And he can move and hold a tune. (I don't know if he still attacks directors with water guns, but I wouldn't be surprised...) Some of the other kids were pretty good in this, and I tried to check what they've done since... most: nothing of note, a pity. Bill Pullman was fine in this. Ann-Margret was in it, too. And Robert Duvall, wow - though sadly (or fortunately?) he didn't sing or dance. (And I think he was pretty bad...)
On the whole I enjoyed it. :D

The opening sequence at the rail station is some of the greatest shots ever, Harmonicas theme is ominous.
Not the biggest John Wayne fan though The Searchers is very good. Also I remember enjoying The Sons of Katie Elder I think Dean Martin is in that one.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Twilight Zone: The Movie
The Flash (TV pilot movie)
Fant4stic
X-Men: Days Of Future Past
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (Joe Kraemer to score a Bond movie please)
;)
Now that's reflexes!
The original trilogy is due a rewatch me thinks.
One of cinema's greatest masterpieces featuring OHMSS's very own Gabriele Ferzetti and the stunning Monica Vitti. Always wonder what my actual favourite film is, this one or Le mépris.
Anyway, if you love cinema I strongly advise to watch these two gems.
I agree. I can't wait to see Holland's solo effort. I was riveted by him in Civil War.
Dunst's Mary Jane was horrendous, probably one of the most unsympathetic characters in cinema.
I much preferred Gwen...
That's gonna hurt!
