@bryaneidins70:

Watched 'Jawbone' a couple of days ago. Dark and gritty British movie, starring Ray Winston. Good movie with a nice score too.

+1 Great movie

You don't know Ray Winstone until you've seen Scum, now that is dark and gritty.

A British film I would highly recommend is Dead Mans Shoes, by local (to me) director Shane Meadows. It was filmed about 15 miles away from where I live, very, very fucked up.

[bryaneidins70]

Seen Deadmans shoes a few times, a great movie and Paddy is brilliant.

….....On another note "wheres your tool, what fucking tool......this fucking tool"... well said Raymond.

If you want some light hearted humour featuring Ray....'Final Cut' and 'Love honour and Obey'.

For some very odd reason I hadn't seen SEXY BEAST before. Completely fucking brilliant, you fat cunts. 

Bit more serious and "nouveau noir" than SB, but do check out THE LIMEY lads!..

[tmg]

Another British movie worth seeing is Sex Lives of the Potato Men

[gaseousclay]

just finished watching The Girl With All The Gifts and The Expendables. TGWATG was ok for a zombie movie. I at least thought the concept was interesting enough for that genre. The Expendables was just good blow 'em up action goodness.

SON OF SAUL - true darkness.

I have some more war (related) flicks queued: ARMY OF SHADOWS, MEN BEHIND SUN, TAE GUK GI, BATTLE OF ALGIERS and HAMBURGER HILL. Is that last'un worth watching btw?..

Might even re-visit one of my old favourites: PATHS OF GLORY (Kubrick)…

Just walked of out "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" as Jules was so bored. I could have stayed until the end but for that reason only. Not one of Bessons best [emoji107]

So bored and the woman next to me had some weird sniffing affliction, the film was so tedious that I ended up counting the seconds in between sniffs.. before walking out [emoji1361]

[gaseousclay]

that's unfortunate. I love Besson's work, but a lot of the reviews I had read gave Valerian similar marks, namely that is sucked.

[Seul]

You love Besson's work?.. The guy'd probably make a decent porn flick, but that's about it… I do love The Transporter and Taxi, but as a director, he's just not A-grade material innit...

[gaseousclay]

C'mon, Fifth Element and Leon The Professional are classics

[neph93]

^ agreed, and Nikita obvs.

[Black Orchid]

Leon is one of my favourite films.

[gaseousclay]

I watched Underworld: Blood Wars lastnite. It was marginally less shit than the previous one, but still shit. It was free from the library so what can I say?

[Megatron1505]

Leon was good…..that's about it.

@Megatron1505:

Leon was good…..that's about it.

Try "The Big blue" a cracker of a movie by Luc Besson;

[Black Orchid]

^ now that's another brilliant film

If you haven't watched La Femme Nikita you aren't qualified to make that call. Tour de force, I promise.
