Arlington Road very intense, well Tim Robbins is an intense actor, so no surprise. Whilst thinking of him, did you see Mystic River? Plot twists and Tim Robins = Jacob's Ladder This clip almost feels/looks/sounds like a parody to begin with, but it's not. Angel Heart was good too considering Mickey Rourke was in it.

We took a shortcut home through a mire, but soon we were running for our lives, imagining gaping jaws after us at every step, laughing at our fear, yet terrified. Try doing a paper round after watching an Ian Brady documentary! sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Spielbergs' first full-length film Duel. A bit dated now but on first viewing it was threatening throughout. Deej, Rev, RadioactiveWaste and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not a film unless you binge them all together, pretend you didn't see the end credit and intro from each episode....but Amazon's Leeds United documentary the ending was just sublime.

We watch telly very infrequently nowadays. (Been on one evening in the last fortnight). But I'd happily watch all that again in one sitting. Even knowing how things have since turned around, as an on-screen spectacle, it was the purest of comedy gold. *What do you mean, it wasn't a comedy? I think you'll find it was! ?

Two of them star Sean Penn, two of them Tim Robbins. There’s also Denzel Washington, Kevin Bacon, Jeff Bridges and John Goodman in amongst the three. arlington road, Fallen, Mystic River Mr. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Sixth Sense. Remember watching it in the cinema and my spine going cold as I realised what was unfolding... The Matrix. When I realised Neo was plugged into the system...blew my mind. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jaws came out there were no PG and 12 ratings. They came later. The ratings at the time were U, A, AA, X. Remember those? Not confusing at all!

Angel Heart was good too considering Mickey Rourke was in it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loved Jacob's Ladder. A group of us who'd watched it adjourned to the pub after and sat there in silence we were so shell-shocked. Angel Heart great too. Mrs Sagan always goes on about how she'd love to see Alien at the cinema after a memory wipe, so not knowing what happens. I'll turn it around and say some films improve on multiple showings when you're aware of the overall story but looking for the pointers that you might have missed first time around. I think Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind make more sense on second-plus viewing. Bob The Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
