absolute horrible dreck, my family put it on one xmas and after 10 minutes I had to leave has to be one of the worst acted, scripted and performed films I ever had the misfortune to see (ten minutes of)Originally posted by Sysman View PostMamma Mia! on ITV1 at the moment.
Star studded cast - Meryl Streep, Pierce Bosnan, Julie Walters, Colin Firth.
Thus far, middle aged wimmin dancing to Abba hits.

that's not that weird a film actually, its not straight hollywood but nowhere near as weird as the other films mentioned as it does make sense by the end whereas Eraserhead?! god I hated that film!Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostWatched some of Oldboy at the weekend but my head was not in the right place for it, very weird.
Oldboy (2003) - IMDb
Might try to download it.
not a weird film but a complex one is 'Primer', anyone interested in watching it don't go and read the reviews as it will give away the plot just go download it - its not a horror, or weird or dark or scary, its proper Science Fiction (not sci-fi). I'm not sure any other film has had me scratching my head for so long, after a couple of watches I still haven't quite got it - loved it though.
Donnie Darko is one that I thought was better before I understood it. When I saw it I worked out what I think was happening, then I read a plot summary online which was far more complex than what I think happened and I prefer my simpler version of events - awesome film though!sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

Don't remember the food being served on trains but, otherwise, reminds me of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.Originally posted by stek View PostDoes anyone remember a movie where all the protagonists were in a restaurant and all the food was brought to them to their tables on large scale model trains? LGB probably...
Been driving me mad trying to remember....
Peter Greenaway is another weirdo director.Comment

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
