    Iglourious basterds. Good, but not as good as kill bill or pulp fiction.

    Saving private ryan is still the best war film I've ever seen.

    Wouldn't consider Ing. Bast. a war movie. There's not really any battle scenes. Oh God, I WISH Tarantino did a battle scene, but it didn't happen.

    But yes, SPR is probably one of the best films I've ever scene.

    I just thought it was ridicously stupid, though i did enjoy some parts.


    Now, this isn't the most recent film i've viewed, but I finally got a chance to watch the first 'The Godfather' not long back, and i was pretty hyped for it, as i'd heard nothing but greatness from it, and with it being second greatest film on IMDB, but i honestly didn't enjoy it. I just found it dull and boring and I couldn't find amongst all of the 'family' business what was supposed to be great about it... Three hours was far too long in my opinion, the only good scene i thought in the whole movie was the 'cafe' scene. It may just be me, but I thought it was pretty bad.

    I always found the godfather a bit boring too. Scarface is my favourite crime film.

    I was really sad there were no big battle scenes. I read that it was "tarantino's stab at the war movie" so I instantly thought it was awesome. But I was really let down. I kind of pictured brad pitt and the others charging across france brutally killing nazis, tarantino style. I felt kind of let down on the battle side of things.

    Se7en with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. This is a Great, if disturbing, Movie.

    It's not disturbing all those people had it coming to them. And of course Brad's wife defo had it coming to her. She was so annoying.

    It did change the way film thrillers were made.

    I saw it on it's original release back in 1995 and never found it that much of a big deal, yes it has some genuine nasty moments but some people make out like it's the granddaddy of horror movies or such and that simply isn't the case. We don't get to see the actual murders only bits of the aftermath and half the time the screen was so dark it was hard to make out even what was going on, constant rain coming down too but that was all intended to give it a more uncomfortable feel. I like movies like these where there's no happy ending and nobody walks off set with a feel good factor and it made a nice change, also the end credits went in reverse which was a nice difference. Kevin Spacey did a good job and both Freeman and Pitt gave very good performances but I feel it's overrated by some, but still a fine piece of film

    A film doesn't have to have battle scenes in it to be considered in the genre of war films. If the film is a depiction of a war or events during a time of war, it is most assuredly a war film, with or without battles included.

    I thought it was great. Easy to look past the acting, and get the message. Went with my parents and sister, and my dad has been deployed to Afghanistan twice. Lets just say it had a very strong impact on all of us.

    Agreed. I'd give it a solid *** out of ****.

    Two days ago I saw The Last Days of Patton. I don't think it's a very good movie, at least not as good as Patton.
    George Scott was too old and a little fat, a lot more than in his previous performance.
    It's not a war film, but as a drama it's not that bad... only a little slow and simple.

    Wow. I'm sorry to hear that about your father. He is a very brave man.

    Is the former the 1995 release with Sharon Stone and Robert De Niro

    I don't think I've ever been such a live witness to a constant end of profanities. The Nicky Santoro character would probably last about six seconds on MI6 with regards to it's 'no swearing' policy

    And it just seems to go on forever.......................................................................

    It's merely Goodfellas in the desert

    If you watch Pesci in it, as with both releases, he's obviously a very threatening loud mouthed little man here, and also the Lethal Weapons were still going on at the exact same time and you watch him as Leo Getz, you ask yourself time and again -'Is this really the same actor' on screen. He does give powerhouse performances sometimes

    Last movie I watched, well most of it was The Million Pound Note with Gregory Peck some days ago, it's a very good first half but just sinks into a boring heap towards the second half, still worth a watch though

    Yep, that it was. That's the reason I love it. "Goodfellas in the desert".

    It's not out in the UK yet, but I can't wait to see this. I was in the army myself for a while so I'm excited about the idea of soldiers playing soldiers.

    Saw it on it's original release and it still seems like yesterday but last movie watched was Trading Places with Murphy and Aykroyd recently. It all looks a bit dated now from a 21st century perspective but there's still lots of fun to be had. This was the film that made Eddie Murphy many people still think and he actually does a good job here and gets more room to roam than his stifled 48 hrs appearance. I wish Jamie Lee Curtis had been left out though, not sure what some people see in her, but still worth a watch

    The guard. Basically an irish policeman (a garda) teams up with an american FBI agent to take down some drug dealers. Great film, it's funny, but is also dark and violent at times, the ending is really good.

    Early Pink Panther (which means the humour works) and Elke Sommer, you can't go wrong.

    A shot in the dark is a classic.

    The Iron Lady. Great performance by Meryl Streep but what a boring and bad movie! The things I was interested to see, the Falklands War and the IRA conflict, were too short in the story. And no Reagan in the movie (beside some lame footage)?
    I much prefer to watch Thatcher in FYEO!

    I feel ashamed to say that I enjoyed The Iron Lady... not a fantastic film, but quite enjoyable.

    Come on sport! You like entertaining Bond movies like MR and TMWTGG! How could you enjoy The Iron Lady?
