Chris, any of those French comedies on Amazon worth a look? I just watched Stalingrad, what a downer :(

Couple of the old ones: Le Placard, Le Grand blond avec une chaussure noire (think I mentioned it here before), Bienvenue à bord is good fun, L'Arnacoeur is a watchable rom-com if you're sitting down with herself. There's loads on there I've never seen, a few classics too, and the lists might not be the same in France and Spain...?

There's a whole subsection of them so they'll be similar I guess. I'll give one of them a look that you've mentioned

Watched a couple of those SpongBob Squarepants fillums over the last two days with the young lad. Great craic altogether.


Watch Dead mans shoes again, intense

First time watching it was jaw dropping. Paddy Considine, what a performance.
Second time I watched it was a waste of time because I knew what was coming....
For anyone who hasn't seen it..... do!

Watched it again about a month ago, first time for a while. It holds up, great film.

This film was on TV when I was a young boy. Maybe 8 or 9. It had a comedy tone at the start. No idea why I was watching it think it was on the upstairs TV. The suitcase scene definitely hit me hard at that age, in a brooding sense. Rewatched it recently it's intense but great.

I think if I met paddy considine even though i know its a  film i would still be nervous, that intensity is alive in him

Incredible film. A few beauts around that time in that vein. Utter bleakness. Tyrannosaur written and directed by Paddy is 10/10 as well.

Shane Meadows, and TV, but the 4 parter The Virtues from a few years ago is worth a watch on a sunny day. Mental.

Cheers ill check out the virtues next

Seen Hellraiser 1 and 2 over the last few days. The 1st one was cool but Pinhead turning "good guy" in the 2nd was a bit ridiculous.

One of the most powerful dramas I've ever seen.

Never heard of Tyrannosaur, sticking on watchlist now, nice one.

Tyrannosaur is fantastic, hard to believe it was his first film. Mullan and Colman are unbelievably good in it, her in particular. Never mind The Favourite, that's the one she should be known for.

On a completely different level, just watched Godzilla Vs. Kong. Gloriously crap, stupid and great fun. Nice fan service too.

True enough but I still enjoyed the second one way more than the first. I remember that scene where the guy gets the life sucked out of him from the evil bitch freaked me out as a young lad.
