What Did You Watch Today?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, Billy Wilder is up there with my favourite directors. His filmography is insane, I'd be happy if I made any films as good as either; The Apartment, Some Like It Hot, Sunset Boulevard or Double Indemnity. But he went and made all four, as well as a number of other great films, he was insanely talented.

I also didn't know Cecil B. DeMille could act, so that was an awesome added bonus. It also reminded me that I need to watch more of his movies.

Also, Split, not mentioning Stalag 17 in there is terrible. I need to watch more Billy Wilder, though, am definitely going to watch The Apartment this year, it's part of my Best Picture list.

[Monkey D. Lars]

12 Years a Slave, hands down best film of 2013.

Just like SRN said, the moment he sees his family and especially when his daughter tells him his grandson's name.

[Costanza]

It's award season, so last night I obviously watched Mac and Me.

First time seeing this, apart from the Paul Rudd clips on Conan. My life has changed, for the better.

Terrible movie, but that's the point. Loved it. Can't wait for my McDonald's for lunch now.

City Lights (1936)

I've finally seen The Tramp in action. Blown away. Super excited to see more Chaplin this year.

Blown away? How dare you!!! You gave this film 2½ stars on Letterboxd.

[Benjamin]

That's because it was 5am and I was dead tired. I swear I thought I was giving it 3 and a half

The Lego Movie is rutting fun.

Also The Raid is sensational. Massively hyped for the sequel, but furious at the plans of a remake.

[Jimmy]

Ah, glad you liked The Raid, definitely thought it'd be your kind of thing.

[Monkey D. Lars]

The Birds, only something Hitchcock can do!

[Benjamin]

Lone Survivor (2013)

It's no masterpiece of war or anything, but I felt like it hit all the right notes, so I liked it.

[ZJ Penn]

Lone Survivor was better than I was expecting, but halfway through becomes an exercise in watching four guys slowly get shot to pieces interspersed with that scene in Hot Rod where Andy Samberg rolls down the hill for about two minutes.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Vertigo, amazing. One of my favorit Hitchcock movies behind North by Northwest, Psycho and Rear Window.

[Colly]

Watched the first two episodes of Life of Rock with Brian Pern on the iPlayer and its brilliant. Why the fuck do the BBC make these things and then not advertise them at all? Linnnnnnnekkkkkkkkeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!

[DMN in the House]

Trying to watch a movie a night, and I'm thinking of possibly starting a blog, part of which would be movie reviews. Last night was Elysium, which definitely had it's problems (Jodie Foster's accent, the fact that the entire plot could have been settled with a single conversation), but overall a really entertaining movie with a great look, which is always a major thing for me in cinema.

[Berober]

The Princess Bride is wonderful every time I see it

[Benjamin]

The Condemned (2007)

Holy cow, I didn't think it would be this bad. Really was such a bore. Manu Bennett playing Crixus in Season 2 was funny, though.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark, fill in the rest yourself.

[Jimmy]

Finally got to see Her and I'm very happy it lived up to the hype. Phoenix & Johansson are extraordinary.

[Benjamin]

Requiem For A Dream (2000)

Man, Jared Leto should have started collecting Oscars from this movie. What a performance. Oh, and Ellen Burstyn was there being awesome as well. But you all knew that.

The Apartment (1960)

Yup, totally agree with Split. Really slim, but it was better than Sunset Boulevard. Now I just have to watch Some Like It Hot. Stalag 17 is still better, though. I can't stop loving Stalag 17.
