I agree there are decent films released but I get @bickster 's point. I can't think of anything in the last 3 years that I would rate above Amadeus or 1FOTCN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The thing is cinema is a dying medium. Good movies (and TV) is still being made but it is not what is being shown at the cinema mega screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70s stands out to me as the best decade for cinema. Francis Ford Coppola for instance went on one hell of a run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2018 He did. I can’t say I really ever watched anything he did, but he always seemed like a fairly affable guy. Whenever I see trainspotting, I always find myself slightly surprised to see Dale Winton is in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 That's really sad news. I quite liked that lottery quiz he did and he seemed a decent bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
