Question

The Official Films Thread

Well bollocks, we've got a telly thread so I thought I'd create one for films too.

I'm currently working my way through Movies With A Twist Collection 3 which I downloaded years ago from TPB. All of those torrents are now dead which is a shame because I didn't get around to downloading Collection 4. I'm downloading all of those separately which is a hassle but will be worth it in the end going by 1-3 so far.

Am in the middle of watching Law Abiding Citizen, I think I've seen it before but i was so long ago I've forgotten what happens.

The problem with watching these films knowing that there's a twist makes it easy to work out what the twist in question is so probably better if you watch them without that knowledge lol

Here's a list of some of my all-time favourite films of all-time in no particular order:

Brazil
The Life Of Brian
The Holy Grail
The Meaning Of Life
Star Wars
The Empire Strikes Back
Lifeforce (a terrible film but the female lead vampire spends most of it naked lol)
All Lethal Weapons
All Die Hards
Every Dirty Harry Film
The Jungle Book (the Disney original)
Pi
Falling Down (just for the McDonalds scene lmfao)
Silent Running
Logan's Run
All 60s-70s Planet Of The Apes
Soylent Green

Am going to stop there otherwise this post is going to be HUGE lol

      Amazon tv in australia finally added The Big Bus, one of the great spoof movies from 1976 (like Airplane! but 4 years earlier).

      It's stupid and dated, but damn that actual bus is awesome. :)

      Just changed my pre-order to the 4K Steel Book - the steel book looks so much better (click to enlarge):





      Reminds me so much of Bioforge - maybe my favorite game of all time together with Lone Echo:

      Been seeing some war flicks this weekend - this one was nice in 4K, although HDR didn't seem striking:

      - and also saw this one, it's 8.4 on IMDB, Peter Jackson revived some old films, really amazing stuff:

      @RuneSR2 - Where can I see that documentary "They shall not grow old". Is it on NetFlix or some other streaming service? I've just being watching the documentary on the Vietnam war recently on NetFlix.

      It was pretty cool. I was a fan of the anime movie and the manga, the live action one got things pretty close.

      For people who have seen it, one difference is:
      In the movie, Ido named Alita after his dead daughter and the first body he used was intended for his daughter. In the manga, Ido named Alita after his dead cat and the first body was just a spare he had lying around.

      Also, the manga and anime are WAY more violent than the movie.

      It's a movie - you can get it on Amazon:

      https://www.amazon.co.uk/They-Shall-Not-Grow-Blu-ray/dp/B07KJVS46G/ref=tmm_blu_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

      And right after you've bought it, it probably arrives on Netflix - they always do that to me, lol.
