Hey now I am a Hardy/fassbender/Hiddleston fan...
I wouldn't complain about Dorian but he would be far from number 1 of course to be perfectly honest Orlando Bloom is slowly creeping up from the bottom of my list Unlocked looks that good.
The Elephant Man (1980) is the only Lynch film I have seen, and I thought it was great. Not sure if I'll enjoy his style though based on the clips of Eraserhead I've seen. Maybe sometime I'll try more of his movies, including Blue Velvet.
Very good film, one of 2016's best.
Same. Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive were both impressive, but Elephant Man is a true classic.
I have no interest in Eraserhead, which I have heard is largely disturbing and lacking in narrative. Think I can skip that one.
Mullholland Drive is my #2, and while i'm not exactly a fan of Blue Velvet i can certainly understand why people like it so much.
Eraserhead i hated, disturbing and disgusting movie.
Very odd, I found myself neither liking or disliking it. I thought Ben Affleck was great as Bruce Wayne and Batman but it was mediocre in a sense. I had never seen Man of Steel so maybe that had something to do with it.
I like Mulholland Drive second best, too. I'll take your advice on Eraserhead.
I'm planning on watching the extended cut soon. I didn't mind the movie too much the first time, but hopefully the extended cut makes me appreciate it even more.
You have to watch Eraserhead...at least once!
Strangest film ever made! Pure Lynch!
What a great film. Highly original, beautiful, deeply disturbing.
I think there were some hidden references to real life people there.
@Thunderfinger I saw it last week, really enjoyed it too.
@DaltonCraig007, glad to hear it. It has gotten some mixed reactions, and I understand it isn t for everyone. I thought it had a great cast, score, cinematography, a story that took new turns throughout. Very good all the way, and nothing typical about it.

Ha Ha @cooperman2
I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of this film! I thought it's 'John Wick shoots endless goons with CGI effects' action was bloody tedious. May as well watch someone play a shoot em up video game for all the substance it offers. Mindless tripe for the easily pleased.
Mind you, we're in the minority as most people seem to love it... :-S
Indeed, Sicario was no fluke. Denis Villeneuve for Bond 25, please.
On a separate note...
My father and Landham were roommates, for a short time, in an apartment in L.A., back in the mid-60s.
It was better than I was expected but still fell kind of flat. The overall events of the movie was pretty dull but the plot was entertaining enough.
Occasionally a film disappoints me in the theatre but redeems itself on blu ray. London Has Fallen is one of those films. I was very much looking forward to it last year, having quite enjoyed predecessor Olympus Has Fallen (far more than the rubbish White House Down). However, I was let down by the horrendous CGI during the terrorist attack in London (there are scenes with helicopters and missiles that make the work in DAD seem worthy of a special effects Oscar in comparison, which is tragic given that the Bond film was made more than a decade prior). Sadly, this detracted from my viewing experience at the time. Last night, knowing what to expect in this regard, I found myself focusing more on the hand to hand combat and other action sequences instead, and had more fun as a result. Gerard Butler returns as Secret Service honcho Mike Bannon, who once again has to protect POTUS (Aaron Eckhart) from terrorists. This time around they are garden variety radical Islamists (as opposed to North Koreans in the first film). Needless to say, the buff Bannon is up to the task, and disposes of several while delivering glib quips worthy of John McClane at his best. I read somewhere that this series will get one more sequel, entitled Angel Has Fallen, in 2018. I'm looking forward to it, as long as they have a better budget for F/X this time out. Bannon is a worthy successor to McClane imho.
Quite enjoyed this new interpretation and was surprised at how much Skarsgaard looked at home in the role.
Easy to thow away this movie as a cheap remake but my kids love it so it must do something right. I like the reworking of the original plot and I do think that Jackie Chan can really act. There are some nice training montages (let down by the music) but overall , pretty enjoyable.
PS I did something a little anal, I watched the training montage with the music from Rocky 4 played over it. Transforms the scene and a great little example of what a key role music can play within a movie.
Therein lies the problem: it's obviously an action-driven film with incredibly impressive choreography being its main selling point. Lining up for this series to see character/story development is immediately setting yourself up for a bad time.
The single tracking shot that they use when he's shooting his way through to the terrorist HQ was really cool.
A true comedic classic, if you ask me. Never has there been a comedy as uncomfortably hilarious as this one since.
I agree. Hilarious movie!
