Film recommendation thread 21:20 - Oct 22 with 3707 viewsDubtractor

After Ullaa inexplicably recommending terrible Moonfall on here the other day, I thought it might be nice to have a thread celebrating actual good films of recent times.

I've just watched Brian and Charles and would heartily recommend it. Heart-warming and a bit (lot) quirky, not really like many other films I've ever seen.

My fave of all time is Falcon and the Snowman

The Phantom Of The Open. Basically a golf Eddie The Eagle, and utterly delightful.

Hang on, someone recommended Moonfall? I watched that on a flight the other week and it was godawful. Sadly I had no internet to check rotten tomatoes when in the air.

Some of my more recent faves are Nightcrawler, The Gentlemen, and The Invisible Man.

Defo the coolest member of old club. Looks well worth a watch.

No, I'd already seen the film to know that it was crap.

It is sort of funny, though isn't meant to be, you laugh at it in a can't believe how stupid it is kind of way.

EDIT: I misread. The following is about Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

It's one of Taika Waititi's early films- the brilliant Kiwi director behind What we did in the Shadows and Thor:Ragnarok (arguably the best Marvel film of the Avengers era).

It's got emotional depth and range and is one of my all time favourite films. Very funny, very moving and poses a lot of questions, too.

EDITING IN:
For anyone who enjoyed it, a more stylised and visually lush film tackling similar themes is The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet.

Different but great: The French Dispatch.

I really enjoyed Bullet Train recently.

If you've watched People Just Do Nothing but haven't seen the film, it's well worth a watch.

See How They Run at the cinema recently was good.

Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho a minor classic. Visually stunning.

It's a true story Dubs, can't tell you how many times I've watched it.

Brilliant stuff and great acting.

Have a butchers and let me know what you think. They should make a film about what happened in the future, Christopher Boyce man, what a guy!
