Finally got to see Skyfall last night, better than the last Bond film but loads of plot holes as usual. No surprise Javier Bardem played a excellent villain though the story line could have been better.  6.5 out of 10

Javier played an excellent villain (misnomer?) in the film No Country for Old Men.

In NCFOM he was the best villain I have ever seen.

I've just watched Dead Man's Shoes based on the recommendations here. I can only add mine to the list of recommendations. Excellent.

If you enjoyed DMS I would also recommend another Meadows/Consadine film called 'A room for Romeo Brass.' Another cracker.

Hidden (Caché) 2005 was on again last night,  probably BBC4, I forget. which one

Imo, one of the best French films ever. A pure mystery and even after 4 viewings, I'm still somewhat mystified.

Good movie alright, but no Betty Blue!

Yes - thanks for the recommendation - I've been looking at it on IMDB OK and thinking of having a gander at it.

Betty Blue is not a mystery, except that she's a 'sensitive' woman and that in itself naturally brings up a raft of mysterious concepts

It's very rare that you get a well crafted mystery like Hidden, in a film where you are just totally flummoxed as to the identity of the core question at the end and this director pulled it off to absolute perfection.
The 'Hidden' director also did the screenplay and directed the 'White Ribbon' a superb film set in pre WW1 Germany.
It's "different class", Billy.

Must have a look for 'White Ribbon' - is it recent?

2009,

Subtitled and B&W as well.

What I got from the film is where the roots of German fascism were bearing fruit, the transformation/rejection of the old order into some new direction which eventually turned out be fascism. The Treaty of Versailles was just 'incidental'. But that's just personal and the film is about so much more on human behavior, social norms and  reactions to that.

Have you watched 'Heimat'; chronicling life in a German village from 1919 (eventually to 1980s)?

I liked it anyway.  A bit surreal in places.
