    One of Our Aircraft is Missing, 1942. Powell & Pressburger film, and, like everything they do, it's original, quirky, funny and moving.

    It's worth noting that they were making propaganda movies in the middle of a war, yet go out of their way to point out that Germany is not a nation of monsters. There's also lots in this one about the bravery of the Dutch, as they help our bomber crew get home.

    @ClarkDevlin, you completely misunderstood me. I was genuinely asking, and I said there was no need for quotes or sources, because I would have believed what you said; I was merely asking what type of people those sources were. I meant that I wouldn't have needed you to prove anything to me with detailed info or anything (and as was already mentioned above, any such stuff would have been highly undesirable to others, anyway). I was in no way telling you you're wrong, indeed I explicitly told you I had no clue about Heard, which is why I asked since you seemed to know at least more than I do. And I wasn't saying anything at all about Cruise or what I might think or not think of him, except that I didn't understand what you meant in that sentence, or indeed what the connection was.

    Communication on the internet is clearly complicated. Apologies to everyone for asking clarification on an opinion that several people here seemed to take for granted and I remain unaware the reasons for. I know opinions on the matter vary, I take no side myself. Okay, I'll just go and finish my packing now.

    Oh then, my sincere apologies for my rather rude outcome of a reply, @Tuulia. My understanding of Miss Heard's behaviour is that she's often spoken badly of, even by a few interviewers I believe she dismisses badly, and friends of hers I heard of by other fellows I merely know living in Hollywood (I know them on social network, not in person, but I am sure they're genuine) claiming she mistreats them. Wrongful misdemeanors and whatnot. So, I believe that she's hot-headed who uses people heavily for her own benefits rather than being a genuine care-taking person. Like Kristen Stewart, she jumps from one guy or gal to another without feeling bad about it over the course of hours. Not defending Depp and saying he's a clean and clear person, he has issues, obviously. But, in this case, I believe Heard extorted Depp by claiming he abused her physically and verbally when too many others involved deeply with Depp, ranging from ex-girlfriends, ex-wives to close friends and casual acquaintances said that he never has been antagonistic towards Amber Heard. In anyways, that's their drama.

    I love Tom Cruise wholeheartedly as a filmmaker, actor and an action star. The guy knows how to go to the farthest lengths to perfect his vision of what he's tending to show on the course of the films he makes. I admire him for that. But, as a person, I don't like him a bit. He lectures everyone on his abysmal beliefs and puts Scientology forward Katie Holmes got scared and filed for divorce to protect her daughter from him, and she publicly stated that, without requiring money from him or inheritance, whereas that wasn't the case for Amber. She asked for a fine with a problem that wasn't existent. Not any chance by evidence. But, since we don't know actually, it's fair to dismiss that. I know of people on Facebook (screenwriters, film crew, cinematographers and whatnot) who also confirmed her ingenuity. So, I think that story of her being a gold digger, liar and a cheat is true. Nevertheless though, I think she's a sensational actress. No questions about that.

    Opinions vary, certainly. And I have no argument against those. So, again, my deepest apologies for coming off as offensively impolite and ill-mannered in my response.

    Anyways mate, in order not to hijack this thread, jump in to the PMs for further discussion if there's the need for it, before the moderators threaten us. :D

    It's certainly hard at times to separate the art and the artist. I struggle with it myself at times, though I try not to. With certain types of folks and how they act, it's only inevitable to feel that way.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, reminds me of The Saint episode entitled "Simon and Delilah" where Templar had to cope with an actress who mistreats everyone and thinks highly of herself. I got a kick out of it for Templar to respond to her with sarcastic and incorrigibly ferocious but not rude remarks. :))

    They say not to meet your heroes, and that may well be true. Which is why I've made the conscious decision to have my heroes be fictional characters for as long as I can remember. It's very hard for them to disappoint me in that way.

    Get Out (2017)

    Absolutely spectacular film, had me on edge of my seat one moment, and had me laughing out loud 10 seconds later. Daniel Kaluuya has been on my radar since 'Johnn English Reborn', and I didn't see him again until the amazing 'Sicario', and now I see him here, and he once again gives a powerhouse performance. Some very brutal moments near the end, and the film moved along at a fast pace for the entire 100 minutes, so I was shocked when the end credits started, I felt like I had barely sat down for 30 minutes! And I really loved seeing Stephen Root in this film, an amazing character actor I've seen in a lot of small roles ('24','Boardwalk Empire', 'Justified').

