Skyfall.
Still my favourite Bond film of all time (controversy!). Fantastic opening scene, excellent villain, great use of legendary London spots and then the majestic Scottish Highlands for the final stanza. Not too silly on the gadgets, and the Aston.
And lets not forget Mallory's trousers.
4.5 shaken out of 5 stirred.
My fave too

Completed my David Fincher double feature last night, Se7en the night before followed by Fight Club lastnight.
Happy to discuss Se7en but rules being rules, I can’t talk about Fight Club.. -

Mad Max is on Sky Ch 32 tonight so my evening viewing is sorted.
Quality viewing for the apocalypse.

So after watching Mad Max for the first time in over 20 years it is definitely a movie of its time and very dated now. I know it has achieved cult status but I seem to remember I liked the sequel more. Sky is showing that and Beyond Thunderdome over the next 2 weeks so I look forward to those.

Yeah, Mad Max 2 is the best one, IMO.

It doesn't suffer anywhere nearly as bad from the amateur editing and stunt cinematography.

To the discussion at hand Mad Max 2 is easily the best, no budget in 1 and you can tell, slight budget in 2, and then too much budget in 3. As I've noted before, despite knowing a bunch of people who worked on the recent one I just don't really like it.
I just watched a movie called Fast Colour which is kind of set in a time between Corona and Mad Max, there's still some semblance of society, but everythings run down and you have to buy water in various plastic containers for inflated prices. Anyway, it's about a woman (the nice to look at Gugu MBatha Raw) with mysterious powers on the run from govt types. It's almost like an indie-scifi. Pretty good.
I also watched Charlies Angels because I saw the poster and the two girls that aren't from Twilight on it and they looked attractive. So I watched it and it was an ok switch of your brain watch. Elizabeth Banks and Picard are also in it.

Elizabeth Banks
That's worth a star before the opening credits roll.
