tonyh29 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Think it came out around the same time but I thought the Illusionist was a better film Better plot and better acting But I do like The Prestige as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted September 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Fantastic movie, one of the best i've seen this year. Massive to Fabrice Luchini (Potiche) and Ernst Umhauer who were both absolutely brilliant. Plus, proof if ever it was needed that K.S.Thomas is miles better when she's speaking french (Love Crime another great example).

villaajax Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Just saw a trailer for 42, looks like a good film if you're interested in Baseball. Has anyone seen it? It's been out in America for months already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avengers Assemble I've gone for a mixture of films that I like. Some have amazing cinematography, some have great acting and others are just great entertainment (one or two are pure popcorn entertainment). In the case of 'Drive' I personally think it ticks all of the boxes... Certainly have more time for this list. Whilst I like a lot of the movies on both lists (a lot), Briggamans reads like less of a list of worthy films, precisely because there is some 'popcorn entertainment' on there. It's more balanced than a list of universally renowned as 'worthy' movies. As for the Prestige being the best movie of the 00s... nah. I adore that film, truly, and I do think it's brilliant, but the film suffers for it's plot. It's cleverness, playing with the viewer and replicating the three acts of a magic trick in the structure of the movie is completely undermined when the film's 'Prestige' takes a step too far and it's final 'trick' becomes too cheap. It's a slight issue but it harms the film and stops it being a stone cold classic, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benireduk Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Going to see Rush after the game tonight. Looking forward to it. As an F1 fan, will be interesting to see if its a film you have to be interested in F1 to enjoy. Not really sure what to expect. The reviews are good, but I've seen plenty of bad Motorsport films. Off the top of my head, Senna is the best by a mile, but that was more of a documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 there will be blood bored the shit out of me, another DDL film that if it wasn't for his amazing performance wouldn't be anything special (Lincoln was exactly the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Nuhhhh I wanna do a list. I wouldn't be able to number it though. Might try later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Rush was brilliant. Any F1 fan would love it and the sound of the cars is brilliant in the cinema. Very good how you start off thinking that Lauda is a bit of arrogant "arsehole" but then actually feel sorry for him in the end. Both actors played Lauda & Hunt superbly getting their voices and mannerisms down to a tee. 9/10 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Few films I've seen recently; Star Trek I.D: Average, bit boring and safe. Could have been so much more. 4/10 Lawless: Really enjoyed it, wasn't expecting anything brilliant but was pleasantly surprised by it. Tom Hardy and Guy Pierce were both brilliant. 8/10 Dead Mans Shoes: Heard so much about it over the years and just assumed it was your typical low budget overrated Brit film. Boy was I wrong. Stunning. Superbly acted. Considine was mesmerising. 9/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
