Just checked and it's Korean - been watching a few things from there and read a couple of books too recently.

Will start with the original - cheers @BAD LUCK DUCK !

Now that sounds like something we'd watch - and if an 'original' version exists, that's usually what Ms S and I prefer.

Will check it out

DS

It will be subtitles though...

Watched ‘look up’

The parallels with todays political status was quite hilarious

Agreed. Watched it this afternoon. Good entertainment and thought provoking in a light hearted way.

I watched a Korean film about cookery, it was the Dog's Bollocks!

 

[Big Sandy]

Well the last film I watched, because the wife wanted to, was the re-make, or should I say murder of, Blithe Spirit. What an utter pile of shite they turned it into.

Didn't they just.

Watched Sandra Buttocks in "The Unforgivable" Was okay... Didnt end how I expected.

Not much violence or such, but it was watchable.

Just binge watched The Witcher on Netflix. Enjoyed that!

The wife’s been binging the Witcher for the past fortnight both series - pretty good

If she liked that, and you can get Prime, point her in the direction of "Wheel of time". It's good, but ends too soon, ready for 2nd season, left hanging.

Has one so-called celeb, Rosamund Pike.

There’s a Dan Brown one as well Symbol or something??

The lost symbol. It was good, but Eddie Izzard spoiled it for me. Not a fan of the Izzard.

[Foxy]

I tried watching that turned it off after 5 minutes

Wish I had!! Our gert kept wantin to turn it off, but I kept sayin that it's got to pick up soon....................

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

"Lavender Hill Mob"...

I like the old Ealing comedies...

 

[Big Sandy]

I watched the original of "The Lady killers" over the seasonal junket break.

They did a remake of that too, think it had Tom Hanks in? Wasn't as good, it was murrican.

Yep, great humour, love 'em.

'Passport to Pimlico' - prompted Ms S, who grew up outside the UK, to comment 'Of course you like it, they all sound like your family!'

Didn't know they had remade it..
I have very little to no interest in seeing the Tom Hanks version now I am aware of it...

 

[MartytheMartian]

I have no interest in anything Tom Hanks has ever done and I have no idea why he is supposedly considered one of the greatest actors ever. Something about him just makes me want to slap him whatever role I see him in.

 

[Foxy]

And I'm the total opposite. I like a lot of t'films he's made.

 

[MartytheMartian]

That's fair enough @Foxy as, if we all liked the same things it would be a dull world. I prefer a spot of James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, John Mills and all the other 'greats' of the past, I always wonder why so few of the 'clasics' are shown these days. I'd love to see more Cagney, Marx Brothers, Bogart etc. films.

 

[Scrappy]

I always wonder why so few of the 'clasics' are shown these days.

Possibly because a few snowflakes might be offended, melt, and breakdown in to a blubbering mess, at any depiction of life that isn't all warm and cosy wrapped in cotton wool.

I watched "A Bridge Too Far" the other day on TV, and before the film started there was a warning saying it contained disturbing scenes that some people might find upsetting. FFS!! These films were shown when I was a kid, and no one ever got "upset". A lot of the great war movies were made and shown within the life times of those that served, who witnessed the horror first hand, or within a few years of the loss of a family member... but no one needed trigger or upset warnings before a film was shown up until very recently.

Make sure your channel list is up-to-date - there are a few channels that mainly do old films.

We regularly record stuff to watch.
