Watched the remake of The magnificent seven .. it was good but nowhere near as good as original.. I wonder does young ones watch many westerns now or is that genre gone .. I was reared on them.

Nope not at all, tried getting my young teenagers into old movies, they haven't the time for them at the minute unless it's got the newest stars and 'proper' effects!

Might get into them as they get older and start to recognise how good the big films were... watched The Searchers the other day, brilliant still timeless

Was never a fan of Westerns myself my Dad was huge into them at the time but they just don't appeal to me at all.

Would never have watched westerns while younger, no doubt as deemed them old...love them now though

I don't know about the recent remake but the Magnificent Seven 1960 was one of the most overrated films of all time, not a patch on the Japanese original.
Though the older classics  like High Noon and 3.10 to Yuma are timeless, even if the clock does ominously tick away in both of them.

I was watching westerns with my dad while others my age were still watching Care Bears.. they probably came with 15 certificate.. don't think it done me any harm ...

I watch all genres of films apart from horror .. I scare very easily..Is there any good not really scary horrors?

[Main Street]

Any good  but not really scary horrors?

I suppose that cuts out Tyrone football videos.

Same as yourself Leenie - used to watch the Westerns on a Tuesday (I think) night on BBC 2 with my dad when mum was at work. Cowboy supper, sausages, beans, toast.

I enjoyed the remake of the Magnificent 7. Certainly worth the watch.

Bad Santa

always a good way to start off the xmas movie season

[AZOffaly]

Santa Claus the Movie is my favourite Santa Movie. Onslow's wife in Keeping up Appearances is in it as Missus Claus.

Still angry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jadotville#Background

How true is this? I realise there is a bit of Hollywood involved, but how much?

If there is even 25% of the truth involved, then the way these men were treated is beyond shameful.

It's a pretty accurate account of what happened, Muppet.

Declan Power's book

Just finished the book (Audible).

Well worth getting (eBook available €3.68).

If you didn't like Conor Cruise O'Brien, but weren't sure why, this is the book (or movie) for you.

So she is! Never realised that. I wonder how that movie would've went had Onslow been Santy!

Rogue One was great. Lives up to the name of the series more than any other entry.

Great movie. In fact, the last 2 films have been great additions.

+1

Final battle scene alternating from ground to space was just proper cinema.
