Movie recommendations

I don't remember Glory, but Das Boot was brilliant, though it could have done without that ending, the ultimate bummer.

For American Civil war, the Gettysburg tv drama film, 4hours +, is the standard, maybe  I'm more partial towards the southern generals  Jackson, Lee, Longstreet & Stuart and the southern rebels usually get a raw deal in the movies.

Das Boot is one a few films that I thought ran the book close.

Working my way through Ken Burns nine part Civil War series on PBS, fantastic viewing.

Watched "The Divide" last night on Netflix.
It was a decent show and worth a watch.

I watched "Wild Bill" the other night. Dreadful film.

I watched that Keith Lemon film the other day.

I expected it to be garbage. It was.

I thought ye were a man with a bit of know-how hardstation. I'm shocked at ye.

I only found out who yer man keith lemon was in October when I went to live in liverpool, some boy had a t-shirt of a pic of keith lemon on it and I asked me mate who this boy was. They all started to laugh at me. I didn't give a feck; i thought he was a tube and when me mate told me a bit of info about him; I realised i was correct-- he was a tube.

I watched it a while back. Wasnt the best film I've ever seen, but I certainly wouldn't call it dreadful.

Just watched Dial M For Murder on DVD tonight. Hard to beat.

Love the old Hitchcock flicks, especially when they have the Hitchcock festival at a local cinema near here where they have the boy playing the old organ coming up out of the floor between shows.  An ornate old cinema with a balcony and all.

Watched a few Hitchcocks in September, enjoyed Dial M for Murder as well as North by Northwest, To Catch a Thief and Rear Window.  Want to see Vertigo, The Birds and Psycho next.

As for Cabin In the Woods, as I mentioned a few months ago it is the biggest pile of dung I have ever saw.  Someone on this board actually disagreed though.

I think North by Northwest and Rear Window were the pinnacle of Hitchcock's career.  Vertigo and The Birds are a bit "out there" and very different from the standard spy thriller, but great stuff all the same.

Seen Jack Reacher, must say that I very pleasantly surprised.

Watched the Crying Game for the first time last night. Really can't make my mind up whether it was good or utter shite. Strange one.

I watched "Wild Bill" the other night. Dreadful film.

Funny you should mention this film as it was also on the  now discarded "must see films of 2012" list which led me to waste two plus hours of my life in watching Cabin in the Woods. Presume it is the most recent Brit Gangster film you are talking about.

Won't be watching it anytime soon so.
