Films watched in 2017

[MrA]

Thought maybe this could be a thing if there are any film lovers on here. Add yours. Old and new, watched at home, cinema or anywhere in between

I have just been to see A Monster Calls.

It was beautiful, fantastic acting and a very emotional story. Highly recommend.

I could not remember what your film thread was called from a while back @newforest so I've stolen your idea, sorry.

I also watched A Matter of Loaf and Death the other day. I love Wallace and Gromit (and Ardman films in general)

Your title is better as easier to follow.

I can't remember the last film I watched, obviously wasn't that good ha ha.

Last film I watched was rather depressing - it was about a lady bringing her kids up and struggling in America. She turned to people smuggling to make ends meet it was sad really.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Loved it.

Um.
Not sure if latest is a film. What defines a film.

Same as @KP nut The last film I watched was Fantastic Beasts and where to find them. I went with my son to see it. Really enjoyed it.

Not sure as you can get short films, what was it?

I'm currently halfway through Miniscule: Valley of the lost ants.

Absolutely beautiful film, brilliant animation, very cute characters and story. It's all musical no words and it's main character is a ladybird love films like this. I got too tired so I'm saving the end for another day.

The Wombles musical from 1977.

I confess I am a life-long Trekkie. So I have just re-watched the first 2 films and then watched the new one: Star Trek Beyond. Couldn't really follow the very confusing plot! But the dialogue always makes me laugh.

PS I do like the original 6 films, but the new re-booted films are much, much better.

 

[newforest]

Having seen new films re made I still prefer the older original.
If anyone is a Black Beauty fan the best version is I think 1995 or 2005. The one where the horse has a voice and narrates.

Horses are one of the few animals that do not make a sound if they are in pain. It really makes you think about what some must be putting up with.
Mine doesn't put up she bites! And I make the sound on her behalf.

Train spotting I am tempted as saw and loved the first.
It was on recently to refresh me.

I've only seen La La Land, I'm not a huge movie buff so I imagine this won't grow much
