    Watching that led me to this

    How did these scriptwriters not get an oscar?

    It may be B grade, but there are some great moments in there

    Yeah I have extremely vague memories of sitting round drinking with mates and pissing myself at this.

    Definitely more “Cult” than mainstream. I might have to have a re watch ( and possibly hate it )

    I reckon you love it. As long as you remember it isn't Oscar worthy

    Loads of movies aren’t…..and those that are considered Oscar worthy are often absolute shit as well…..I wouldn’t rewatch Monsters Ball, Three billboards, or Argo if you paid me.

    I wouldn't rush out to watch Monsters Ball or Three Billboards due to content even though I think they're both good films, but I would for Argo. It's a well made and often fun drama. But I wouldn't watch Shakspeare in Love again but can endlessly watch the film that should have won that year - Saving Private Ryan.

    Argo was the Ben Affleck film about smuggling American embassy workers out of Tehran? Enjoyed that one

    The other one in a similar period was the Eric Bana one about Mossad taking out the Munich Olympic killers. Enjoyed that too

    @canefan Munich

    lots of films where you can tell the acting is very good....but they not fun, where as most of the films i can happily watch time and time again would probably be on a bad films list somewhere

    Exactly. Oscars don’t mean shit to me ( says MN5 despite it being extremely possible I’ve completely contradicted myself in another post ). Saving Private Ryan is one of the most re watchable films ever made.

    I've never seen it, or Titanic. No interest in either. 1998/99 were terrible for the best movie awards.

    That's a very good movie. pre 007 Daniel Craig in the cast.

    I'd re-watch the last two no problem. Woody Harrelson and especially Sam Rockwell are really good in it. Frances McDormand is always a good actor. Argo I've watched heaps and it's surprising how the addition of a beard changed Ben Affleck's acting.

    I've seen Titanic. It's actually pretty watchable IMHO. Shakespeare in love I've also seen. OK but I would rush to see it again

    Titanic is brilliantly made. I reckon it’s an amazing film.

    I remember only seeing part of it, they shoot some chick as she was getting changed and she died with everything hanging out, that was pretty cool.

    @bovidae im a bit torn about going and watching.....after rewatching the original, for all its faults it did kind of wraps things up, worried too much of it will be a contrived reason to be back

    it's a return to the world of my favourite ever movie, of course i am fucking going. I am interested to see what the new story is.

    not everything has to have the expectation of being amazing for me to go. I'll go see bands i love who are way past their prime just because i love them. I'll go see movies because no doubt i will be entertained while i am there even if it is not the greatest thing i ever saw.
