Spectre
My least favourite of the Craig Bond movies. Suspect I'm not alone there, either.
It was just a bit sterile overall, with some really good stuff in there. Craig really dialled in this performance, and Waltz didn't give much else besides the bad guy he gave us in Basterds IMHO.
The quim was good. Lea Seydoux smoked it in various satiny silk things, although the lack of Isabella full-length in corsetry loses it half a mark.

Some other 1980s movies not mentioned:
- Stand By Me
- Romancing The Stone
- Ladyhawke
Ah Ladyhawke... I had forgotten about that one.
A young and very hot Michelle Pfeiffer and for the first time in my (then) young life I fell in love with a blonde. After watching that I had to go back and watch Grease 2 where she was the female lead and I hated the Grease movies.And yes, Grease 2 is aweful but damn Michelle was hot in that movie and hotter still in Ladyhawk.

Finally got to watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople, obviously went in with high expectations, and was not disappointed.
While an awful lot of kiwi humour, I think most of it translates well.
Loved the nod to Crumpy in it too.
Julian Dennison seems a pretty funny kid too, capturing the hearts of plenty

Not even sure if I bothered with the other films when I was much less critical of sequels...

You take that back. Every kid worth his salt practiced the "crane" while cranking out some Joe back in the 80s.
The film had it all, cool karate, Pat Morita, those nasty cobra kai boys, winning hurt, and Elizabeth Shue was hawt

So I went to the Event Cinema on George Street (Sydney) last night to watch this little film called The Godfather. And, it was awesome. Best film ever made. 10 taken cannolis out of 10 left guns.
I've actually been waiting years for a big screen version of the Godfather. I missed it by a week in the UK in 1998 when it was re-released. Event Cinemas do a cult film screening once a month and luckily for me decided one of the biggest films of all time was a 'cult' film.
The one bum note about it (aside from the fact the theatre was full and I couldn't put my feet up on the chair in front like I normally do) was that rather than starting the film they had two idiot hype men from some radio station gibber jabber for 20 minutes before the film started - not only were they shit but they also got their facts wrong. If I go to another one I'll wait half an hour before going in.
Anyway, still the greatest film ever made. Brando, Pacino and Duvall are all brilliant.
