The Smallville scenes are brilliant, Donner brings Norman Rockwells Americana to life.
R.I.P. Margot xxx
I felt sad after watching this today.
It's so classic it brings me to tears...
Hateful 8-- a maverick filmmaker at the end of his career; his last cheap trick is to use the N-word as many times as he can. Hated the Hateful 8.
'you will be safe here son' moment just happened whilst watching, this film is real nothing will ever match this. Real to me is heart, this film has so much heart.
I also agree that there's nothing superfluous in the film.
The IRA was the subject matter of some very enjoyable thrillers in the nineties. Blown Away, Ronin and this one, among others. And of course, more recently we had The Foreigner.
Edit: I think it's safe to assume Sean Bean's role in Patriot Games went a long way toward winning him his part in GoldenEye. In both films he comes across as a rather charming villain.
I agree. In terms of providing a series of memorable and well-crafted scenes, this film is probably ahead of the others. The one thing I'm a bit unsure of, in terms of the story of the film, is that what gets the characters trapped in the island is caused by the heroes. I can't articulate what I feel is problematic about that, though.
The second film is a fun ride the T Rex scenes are awesome
Debating whether to buy the 4K versions of the films, Pete Postlethwaite is one of the best things in The Lost World, the film has that random characters in a bad situation which I like.
Yeah man his scenes in Inception quite profound, brilliant actor.
Better make that five. I've always liked the first film. When seen on a big screen, those first scenes of the Enterprise are quite awe inspiring.
Every time I watch this film I am amazed, it's easily one of the best Blurays I have, the Enterprise dock scene is beautiful.
I need to get those Star Trek films on Blu-ray.
I have all the films and one way or another all the series. I grew up with Trek when you get locked in its a good addition to your heart. Trek at its best really is awesome
My friends high school and I were all huge fans and we'd go to the conventions. I eventually met most of the original crew with the exception of Doohan. The best was when Shatner and Nimoy appeared on stage together and told stories. Great stuff.
I didn't follow the various later series as much as I felt the most connected to TOS. But, still enjoyed some Next Generation when it was on.
Wow that's awesome, I live in the UK I think that's pretty special I envy you.
Those were fun times in the early '90's. After a while the conventions seemed fewer and further between. I believe the last one I went to was probably in '94.
I would certainly make the best of any opportunity
When I lose my centre i watch The Motion Picture
A few month before the release of STAR TREK VI, a buddy of mine and I went to a Trek marathon. The first 5 films. THE MOTION PICTURE began around noon and THE FINAL FRONTIER ended around midnight. One of the best days at the cinema I ever had. I believe THE MOTION PICTURE was the original theatrical release.
Interestingly, the title card on II just said STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN.
Watch all the films, compared to current BS I think you will enjoy them
I think I've only missed a few. One of the NG films and the most recent of the re-boot series. I agree far better than most of what's out there today.
I like it a lot. It's a film you can just lose yourself in. It's slow pace works because you get to take your time in seeing the incredible visuals. The Enterprise going to warp has never been bettered.
Fantastic score from Jerry Goldsmith as well.
It's strange to an extent that we hardly see films like this anymore, at least not since 9/11. It's almost like there is a gag order on Hollywood re: intelligent projects like this which show corruption within the corridors of Washington. It's now almost a taboo subject it seems. Ironic given what we know goes on.
Good shout on Blown Away and Ronin. Both class films which I must revisit soon. Ford was in another one around that time with Brad Pitt called The Devil's Own. I can't remember much about it now, but thought it was boring when I saw it.
However, on reflection, I think it's perhaps the best Trek movie to come out alongside Khan. After the novelty of seeing the new Enterprise for 10 years (which was a big deal back in '79) it perhaps goes on a little too long for repeat viewings. That said, I absolutely loved it when I first saw it. This was one that a lot of the movie critics didn't like as I recall. Then again, a lot didn't like Alien, either.
