That's supposed to be quite good. Did you like it?

Really great acting, fabulous costumes and set which was meant to have been in 1920.

Definitely a film to recommend.

Greta on Netflix=I didn’t like this film.

 

[Lou]

a few weeks back @Emma JC recommended Family Affair.
It was ok but I would have reservations about recommending it to anyone who wasn't already a big fan of RomComs.
However the acting was really good throughout. and the writing was crisp.
I also don't think I have seen joey king in a movie before. I mostly know her from Taylor Swift videos.
I'll be looking out for another movie with her.

Just finished The Young Woman and the Sea.
It was wonderful.
The two main actresses were great. Especially Daisy Ridley.
It had a big emotional impact.
I teared up a little at the end. Then I started clapping.

I watched Back to the Future last night with Mrs Summer and our daughter. It's one of Mrs Summer's all-time favourite movies, but to our disappointment it did not impress the jaded next generation

I then suggested that next weekend we could watch Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail which is one of my all-time favourites, but this was vetoed

Back to the Future is a classic.

I love so many parts of that movie however when you watch it again you realize that there are a lot of long boring bits to it as well and so many people are unimpressed unless they have some sort of alternative stimulant....

Hmmmm, maybe so! The content that was deemed particularly objectionable at our house on account of being unsuitable to young viewers was the 'temptation of Sir Galahad' scene ... which, in retrospect, I guess I can see.

How about the original Time Bandits. I hear they are remaking it.

Wow, boooooo on the veto! That is in my top three movies of all time!! They should reconsider, lol!

Back to the Future is a classic.

I tried watching it again and an awful lot is so cringy! (more so than when it came out) I didn't feel it held up

I saw it a few years ago and thought it was still good! The bit about him and his Mum is super weird, though!

 

[Emma JC]

have you tried Finding Neverland - it could be very nice for a younger audience

We watched MaXXXine last night which is the third film in the Ti West horror trilogy. I thought it was good, but not at all scary. A bit of a let down. We bought a projector to watch films on.

Have you seen the first two? I had heard is wasn't that scary, too. I don't like scary so I put it on my list just to see what all the buzz was about.

A projector? like the ones that take movie reels? That seems odd in the day of 5K TVs. And they are noisy. and I imagine movies are expensive.
