The Apartment 1959
Trying to work my way through those films from the American Film institute top 100 of all time that I’ve either not seen or not seen in the last 10-15 years or so. Some absolute gash in there and some head scratchers, like Citizen Kane at No1.
Anyhow, The Apartment one of the better ones. Light and easy watch 7.5/10

I think you have to take the artistry of the filmmaking and it's influence when stuff like Citizen Kane is ranked as No1 of all time or whatever as it's clearly nonsense to have a definitive best of all.

It's a ridiculously well made film combining huge timeless themes, great cinematography remains coherent while jumping all over a timeline and predating the Rashomon definition with numerous unreliable narrators.

And to cram all that into 2 hours, nowadays it would be a laborious 36 episode series on Netflix. It'd be 7 hours in before we get to Mr.Thatcher knocking on the the mother's door as a child plays in the snow.....

Noelle 6/10 - decent film and story, inevitable ending.
I'm all for change, and inspiring underrepresented groups.... but just Why, go there.

Spoiler

Santa is a Man, Father Christmas... just shouldn't mess with that IMO... maybe I'm an old fart

Saw Mank last night at the cinema. I thought it was great but you need to know a lot of the characters from Hollywood back in the day to get perspective. Gary Oldman was excellent.

Just seen it, as you say Oldman is brilliant, think it capture's the 1930s well.
Amanda Seyfried is also great as Marion Davies

@ClausThomsen have you seen Mank? Seen you talking about Kane above

See a Serbian Film is getting the uncut, uncensored version release

Considering the cut version is utterly traumatic, I’d hate to see what this involves

I caught this online when it came out so wondering if that was the cut or uncut version? I can’t even stick my Dark Web hat on and even came up with any worse scenes unless they’ve got that Lostprophets singer in as creative director.

Just finished watching Monsters of Men, on Iptv, brand new film as far as I know, I thought it was absolutely superb, from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I watched full force about a guy who fires a missile at a school, thought it was excellent.

Hex - Micro budget period psych-horror about two English civil war soldiers from opposing sides seemingly trapped in a forest controlled by a witch - that's it. Director has enjoyed 'A Field In England' I think and there's echoes of Blair Witch, and the premise is familiar from Enemy Mine/Hell In The Pacific and many others - adversaries banding together to face a new foe.

This had a budget of about £1000 apparently, and do you know what... I've seen many films that cost millions more that weren't half as good. It knows its limits and doesn't overstretch itself, doesn't spoon feed the audience with exposition or an 'easy' ending, the cinematography, direction and editing are often really good, acting is fine, bit 6th form drama at times but perfectly fine and both the lads have their moments, excellent soundtrack as well.

You're in and out in under 90 minutes.

Well worth a look, on Prime.
