The Fury is quite good. Great set pieces and that final scene with John Cassavetes!@.. woah!
Not a fan of Mission Impossible, found it very dull, apart from the break in to Langley!
Oooh i forgot Scarface. Love that as well!
The break in at Langley in MI is pure class! One of his best set pieces!
Ah yes, Scarface! Didn't realise Sidney Lumet was originally to do it? Would have been a very different movie!!
The film needed a flamboyant OTT director for all the 80's greed and excess in the film. Boy did they get it right!
similarities. The French actor Fernandel is a brilliant actor that is a spectacular Don Camillo and Gino Cervi is brilliant as Peppone the Mayor. These movies are really great.
La Casse (1971) - a heist movie starring Jean Paul Belmondo, Omar Shariff & Dyann Cannon to name a few and deliver an lovely movie that has a really great carchase in the movie done by Remy Martin and his crew and Belmondo is a truly great actor that does also convince in lighter movie. His stunts whom he does himself are convincing, some really great dialogue between Belmondo and Shariff and of course music by the maestro Morricone.
You've got to be joking, @Thunderfinger... Are you saying that Genisys and Dark Fate are better films than The Terminator?
Martin Scorsese directed this documentary on Bob Dylan I like it ... though it’s a bit dry in some parts it’s really cool.
Over all I love the feel of the film there are some interesting stories

Way better. The first is down there with Salvation and Rise of the Machines. It was cool when it came out, but has aged superbad. Cheesy b-movie.
I'd argue that is exactly the point. The Terminator only works as a cheesy b-movie. T2 successfully built on that but left nothing, absolutely nothing more to be said.
Four films have now tried to continue the series, but while some made money, none of them were able to convince audiences to come back for more. Even the fanbase of The Sarah Connor Chronicles seems to be counting more heads than the number of people interested in the films post-T2. These last two "soft reboots" looked amazing but once again added nothing crucial to the legacy.
I am, of course, glad that you enjoy them, friend. :) I merely struggle with the notion that TT is a weaker film than Genisys and Dark Fate. If anything, TT is the Terminator film, perhaps because of its b-film qualities. Any attempts at making this stuff more sophisticated, dramatic or-god forbid-"serious", are wasted.
I in many ways equate TT to Star Wars '77. Both cheesy, simple, b-level sci-fi, but oh-so good because of those qualities. T2 is the Empire Strikes Back to that original film, the one building a few extra layers and deepening a few things out. But almost every single attempt to return to these respective worlds after that seems to have come with more and more problems.
For me:
1) TT
2) T2
3) A great many excellent Dark Horse Terminator comics
4) The Sarah Connor Chronicles
5) Some fan films on YouTube
6) T3 on par with 4) Salvation
7) Dark Fate
8) Genisys
Good lord i thought you were joking!
Oh well, each to their own! :-S
Magnificent production, looks fantastic.
I’d like to watch that to, if I had a copy of it.
I rented it online.
Amen to that!
Peter Hyams wrote and directed this marvellousy entertaining conspiracy thriller about a fake space mission. Hal Holbrook is the chief conspirator, giving a great speech to the 3 astronauts explaining why, with fading interest in public and Congress, they have to ensure a proposed mission to Mars has to be faked after a malfunction would mean its abandoned.
Elliot Gould is the dogged reporter who smells a rat and investigates.
Great cameos by David Doyle and Telly Savalas and it all ends in a thrilling cropduster/helicopter chase!
A word too for Jerry Goldsmiths pulse pounding score!
I love that film!
A really entertaining conspiracy thriller. The cast is great! I used to have the the soundtrack on vinyl.
Great movie and one of my favorites, I managed to get it on Blu-ray a few years ago, the film holds up very well. Jerry Goldsmiths theme is one of the very best.
I have it on DVD only, pretty good copy!
I did hear the bluray was poor quality??
Hyams also directed one of my favourite Connery films, Outland which also had a great Jerry Goldsmith score!
I just watched this as well, and honestly, it's probably the best one. No constantly complaining "comic relief" character (though if they bring him back for the sequel, I sincerely hope they tone down Kevin Hart, because while funny, he was just trying too hard), not even one attempt to act like this was anything more than a popcorn flick. I don't know what other spin offs the series can do, but Hobbs and Shaw will prosper being out of Vin Diesel's shadow.
Outland is a film long overdue for a revisit, in fact not sure I have seen it since its release, maybe bits of the film on TV. Goldsmith one of the greatest for me.

Revenge of the Sith 4K on Disney +, looks great though difficult initially to see how much better it is than the HD Bluray without a side by side comparison, which I will do tomorrow out of curiosity.
I read a couple of the Christin/Mezzieres albums in the 70s/80s. I wasn t a huge fan, but they weren t bad. Just a bit boring. This 2017 film is rather entertaining and spectacular on a tecnical level.
This was very interesting.
I agree, @Thunderfinger. The film was very poorly received but I had a lot of fun with it, in a trippy sort of way. ;)
