I came up with most of it during the day at work. As said, they aren't the best ever made: just ones I enjoy. Any questions about the ones you've never seen? |

Not really. Some of them I haven't seen because I don't like the general plot. For instance having seen the Kill Bill films and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn, where Tarantino plays an all too realistic twisted psychopath I don't like his almost cartoon level of violence so I wouldn't really consider watching any of his others. I mean its an interesting change in the last one to see Clooney going against his normal role to play an evil villain. Some of the others I might have seen over the years but forgotten and too many really to talk about.

In-universe movie titles seen in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. William Shakespeare's King Lear is apparently a homage to a scene in Last Action Hero. It is worthy to note Last Action Hero flopped because it was released the same week as Jurassic Park. Jack and the Behnstalks is a "sequel" to Jack, also starring Robin Williams.  Tsunami Sunrise starring Tom Hanks.  |

This coming Friday, I am going to see Alien at the cinema. They are showing it due to the 40th anniversary of its' release. I've seen it before but a big screen showing sounds just great. Beware of the chest-poppers!
Catching up on this thread, but I saw James' comment above and wanted to comment.
I was trying to explain to my friend's son that he has grown up knowing Sigourney Weaver's Ripley was an action hero.
When his father and I were sitting in a theatre watching Alien for the first time, EVERYONE in the theatre KNEW that Captain Dallas (the great Tom Skerritt's character) was going to defeat the alien. And then the alien got him too, and it turned out Ripley was the victor and survivor... Heroes can come from anywhere, and anyone can be one. Ask Audie Murphy!
I'll echo Senior Chief as well on liking Westerns.
James, I'll recommend a couple for you with British actors:
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw, with the always BRILLIANT Kenneth More, and a very easy-on-the-eyes Jayne Mansfield. A comedy, and a good one, but a western nonetheless.
Gold of the Seven Saints, with the chiseled Clint Walker some young kid named Roger Moore playing his partner. Also titled Gold of Santa Angelina.
Regards,

Remember The Godfather? In the book and the film, there is a character Jonny Fontane. He asks his Godfather to get him a part in a film and that is done: the horse's head.
The actor in the film was an Italian-American singer. He was given the role then had it taken away from him so someone else could play Fontane. He went to his Godfather, a Pennsylvania mob boss, who got him back in the film using his particular skills. No horse's head... but life imitating art!

For some odd reason, my friends and I just kept on laughing at it. |

I started watching the Tom Hardy film Capone the other day. I turned it off 40 / 45mins in. It really was just rubbish, depressing rubbish too.

Two Resident Evil films coming this year. - Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, a Capcom CGI film of the game canon which follows Leon and Claire in the White House. By the looks of the trailer, it looks like this is what happens when Olympus Has Fallen includes zombies in it. This will be released on Netflix on July 2021. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness | Character Trailer | Netflix
- Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, the reboot of the live-action franchise, has entered post-production. As mentioned before, this rebooted series will stay closer to the lore of the game compared to the fanfiction of Paul W.S. Anderson. Will be released around September 2021.

Just watched the Brazilian film called Tropa de Elite (English: Elite Squad) with a friend yesterday. Great acting and character development.
