Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

I enjoyed it. Daniel Craig did a good job on the character I thought. 7/10
A classic whodunnit and this had a few good actors too tbf.

Erah some people don't get the character.....

Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc continues his flamboyant style, described as "hammy" by some, but in a nuanced way that adds humor and charm, evolving with new quirks like his love for musical theater while still delivering brilliant detective work, making him a consistently entertaining, eccentric Southern sleuth in this darker, church-themed mystery.

The cold weather last night put me in mind to watch "The Shining" again.

Obviously it's a classic and we all know the "Danny! DANNY BOY!" and "Heeeere's Johnny!" bits but I forgot how good Nicholson is when he's doing the more subtle scenes. Like where he has a chat with Lloyd the barman.

"A momentary loss of muscular coordination. I mean, a few extra foot-pounds of energy, per second, per second..."

The two scenes with llloyd (and then Grady) are my faves in the flick

Lloyd was played by the same actor who plays Tyrell in blade runner

A Spielberg alien movie. Looks cool.

There's a new Netflix documentary which contends that 1975 represents the pinnacle of Hollywood cinema. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws came out that year among many other releases. But it's really the 1970s that are special. French Connection, Godfather I and II, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, Star Wars, All the President's Men to name a few. You could go into long-form TV such as Columbo or Spielberg's debut Duel. There's no comparable output in any decade since. I'd maintain the same about music but that's another post. Flares and lapels aside, the Seventies was the best.

I think the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s all had merit in film making as they took their time to write scripts, cast and develop characters properly.

This was a time when films along with sports were prime time entertainment and had a very little other competitors and distractions unlike today.

The shit being served up in cinemas today is 95% garbage, I really don’t know how they are still a viable business when the clear shift in Hollywood has been from the big screen to Netflix, Amazon etc

You went from the studio system of the 30s-50s to the autuer driven cinema of the 70s.

Heavily influenced by the French new wave of the 60s you had genre pictures replaced by story driven cinema.

Ford Coppala, Spielberg, Friedken, Polanski etc. It largely fizzled out in the 80s with the high concept blockbuster.

You say the line 'we'll make him an offer he can't refuse' and everyone knows what movie you're talking about. I could hardly name a line of dialogue from all those Marvel movies.

I doubt a film like the Godfather would get greenlit today
