The Titan
Flick about a bunch of scientists trying to create superbeings to repopulate a planet cos earth is dying. Starring the bloke from clash of the titans, the blonde chick from Orange is the New black and the hot black chick who hooks up with the leader of the dickless dudes in GOT.
Genuinely starts brilliantly and is very thought provoking before descending into one of the biggest shitfests I've seen in years. Seriously, it seemed like two different movies spliced together.

The Godfather 1 & 2 are still absolute classics and still stand up now. The original is 46yo.
The 70’s are an absolute fucken golden age of cinema, can extend it into the first year or 2 of the 80’s
Think of movies that changed the cinema landscape for ever, most came in that period -

Think of movies that changed the cinema landscape for ever, most came in that periodI do hear that but a lot of 'classics' either don't age particularly well or weren't that good to start with. Deer Hunter and Deliverance being two obvious examples.

The Deer Hunter would have been a dead set classic if only it was about half the length.

Yup films like Jaws, Star Wars, Godfather 1 and 2, The Exorcist, Empire Strikes Back, Alien, Clockwork Orange, Halloween etc have aged terribly

I said a lot...Not every single one.
I am partial to all of those except the Exorcist.

Since 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq we've had no good films about them (except Zero Dark Thirty, which was very good but was extremely misleading propaganda), and yet there have been two exceptionally good long films/miniseries about cold war terrorism in Europe in that time.
Everyone should watch Carlos and The Best of Youth. Both are fucking great.

Early films that were ground breaking in their use of CGI/ effects date terribly, but should be seen for what they were at the time. The element of Alien that stands the test of time is the suspense. It was masterful.
I don't see how Godfather has dated.

Has anyone watched Citizen Kane recently? It's been on my 'really should watch' list for a very long time. Not sure if B&W would hold my attention enough.
Yeah you should, you should also watch Casablanca if you haven't already. I think after a while you'll forget the B&W anyway.

Unlike some others here and being a bit of a SciFi buff, I actually quite liked Annihilation and I really enjoyed a new SciFi movie called Revolt. The chick in this, Bérénice Marlohe, is very hot, amazing eyes.
A good SciFi/War type of movie 3 outta 5 for this one.I watched this last night. An OK movie, but I can understand the low ratings and criticism.

Watched Game Over, Man on Netflix. Good stupid movie if you want a couple of laughs. Massive negative was plenty of cock and balls and hairy ass but not even a single titty. That's not how this is meant to work....

Operation Odessa on Netflix is worth watching.
