ONeill

I liked Mr Brooks but it was fairly panned at the time. Demi Moore was shite though.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Yeah, I much preferred her in Striptease, some acting

Yellowstone is excellent.

I wouldn't go quite that far.

Interesting idea and premise about the real collision of cultures and opposing claims on these landscapes (not just in the American west), excellent cinematography and action, but the plots are so ridiculously over the top and unrealistic it could be a cartoon.

Dances with Wolves is brilliant.  I also loved Costner in For the Love of the Game and Mr Brooks.

Field of Dreams is a superb film. Also loved 13 Days (has Bruce Greenwood, another actor I like), No Way Out, The Untouchables and even Oliver Stone's ludicrous JFK.

The less said about the likes of Robin Hood, the better, even if Alan Rickman is good fun in it. :)

It may have been ludicrous, but I'd read the book and the film just dotted the i's for me, whether any of it is close to the actual truth or not it made for good reading/film watching...Agreed on No way out, great plot and twist

That's a blast from the past - haven't watched it in years. Used to watch it all the time

Don't think I ever sat down and watched it from start to finish.  Seen bits n pieces at Christmas time but maybe I will this weekend

It's got Ray Liotta and James Earl Jones too. Well worth a watch.

We like to watch an "oldie" on Saturday nights. Just a random movie from a random year.
Last night was Interview with the Vampire. Years since I've seen it but I thought it was/still is great.

The new predator film is actually very good

Watched Nowhere Special the other day, eyes were watering the whole way through - never again.

I'll second that. Watched it at the weekend and thought it was great and with a rare short running time it was the icing on the cake.
