Ike: Countdown to D-Day. Starring Tom Selleck as Eisenhower. Pretty good film.
Hooper. THE Hollywood stuntman and stuntwoman film. Easily Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields and Jan Michael Vincent's best film as well, and criminally under rated.
Now a lurker. See you at the forums.
A Nightmare On Elmstreet Part 2 Freddys Revenge
Meh. I was bored, so I just watch it for the giggles. I saw the Ho Yay now, and can't say i'm amused.
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
The last half or so of the Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes version of "A Scandal in Bohemia"
Bloody good stuff from the best t.v. Sherlock by far.
Happy New Year!
Whoo... Better than Sherlock?

In my view, yes. I had a longer post explaining why I feel that way written but I don't want to go off-topic.

Can't complain, good work.

Backdraft again. Not my fault; ITV put it on!
Such bolloc.ks from a firefighting perspective, but I just love it to bits.
Apart from that...RED.
Silly action movie, just the way I like them. My mates all say Marvin reminds them of me and I have no idea how to take that.

Jonesy, as far as I have been able to find out, most of the stuff depicted in Backdraft about what the Chicago Fire Department got up to both in some of the fires and in their attitudes towards fire, the way they dealt with it and themselves and the losses they took in the process was straight-up documentary for the periods of time shown.
The CFD had a massive casualty rate for long periods of its history, and they were almost proud of that. Indeed the screenplay was written by a former Chicago Fire Department member who lost mates in that culture. The film may have been exaggerated quite a bit, but it came from a real place and a long time ago, far before 9/11.
Plus the film's top technical adviser was the real-life Shadow. The way they dealt with fire on the whole was different then than you are used to now, or in recent British history.
Happy New Year!

Honestly it's your own fault for watching ITV in the first place
Don't knock ITV all that much, matey. They usually have better films available to watch than the Beeb ever wants to show. Given that all the BBC cares about are its lamentable evening and daytime soap operas/long form commercials for the Samaritans, and its panel and game shows. Sometimes to the exclusion of the show that almost everyone likes about the BBC - "Doctor Who".
ITV seem to have the digital free-to-air rights for four of the bigger cash-cow franchises - James Bond, Star Wars, Harry Potter and the Matrix trilogy.
Film Four has the Tolkien-verse films sewn up, BBC has the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and I'm not really sure what /spit Sky has glued to its horrible Foxian hands.
Hunting Human
(2002): Like a zero-budget version of Dexter Season One.

Oh, I don't mean in terms of procedure; I've heard about CFD's reputation. I meant the way the fire acts. I've had a few run-ins with the Beasty now and it nearly got me once, and it just isn't like in the film at all.
Radiated heat is a thing in real life, for a start, as are fire gasses (that's 'smoke' to everyone who doesn't wander around in it...).
Aye, ah ken. (Yes I know, for the non-Scots out there). All I know is I was fucking glad just to be facing the possibility of nuclear weapons attacks, chemical weapons, artillery fire and horrible cookhouse food at the time, as my eyesight was shitty enough not to be a fireman but not shitty enough to stop me being a squaddy.

Heh. I dunno. Maybe I have found my calling. I miss being shot at, though.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'
Now You See Me. It was pretty dang good, if I do say so myself. Figured out quite a bit of the plot ahead of time though.
The Last Picture Show. I can see why it's in the Criterion Collection. It's an interesting movie, and it's nice to see what were the first major steps of Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd (Randy Quaid was also there). In fact, it was Cybill Shepherd's debut, and oh my.
It's well made. Bogdanovich used to be really good back in the 70's and 80's. Though I'll check the sequel, Texasville, which was made in the 90's (which has Bridges, Shepherd, Quaid and others reprising their roles).

The Raid. It was good, better than I had expected, though I'm not much of a martial arts fan.
I am a 2000AD fan, though, so I still prefer Dredd...
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'
Movie 43. It was... interesting.
Mad Scientist Wannabe
I was flipping between Star Trek The Motion Picture, Space Jam, and Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great
Live and Let Die. Great film.
Happy New Year!
^^^Heh, I love the fact it's framing device is a madman is forcing a Hollywood executive to listen to his god-awful ideas for movies. said executive managers to get the gun off him but decides to greenlight the movies anyway to take revenge on his boss the sleeping with his wife
It's the only conceivable way this movie could be made

Uuuuhh... Marvin was amusing. It's a compliment! 
My friends and I watched When the Game Stands Tall. We liked it. :) There were some surprising Mood Whiplashes though.
