The new Edgar Wright film looks interesting, Baby Driver was ok but not nearly as rewatchable as the Cornetto Trilogy, hopefully this is better.

Never heard of Cornetto Trilogy so will check it out. And baby driver is just ok and defo not worth a 're watch.

Not sure why I can't stand Edgar Wright's films, although I do like Hot Fuzz I'm never in a rush to watch it.

The Cornetto trilogy are all great, only The World's End dips a bit in quality (though I enjoyed it more on second viewing). Baby Driver was shite, a music video gimmick stretched to feature length, style over substance.

I haven't seen that Scott Pilgrim film, it looks like it would annoy me to death.

You'd be right, it's utter bollocks

RAMS. A remake of the 2015 Icelandic film. A good one at that.

Hah. So the Cornetto trilogy is those 3 films. Shaun of the dead was good. Other 2 found tedious as hell.

I liked the Icelandic one a good bit.

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are classic. World's End not as good but still plenty to enjoy in it. I had no idea it was the same film maker behind Baby Driver which was fun but complete fluff. This new one looks like an all out horror.

The Descent is a winner. I have a triple DVD collection with The Descent, Dog Soldiers and something else that is slipping my mind right now. Dog Soldiers is another modern classic horror. Both of those films got it just right in their own different ways.

I've seen the movie 7 or 8 times and that bit in the end still gets me.

Festen is great, one of the Dogma 95 him and Von trier were doing back then. Look into that its interesting.  I love the Hunt too, Mikkelsen is great in it. Not as comedic as the other two though. Also try Submarino.

Yeah - I've seen a few of the Dogme 95 films. I remember Empire magazine enthusiastically wetting themselves about it in the 90s.

The idea behind it is admirable but, unless it's done by a skilled director, the whole thing ends up looking and feeling like a C-grade student film.

Typically (for Von Trier anyway) - the first two films in the series abandoned the rules that the filmmakers themselves had just said they would be following.  :laugh:

I haven't seen it since it came out, I remember it being silly but enjoyable. Ye'll be delighted to hear that it's getting remade.

Fuck sake  :-\

Fuck sake. A foresee a CGI abortion. The original is perfect- great cast,  great dialogue,  tons of humour,  fantastic costumes that don't look real but look perfect for that! Leave it alone  :o

I think The Howling is getting the same treatment, too. I'm genuinely surprised that they haven't remade An American Werewolf In London yet, seeing as they're remaking everything else.
