I absolutely love John Candy in pretty much every film he's in. Even his cameo in little shop of horrors is great.

PTA I've seen about 30 times and never fails to brighten my mood.

Awful boring film.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not one for you then clearly

I do facking hate that they smashed up a priceless antique Martin guitar though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah that’s unforgivable- surely a replica?

I’m not a fan of tarrantino find there’s a lot of filler dialog he that gets mistaken for ‘clever’ when it’s just filler. Though I did love the set era recreation of once upon a time- it was fantastic.

No replica - but Kurt Russell thought it was. Jennifer
Jason Leigh's shock is apparently genuine.

It was supposed to be but it wasn't.

Absolutely heartbreaking for a guitar nerd like me

Wow. Destroy something priceless for that awfully dull movie.

This is an interesting comment actually. The tipping dialogue at the start of Reservoir Dogs (another great film) for me was originally just a random conversation that felt like filler but a friend of mine who is a much bigger movie buff explained how it's just setting up all of the characters.

Speaking about guitars in movies, it annoys me greatly that Michael J Fox is in 1955 playing a 1958 guitar in Back to the Future...

Apparently they went to Norm's rare guitars for a period correct guitar and they said no to the actual period correct guitar because this one looked better

I need to revisit that movie - haven’t seen it in years. I may revise my opinion. Hateful 8 seemed to have loads of filler. It did tension very well later in the movie, but by then I didn’t care. Once upon a time needed cut down by removing filler too. I find I see that in a lot of his films. Some may see it as character building, and in some cases might be successful but a lot seems to serve no real purpose, or he fails to build the character through it.

Inception
Pet detectives
The Truman show
Forrest Gump
Click
The bourne movies (Matt Damons)
The departed
Django the original & unchained
Scarface
The godfathers

I quite liked once upon a time but it felt like a bit of a rambling mess of a story.

Lots of unrealistic conversations leading up to a bit of a nonsensical violent scene. Enjoyable but I didn't come out of it thinking what a great story it was.

I actually think this is what makes things like the Inbetweeners so good. The conversation was all very very realistic, Royle Family was excellent at that too.

I always feel diologue in US movies and TV shows feels far too clever and forced, and nothing like a real everyday conversation.

Oh and the wind that sakes the barley

Inbetweeners is awesome- top5 goat comedy show for me. Consistently and brilliantly funny. Totally agree on that.

Little shop of horrors (The version with candy) is great

One of my guilty pleasures and I grew up hiring it out weekly from the local video shop

If anyone puts the shawshank redemption in their list they should be put down.

One of Barry Normans’ lesser published reviews

Titanic

Sorry wrong thread.

In no order…

Aliens
Platoon
Shawshank
Terminator
Indians Jones
Lotr
City of god
Gladiator
Das boot
La confidential

Special mentions
Goonies(perfect 80s adventure comedy they can’t make like that anymore)
1917- absolutely hauntingly beautifully shot
Be some I’ve forgot here.

In no particular order:

LOTR ROTK
Star Wars
ET
Godfather 1 or 2
Back to the Future
End Game
Thor Ragnarok
Forrest Gump
The Dark Knight rises
The Matrix
Back to the Future

Robocop - original
Aliens
Die Hard
Predator
Master & Commander
The Usual Suspects
The Matrix
Fight Club
The Goonies
Empire Strikes Back

Once npe joins the thread I’ll do my worst list. Top : there will be blood.

Crazy to think that John Candy was in his 30s when making the likes of Buck and P,T&A. Looked so much older.

I need to rewatch LA confidential ….I know I’ve seen it but can’t remember it at all other than I know I enjoyed it

Kevin Spacey is a great actor ….Swimming With Sharks and American Beauty very good films , especially Swimming With Sharks
