Anybody recommend a good recent film to watch?

Am watching 4 lions it's a p1ss take of wannabe muslim terrorists very good..

Thanks giggilo, I will check it out out. I like parodies.

Mac, "There Will Be Blood", the best film of all time.

... The Rutles was one of my favourites. And Life Of Brian and Woody Allen`s Take The Money And Run

Thanks slippy. I have never seen that. Will definitely check that out too.

I gave it a very solid 10/10.

You will not be disappointed Mac, it's an absolute masterpiece.

Two diverse but quality suggestions.

I prefer older films , personally . Plenty from the 70's / 80's that I have yet to see .
I watched one last night from 1983 - Corruption (also listed as 'Order Of Death' or 'Copkiller') . 8/10

Cheers guys, I will report back after viewing both. GN.

I tell you a good recent movie, you might not have seen it, Four Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri - it's better than it sounds, it won an Oscar or two

Us. is an absdolute blast, themightymac. Take your family to see it (it's an R)

Journey's End.

I went to London last week and wasn't that well so spent the time crawling to cinemas near tube stations.
Everybody Knows is a decent low-key character-driven thriller ( in Spanish )
Us I thought was just a silly over-hyped horror film. I was hoping for something better.
The Highwaymen I saw in the cinema but it's already on Netflix,is an evocative if rather slow period piece.
Ben is Back is well-made and well-acted but felt somewhat inauthentic and contrived.
Under The Silver Lake is weird. Pretentious or over-ambitious to be kind.

Three Billboards -- another vote.
Bohemian Rhapsody -- a great feelgood film.
A Star is Born -- the newer Lady Gaga version.

Three Billboards is one of my favourite films, another 10/10 job.

Three Billboards is a must see Movie.

I really enjoyed the Favourite - usually hate period drama but this was really good

Agree entirely with 3 billboards.

The best thing about Bohemian Rhapsody is listening to two or three Queen songs. Absolute classics. The worst thing is having to suffer through their endless parade of horribly shyte songs particularly but not exclusively from the 80s that are so insufferable combined with their awful pretentiousness that makes you just want to kill yourself. I give it ONE star.

the syrups were the worst since Frankie Howards

have to admit, if i didn't know better, i thought it was another Spinal Tap

I watched 'The Highwaymen' on Netflix last night (released 2 days ago) and it wasn't bad to be fair. It's the story of the Texas Rangers who set out to capture/kill Bonnie & Clyde with Costner & Harrelson in the lead roles. I quite enjoyed watching the tale from the other side of the fence.

Tonight I'm going to try out 'Triple Frontier' (also on Netflix), but first the nail-biting Liverpool v Spurs

Not recent, recent, but The Imitation Game is a film that stands many viewings.

Similar to 'A Beautiful Mind' Angoose, both very good watchable movies.

Indeed.
Can also throw Moneyball in to the mix, another film that can be watched many times.

Three Billboards very good
Green Book  the best film ive seen in years

I may well be swimming against the tide here but I've never liked Queen's music, never bought any of their records and it would be my idea of cinematic hell to watch 'Bohemian Rhapsody' but that's just me, each to their own of course.

Aspro thanks for the heads up on The Highwaymen.....Wow what a shocker probably one of the worst Movies I have seen in the last ten years....Shame.great actors but pure garbage I would probably blame the director.

Football factory is very funny as well because as daft as it may seem it's exactly what these sort of people are like which makes it even funnier..

Ramrunas third choice A Star Is Born is a must watch

Go watch it Giggsy - it might bring out some humility in you

And more importantly go enjoy the music hth

@SlippyBlue -- you do not have to be a fan of Queen to enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody. I've got none of their albums. In fact it might even be better as you can enjoy it as an upbeat, feelgood movie rather than being distracted by minor historical errors.

The Imitation Game is a great film except that the writer has clearly not understood the source material. I can just about accept for dramatic purposes the maths geeks worrying about how the intelligence was used (although in fact they'd not have been involved in translating the messages from German, let alone assessing their military significance) but the bit that drives me spare is Turing's eureka moment at the end when he decides to use the machine to do exactly what he'd designed it to do in the first place.

