Movie recommendations

Enjoyed The Irishman, but prob 30-45 mins too long. Best DeNiro has been in years and years.

I have to wait until Nov 22. The book is excellent.
Did the film venture into the murky waters of the Mafia setting up the hit against JFK as the book gave account to? with Sheeran supplying the weapons for the 'hit' plus motive as he saw it, plus his accounts of Jack Ruby hobnobbing regularily with the highest echelons of the Buffalino family.

There is a section (and a running thread) about ties to the Kennedy family (Joe, Jack and Bobby), election "assistance" and Cuba.

Was going to go but saw the run time and thought f**k that, life's too short !

I would say the run time is directly related to it's final home on Netflix.

But not taking it further to connecting mafia ire with that fateful day in Dallas?

Just back from watching The Irishman. Absolutely superb, DeNiro, Pacino and especially Joe Pesci were brilliant. Look forward to watching it again on Netflix.

Dolomite is my name on Netflix wasn't to bad. Quite entertaining in places being based on a true story. Eddie Murphy is a class act in it.

Went to see it last night. Long running time soon went in....really enjoyed it. Totally agree....these 3 can still pull it off.

A very enjoyable film and Eddie Murphy's performance was the film. The Front Page cinema scene was a stand out.

Thought The Irishman was pure shite. Didn't like it at all. Over long, not a compelling story and little if anything in the way of character development.

Nowhere near as good as goodfellas. It will still probably get loads of oscars.

I won't be in a hurry to see it because of De Niro. He is a brutal actor. I struggle to remember a movie he was good in.

Damned if I know why Jackie Brown got such a high score. All I saw was people sitting in diners talking, plus a bit of half interesting action near the end.

Went to see The Irishman last night.  First off, I have read the book "I heard you paint houses" and I was very excited for this film.  A word to the wise, don't bring your lady friend to see it... they wont thank you for it.  It's slow and it is too long.  It's the first time in quite a while that I have seen people get up and leave half way through or even just fall asleep.

Having said all that, I did enjoy it.  I enjoyed the acting.  I enjoyed seeing these legends back on screen and interacting again in a mobster film.  I enjoyed seeing the story I had read come to life.  Yes, it is certainly no Goodfellas.

The killing scenes are quick, cold and brutal. Fascinating.

On a side note I thought Stephen Graham was excellent again.

In fairness, you didn't say he wasn't good in any films, but the struggle must go on.

I haven't seen The Irishman so can't comment on it but there can't be many better actors around. Everything he does is excellent. I watched a film recently called the The Man with the Iron Heart in which he played Himmler, again top-notch.

Meet The Fockers has to be right up there.
