Say “what” again. Say “what” again! I dare you! I double-dare you, motherfucker! Say “what” one more goddamn time!

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009, 7:33 pm

Another new film for me, with a very young looking Jack Nicholson, and a rather less young looking Burt Young.

Cock it!

#23 - Fight Club

I’m following the first rule.

#170 - Letters from Iwo Jima

The “partner” film to Flags of our Fathers, portraying the Battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective.

#58 - Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away)

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009, 8:06 pm

I must confess that I’m not the greatest fan of Studio Ghibli films although Al and Dan love them. This is the first of three on the list, and the only one I’ve seen before.

#161 - Stand By Me

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009, 9:05 pm

This used to be a favourite of mine, but this is the first time I’ve seen it for at least 10 years or so and it’s still as good as ever.

#159 - The Princess Bride

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

#89 - The Great Escape

It’s sing-along-a-theme-tune night.

#25 - The Silence of the Lambs

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009, 8:01 pm

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Another classic film, and one I’ve only just got around to buying on DVD which means I’ve probably not seen it for 10 years or so, so tonight’s viewing is long overdue.
