Watched Goodfellas again for the first time in a while last night, such a good film.
The best ever in my opinion.
Absolutely love Goodfellas. One of my mates loves it so much I can still get a bite out of him every time we talk about it even now by eventually dropping into the conversation something like, "still, it's not as good as Dances with Wolves is it?"
Gets him every time without fail - he hates the fact it didnt win the Oscar and lost out to Dances with Wolves!
Just done him again - my missus is watching Dances with Wolves on 5 Action so just texted my mate to tell him you can see why it won the Oscar. He just can't help himself and HAS to bite every single time!
Am watching it and completely misremembered it from my childhood. Watching in HD is great, but shows up the ketchup a bit…
Had thought the redcoats had been beaten, but spoiler alert, clearly not!
They were smashed to pieces earlier in the day - which is shown at the start of the film and also in the prequel film, Zulu Dawn, which came out years after - but in this one it was probably an honourable draw.
I'm not a car person at all, but really enjoyed Le Mans 66 last time it was on. Can't remember if I've seen Heat, so might watch that tonight.
Big question of the day is, did aliwibble watch Heat or not?
Yep, and I hadn't seen it before, although had seen a few clips here and there (especially the diner scene) which was why I wasn't sure. Good film, but longer ago than I thought, given Natalie Portman was still playing a kid in it.

SISTER ACT 2: BACK IN THE HABIT
Watched one of your early recommendations today Beds, Pursuit of Happiness. Really enjoyed it. I’ve managed to watch more films in the last six days than I had in the whole rest of the year

Violent Night. Watched it last night.Absolutely crackers. Think Die Hard, with Father Xmas and a sledge hammer. David Harbour is very funny in it. Not for the faint hearted.

Me and the wife watched it on Christmas night. It was a lot of fun.
Missed No Time to Die at the cinema so cheers for the heads up Beds.
Enjoyed it, much stronger than Spectre.
The bad guy's plan was a bit undercooked (though Rami Malek did well with what they gave him) but the plot with Madeleine and Mathilde worked really well.

I love that film . Glad to be of assistance
Any father watching the scene in the subway toilet will do well to hold it together. Heart wrenching.
One other thing about Bond - was it me missing it, or was there not a lot of advertising for the terrestrial premiere of a Bond film that only came out about 18 months ago?
Comments
A good choice today, I’d watch the one to avoid if there was nothing else on.
And Goodfellas is another incredible one, let down only slightly by an underwhelming last 5 minutes, but I guess you could say that's the point.
