Latest/recent DVD movies watched? (Part 10)

The other night I re -watched the first James Bond film-Dr No. It now belongs in what could be deemed as "risible / period -quant territory" The many references - to Dr No and his villianous perchant for dealing and handling radio active material..... are simply hilarious. A case example of a film's character - maybe - becoming radio active... so....."Oh!. You got contaminated!....Well now, simply stand here - on some horizonal moving track platform device and you will be washed by a row of showers....See your problem is solved" is the insane message. . OR ....during the film 's climax in the film: the depicted 'funny, silly & false behaviour of the exposed 'core' material , when exposed out of its water cooling chamber to the natural air.... during the DR No /James Bond final fight scene.
Reminds me of seeing the very oldest version of Flash Gordon with Buster Crabbe - where a suspended vacuum cleaner ' is blurting out exhaust smoke 0rings " served as a rocket ship. I also loved and freaked out at the same Flash Gordon's space ship control panels..... the film set decorators must have -at that time- run down to the local hardware shop and brought any form of knobs & taps they could lay their hands on.
DR NO is now THAT dated and ancient. Many of the following films in the series are also , gaining the same mantle.

 

3 Days To Kill - Mediocre at best. I would have enjoyed a simple action film much more. The family problems and terminal disease stuff just killed the flow.

 

Yes! I noticed it was very "dated". Best to watch as period snapshot of the time.
Pity, Connery/Andress are still good.

 

C'mon man. You can't be holding the first Bond film (or any of them for that matter) to real life.

 

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.(2009)
Herzog/Lynch
Great soundtrack.

 

Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II directors cuts. I don't care what anyone says, I love these films.

 

The Passion...

 

Pompeii

 

me too! and the bonus features are fabulous! hours on end...

 

I can't believe they didn't use the B-52's Lava in the soundtrack!

 

Casino Royale. 2006
Love to contradict myself.
But this is the best Bond movie.

 

Azumi (2-disc set)

 

The Drowning Pool 1975 - This is second tier Paul Newman but I still like it. Those used to modern movie pacing would probably fall asleep trying to watch it, but I enjoy the feel of this one.

 

thankfully they did not...we enjoyed the movie much to the chagrin of others...

 

I got a kick out of it but they should change the title to The Gladiators Of Pompeii Or How I Learned To Love The Volcano.

 

yes, the Gladiator part was a treat...it was fun seeing John Snow kick Gladiator ass...

 

Cinderella Man...

 

Just watched The Rutles movie for the 1st time in years and it was so much better than I remembered. I really enjoyed it.

 

it's incredibly funny! Love "George"! Eric did a fab Paul as well...I enjoy #2 as much!

 

Jamaica Inn (1939 - Hitchcock)

 

Hey bro..... 2 Fast 2 Furious.

 

Oblivion
Fast and Furious 6

Embarrased to admit this, but I think I liked F&F more

 

The US vs John Lennon...

 

The Place Beyond the Pines

 

First half Oblivion great, second half...anticlimatic ending.
F&F6 much more entertaining.
