@Draco_V_Ecliptic Drive and Only God Forgives are sort of like Inherent Vice. And even if they are not, just watch Drive if you haven't already because it is a brilliant film.

@JohnnyShoulder Ooh, Drive’s a great shout. Loved that movie and the soundtrack’s brilliant too. L.A. Confidential’s good as well but I find it kinda hard to watch Kevin Spacey now. Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai is another great neo-noir, albeit pretty off-the-wall.
@LN78@JohnnyShoulder I actually haven’t read the book but a few of my friends have been urging me to. It’s always interesting when there’s plot elements left out of adaptations, that’s why I’m slightly apprehensive about this new Dune movie. I think what we’ve learned from this is that there’s loads of great neo-noir movies from the past 30-odd years 😂😂
@nessisonett One of my favourite films is 'Let the Right One In', a swedish vampire horror. It is based on the book and it has some really weird and quite horrendous subplots involving peadophiles etc. that just doesn't gel. The film ignores that and I also found out the books author did the screenplay so I found it interesting he removed the worst element of the book.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@LN78 Thanks, they're all going on my Wishlist except for The Master ,which I have already seen already. I didn't enjoy it that much actually, didn't think it really "went anywhere". Meh, there are other films I guess.

Pitch Black is getting a 4k release in August! I love that film, another one to add to my list. Also some more deets on what extra are included on the Flash Gordon Limited Edition.
@LN78 No not yet, it is not out until end of October so will wait until nearer the time. There are few special editions which I would like to get such as The Shining before I get that. The Big Lebowski one looks quite cool too.

Hobbes and Shaw was hilarious and a really enjoyable movie from start to finish. I still maintain that Idris Elba is terrible but his part didn’t require much acting ability. I appreciated seeing the weird splicing of London landmarks and Glasgow streets as they drove past the Greggs and Pret I sometimes go in for lunch. Never thought I’d see the day when The Rock would drive past Livi Tower, where I spend so many hours at Uni!
@JohnnyShoulder I watched 8 yesterday and actually forgot to write about it! Honestly not much to say, it wasn’t that great to be honest. Next one’s 9, which comes out in cinemas next year due to coronavirus. I’ll probably end up going to see it at this rate!
I was gonna say @RogerRoger that the subtitle we got of Salazar's Revenge was really naff instead of the pirate based "Dead Men Tell No Tales" when we first mentioned it 😂
I'm surprised to see the third end up first on your list... But then again I seem flip flop rather hard on how I feel about the Pirates films other then the first so whom am I to argue? 😅
I thought they cancellesd the sixth though didn't they? They were rebooting it without Johnny Depp last time I heard!