    I was actually very highly disappointed with that film. Not even half as good as advertised, but I guess it's not for everyone.

    The moment they killed off Lara Pulver, who played a very prominent role in the TV Series, is the moment I already lost interest. The ending, however, was great from a patriotic point of view.

    It's also this molehunt story that's wearing thin with me I can't tolerate any longer. Spy thrillers aren't always about mole-hunts. But, post-9/11 spy flicks are all about that with touch of Bourne Supremacy.

    Tunnel (2016)

    This is a South Korean disaster/survival film, as man is trapped alone in a tunnel that collapsed while he was driving through it, and the best rescue crew in S. Korea is tasked to rescue him. This was one of the best films in a long time that this genre had to offer, and once again these Asian fellas completely own anything Hollywood manages to do. The lead actor here is Ha-Jung Woo, one of my favorite Korean actors who's had quite the career since his breakout role as the serial killer in 'The Chaser'. This latest film is 2 hours of non stop gut-wrenching, nail bitting tension. With this and 'Train to Busan', the South Koreans are on a roll lately.

    Can't wait to check it out, @DaltonCraig007. It's going to feel pretty odd rooting for the bad guy from 'The Chaser'; that was a phenomenal film.

    Don't forget 'The Wailing,' as well! South Koreans know what they're doing in the film world, that's for sure.

    The Birds (1963).
    It's probably been 15 years or so since I've seen this one. It was also my first Hitchcock-film. Loved it then, and when I found it available on iTunes, I could not resist buying it.
    It did not disappoint. Just as suspenseful as I remembered it, and as the end credits rolled, I found myself wanting to see it again immediately. Decided to wait until the summer, when I'm planning a mini Hitchcock-marathon with The Rope, Rear Window, North By Northwest and Vertigo.

    The film left me a bit undecided about Tippi Hedren's acting - compared to that of Kim Novak, Eva Marie Saint and Grace Kelly - but she's suited the role fine.

    GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2

    guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2.jpg

    This is where the fun begins, ladies and gentlemen. Arguably the most comedic of the 'Avengers' films so far, Guardians 2 presents us with joke after joke and yet manages to squeeze in some good action and lovely, family friendly story arcs too. I know this may sound strange but like STAR TREK V done right for a change, Guardians keeps what worked so well in the first film and elevates it to something even bigger and--yes, in my opinion--better in this second one. Look, this will never be Cap 2 or Iron Man in my book; I wasn't too enthusiastic about that first Guardians, though I honestly liked it. But this sequel made me laugh, not just chuckle, but laugh sooo hard, I must have lost a pound or two in the process. Go watch this film. Don't bother checking out the "entire mythology" if you're not up to it. It's not mandatory. Put your feet up, grab a bag of potato crisps and a Red Bull and get funky!

    Deserted (2016)
    deserted_600.jpg

    Imagine a survival drama where the antagonist is the vast open desert. A group of friends/acquaintances on their way to a rock concert in the desert, become stranded and find themselves at the mercy of an unforgiving terrain. For what could be considered a b-film or an indie, this was a beautifully shot film. I was really drawn in to Mischa Barton's character, Jae, she really deserves to work in more higher profile films.

    Deserted reminded me of a film called Thirst (2010). They both had the same set up of a group of people stranded out in the middle of nowhere, with little food and water which soon runs out, and at the mercy of the elements.

    I really wasn't looking forward to this but I'm glad I watched it. It was really interesting and I learned a few more things about that event. They provided actual security camera footage and photos and ended it with interviews from the people that are portrayed in the movie.

    Oh man, my blu-ray copy of the remastered edition of 'Heat' came in the mail a day early, guess I know what I'll be doing this evening: enjoying the hell out of it, and cranking the volume to 100 once that bank heist scene begins. If I'm not bleeding profusely from the ears once that sequence is over, then I didn't do it right.

    Think of me when Neil drives his car with Eady in it through a brightly lit tunnel and you experience Spinotti's amazing grainy film stock and Goldenthal's ethereal sounds.
