5th Element. Another good one!

One of my all time favorite films and scores, everything about it was so so so ahead of it’s time! The soundtrack in Blade Runner 2049 by Hans Zimmer I thought kept extremely well to an almost impossible expectation, if you haven’t watched the movie, it’s worth picking up the soundtrack, it’s quite wonderful.
But the original will always be in a class of it’s own!

Recently watched The Babadook which is an australian horror. Very well done, there’s something about horrors that the Aussies to so well, very raw compared to most hollywood rubbish. Would recommend.

Another 5th Element fan! It got panned by the critics when it was released, but it’s since become a cult classic.
I admit I’m not much of a Luc Besson fanboy, he mostly produces cheesy kitsch. But he was exactly the right director for the 5th Element, one of the best tongue in cheek Sci-Fi romps ever. The Diva’s aria scene btw floored me. Couldn’t believe what I’d just heard.

As a non film watcher I enjoyed Oblivion far more than I expected to, Interstellar was another rare film I really thought was excellent:)

A non-film watcher? Curious statement. I don’t watch many…probably 1-3 a month, perhaps more in the past month but not much.

I’ll watch perhaps one or two new films in a year.
I occasionally, every couple of years, set up the TV in my back room and watch a few old favourites, usually takes a few sittings to get through a whole film and half of that standing up mooching about the room.
Cinema, with no break, is just torture to sit still so long 
My wife is generally, but not always, tolerant of this, so I end up at the cinema perhaps once a year, with sunglasses and earplugs and sufficient medication to keep the restless leg down for a few hours, but if I’m lucky I will fall asleep

Anyone on the board a Japanese cinema fan? Huge Akira Kurosawa fan here. Where to begin? Seven Samurai, Rashomon or one of his later epic masterpieces Ran? Stay at home has me gorging on Kurosawa’s filmography. Too bad many of his greatest post-war films have never been released on video. I’m streaming what’s available and immersing myself in his genius once again.

I think they are all streaming on the TCM app for those of you with Apple TV’s.
Likely noted above somewhere, but “Knives Out” for fans of a classic murder mystery.
