Last Film You Watched

Watched Rope last night, was ok, far from the best Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart always good thou.

The whole film is basically in one room, so I'm thinking what other films can people think of on a minimal location ?
Lifeboat, classic film is just on a boat, 12 Angy Men is almost just in the jury room, any others?
Try this one. It's not a room, it's a coffin!

Nothing to Hide (AKA Le Jeu)

This one ties in with both the last film I watched and films which are set in mostly one place. Yay!

Was pleased to see this turn up on Netflix late last year, and have finally got round to watching it. Hopes were high as it's from Fred Cavaye, who made two outstanding French thrillers in Anything for Her and Point Blank - both of which are well worth tracking down. This one isn't a thriller, but is more of a comedy, and it stars Berenice Bejo, who you might recognise from The Artist.

It's set at a dinner party where the guests decide to play a game in which each puts their mobile in the middle of the table, and every text/call that comes in throughout the evening is made public to the whole group. It keeps you interested, and you want to see where it's all heading, although a late twist makes it slightly unsatisfying. It's worth a look if you have Netflix, and is available in both its original French with subs or an English dub.

I love Rope. Glengarry Glenross is set almost entirely in a single sales office. Superb film with a ridiculous cast. Locke with Tom Hardy is completely set in his car, it's very good too imo

Locke doesn`t get a lot of plaudits, due to it not appealing to the masses, but imo it`s Tom Hardy`s finest film.

Love Glengarry Glenross too, a master class in acting by one of the finest ensembles of male actors at the time.
 
Didn't understand Darth Maul being in it
Basically the character got very populer due to the work of Dave Filoni on Clone Wars and Rebels. It showed that Maul had been wasted on The Phantom Menace and still had a tone of potential. Since Disney have been utterly awful with all their new villains in the new SW films (Krennic being the exception) they took the easy route with Maul for potential further use.

Don’t be put off by the strange title, this is a very good film - Anthropoid

Based on the true story of Operation Anthropoid, the WW2 assassination of one of the darkest figures within the Nazi elite - Reinhard Heydrich.

Cillian Murphy is superb in the lead, with a very strong supporting cast.

It was on Film4 so it’ll be repeated.

Recommended.

Years ago I saw a bit of a film with Spacey acting a real douche, but didn't know what it was called. Did a bit of searching online and thought it might be Swimming With Sharks. It wasn't, but fortunately that turned out to be a good film anyway. Have never 'seen' this, but looking at it I think it may be that film I was looking for! :)

My Dad was telling me about this last night and said pretty much the same as you - I wasn't even aware of the story. Absolutely shocking, like most war stories I suppose :confused:
