Awesome film you have to watch more than once - if only just to get all the clever references to films like Alien, African Queen and The Matrix.
Nick Park is a certified genius.

African Queen
I can safely say I would never get that reference. I think I'd have a lot of company too.

One of the canal boats was called Accrington Queen.
Then again, it may have named in honour of @MN5 's visit to Accrington a few years back.

@Victor-Meldrew still don't understand the first reference but I'm on board with the second one.

I must have missed that one due to not being born for another 26 years

Up there with Train Spotting IMHO. Deserves more exposure. Cracking film.

Yeah, that's definitely one for my top 10. I saw it at the cinemas in June (I think) and it was still showing in some cinemas in Nov so I think it's doing pretty well. I actually introduced some Irish work mates to it.

@Bones Did you ever read Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness? Africa Queen (& Apocalypse Now) are (loose) retellings of the story

Never trust anyone with a first name for a surname.

Read?

Just watched it. Bloody good. Blew my mind seeing after-the-fact that it was based on a true story with some of the real life personalities playing themselves.

- Especially if they’re hiding their Eastern European roots.
- 100% but start with Lord Jim it’s where the real Conrad action is. It’s a Treasure Island for grownups. Probably also read Nostromo before Heart of Darkness. Then you can tell us why Scott named the spaceship in Alien after a social-climbing Italian silver thief.

Have watched a few films recently because of flying. Started Fall Guy but bailed pretty early. Had heard good things about this. Thought it was shit.
I watched this a few days ago. Based on seeing the trailer at another movie I had no intention of watching it, but it was much better than I expected. Obviously you can switch the brain off and just enjoy. Some cameos at the end too.
It has been a pretty average year for stand out movies this year - I genuinely think I'll struggle to put a top 10 for the year together. I've been pretty consistent with watching a movie a week but this year I've gone to way more I've known nothing about going in - which is sometimes a good thing and other times a bad thing.
Really enjoyed all these
