Mark Albrighton Posted August 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2018 Out of those two mentioned, Shoe dip. 100%. Never felt so bad for a cartoon shoe. I remember as a child being freaked out watching the boy(s) transforming into Donkeys bit in Pinocchio. Think I’ve only ever seen that film once, but that bit stayed with me for ages.

I think he may have touched up Christopher Robin as a child. #MeToo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Two movies came to my attention today that somehow I'd missed. Both look pretty grim, frankly. First - A post apocalyptic film in which the entire Northern Hemisphere is wiped out. Fred Astaire races in the World's last Grand Prix in Australia. It's a pretty hazardous event as everyone is going to die anyway, crashing and burning all around. It's called 'On The Beach', it's from 1959 but there seems to be a remake in 2000 as a mini series. There's lots more to it than this scene, but Fred Astaire does 'Death Race 2000' does sound intriguing. Second - 'Plague Dogs'. Made by the team that made 'Watership Down'. Looks even more harrowing. Starts in an animal lab, finishes with everyone out to kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted August 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2018 Plague Dogs is brilliant. Certainly not for kids as I found out when I first watched it as one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 On the Beach is a bit of a 50's classic. Gregory Peck and a young Antony Perkins of Psycho fame. Lots of Waltzing Matilda. Rather sad and depressing overall but drunken Fred Astaire rant scene is worth it alone imo. Spoiler "I shouldn't drink, you know. I inevitably say something brilliant." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly filmed at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, Georgia O'Keefe's former home. Landscapes should be stunning then. I was there a couple of weeks ago flying my drone around until the wind grabbed it a took it flying towards a set of buildings Let us know if it's worth a watch.

The answer is probably the subway scene in Irreversible, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a film but I got really sad when Fraser was tricked into going down an alley and beaten up in Due South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I watched Jason Bourne again. I swear every Bourne film I've slept through when watching it the first time, then really enjoyed it when giving it another go and this was the same. There's something about Alicia Vikander as well, it's like her face is so perfect it's been made using a computer algorithm or something. Could do without the background music throughout though. Perhaps it's the same in the previous four films and I've just not noticed it as much, but it's a little annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear that was out a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