But aside from that, it is very watchable.

was in Zante siddy when football factory came out -2004- year Greeks went round the streets shooting shotguns off into the air after they won the euros lol - seen nowt like it before or since - forget the old firm or westham/millwall it was do it anutha notch on the oven

I know a few who were in FF.. done well for themselves since ..

I know a few old ICF mates who were extras in FF . Living the dream

I enjoyed BlacKKKlansman more than Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody (which whilst a feel good film and the re-enactment of Live Aid is good - is actually pretty rotten with a lame script and rotten acting except for Rami Malek, who should have won an oscar for best lookalikey).

A Star Is Born was really very was good. Top acting by both leading actors.

Another film I enjoyed and will get slated for is Walk Like A Panther. Great fun.

A group of 1980s wrestlers are forced to don the lycra once last time when their beloved local pub is threatened with closure.

bigmo; it matters not one hoot what others think; if you enjoyed it, then that's all that matters

I watched 'Nebraska' on Film 4, I'd never even heard of it before but it got a good write up on imdb (they rated it 7.7/10) so I gave it a go and it was very good I thought. A fine performance by Bruce Dern in a very poignant film, (it's in black and white). I gave it 7/10 and would recommend it.

I forgot to put the review link up.

The Founder is another film that is well worth a watch, true story of how Ray Kroc stole McDonalds from The McDonalds.

If you liked Alien then you will love Life,just released on Netflix...Starts slowly but stick with it...Blew me away.

Bad times at the El Royale seemed to slip under the radar for most people last year. Didn't play for very long and the reviews were, for the most part, fairly luke warm. I loved it though, easily my film of last year, a sumptuous piece of neo-noir. Even the trailers are things of beauty...

That's a great tip lux, very unlike me to let a film like that go undetected especially with Jeff Bridges in it, cheers for that heads up.

Unforgiven on ITV4 tonight @ 21.00.

I have been slowly working my way through these great nominations.

3 Billboards lived up to expectations and I really enjoyed this gripping thriller. The end was rather confusing though. Looked like they were setting it up for a sequel 8/10

Green Book was indeed a very good film. Viggo Mortensen is a fine actor. 8/10

I watched one last night which nobody has mentioned. The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner. A Netflix production based on the true story about the two famous Texas Rangers who come out of retirement to kill the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. Very good but over 2 hours long. 8/10

Cardboard gangster great irish film,very thick accent for me to adjust to loved it,plus just watched first two series of Top boy best series i've seen since breaking bad brutal but very realistic and another new series to be released this year..

This is the market without Ted 2, right?

Paddington 2 is the greatest family film of all time. Well, it's quite good anyway.

If there is a moral to this thread, it is that the Oscars (and BAFTA) judges aren't complete lemons.

two i enjoyed you'll prob hate

remember - two aging ex inmates of a concentration camp hunt down an ex guard, christopher plummer the main hunter has alzeimer's and keeps losing the plot, really good film right to the end

a man called ove - norwegian i think, subtitled but very watchable story about a cantakerous bitter old man reminicing, give it a bit of time, excellent

not sure whether they were netfix or amz, sorry

A man called Ove is excellent; reminded me a bit of Gran Torino, elise?

yes, but with a bit of twisted humour maybe? reckon the filming budget was 20 quid and all the better for it

aye & without the violence

try the other one if you've not seen it, it's not really about the war so much

i will & thank you. Christopher Plummer must be a right good age now as he looked 87 in the Sound of Music

wait until you see martin landau

he didn't age well after Space 1999 did he

vice

The dark comedy spans 50 years of Dick Cheney's rise to power, from wild nights and bar fights as a youth in Wyoming to a Washington insider who became the most powerful vice president in history.

I enjoyed it.

Baphornet
watched A Man Called Ove  last night, a very enjoyable and touching film

'The Big Lebowski' Film4 @ 1.05 a.m. "The Dude abides". I must have seen this at least 20 times and it still makes me laugh.

Watched Wind River, the other night... Netfix... Enjoyed it.

An FBI agent teams with the town's veteran game tracker to investigate a murder that occurred on a Native American reservation.

Don't watch the trailer... too much information, spoils the film.

Saw that in the cinema, well worth a watch.
