Where Eagles Dare (1968)
One of the greats
Having watched this as a kid it excited me then and can still captivates me now . A true Boys own action film that steams along with no let up. You can almost feel the atmosphere, the cold , the warmth and scenery and buildings that are entered .the cast look freezing in parts with there limited kit and clothing . An amazing soundtrack which makes this a classic movie to watch again and again. All the cast play great parts in this film . Burton and Eastwood especially. We can forgive the accents that would have easily got them
Captured just because of who they are . Real movie stars of the 60s onwards . It was even filmed at real locations in Austria and Bavaria which again leads to its appeal . A worthy movie night.
The Terminal List (2022)
Wow
Superb series .. I've listened to Jack Carrs podcasts for a while now so was really looking forward to this series and it didn't disappoint. Gritty , brutal and realist . You can see Jack Carr took inspiration from some great writers especially David Morrell
Definitely made to be a series and I dragged it into 2 nights as didn't want it to end .Going to read the book now and hoping for season 2 and 3 👌🏼
Hell or High Water (2016)
Superb
Modern day type western bank robbery set in amazing scenery of Texas . All the actors truly deliver on this . Chris Pine is always a great cast tie me in whatever role he plays . Not enough films made like this.
Can't Cope, Won't Cope (2016)
Really enjoyable but a sad ending
Stumbled across whilst going through Netflix one night. The trials and tribulations of 2 friends in Ireland . Think we can all relate to drunken actions and have things can spiral . Was looking forward to season 3 then read the actress who played Danielle sadly passed away in 2019 aged just 33 .Such a tragedy at such a young age.
Captain Marvel (2019)
I loved it
Was great too have a female lead and I think Brie Larson came across very well . For me she was captivating on the screen . I loved it
