    Just what people were screaming out for. A Willy Wonka origin film. Ffs

    I see Hugh Grant is playing an oompa. Are we not allowed to cast dwarfs in the role any more?

    racist!

    I wish I hadn't seen Crash.

    The Cronenberg one?

    No, the one that won the Best Picture Oscar in the 2000s.

    2000 - 2023: I've seen every one aside from The Artist and Chicago. I'll watch The Artist some day but likely will never watch Chicago as I don't like musical films (I like musicals in the theatre though).

    1990-1999: Seen them all.

    1980-1989: Seen them all except Out of Africa.

    1970-1979: Seen them all.

    1960s: Seen 7 of them.

    1950s: Seen 4 of them.

    1940s: Seen 1 Casablanca.

    I'm concerned so many of you have seen Annie Hall. πŸ˜‰ That's the only 1970s movie I have never seen, and never will.

    Give it a go
    It’s genuinely laugh out loud at times

    @Bovidae
    Diane Keaton was in those days a very hot prospect

    Woody Allen at his least wanky. Wordy but worked. The awkwardness resonated before it became cliched

    Plus lots of wimmin at uni identified with it - so …..

    @MiketheSnow
    If you look at 1969-1978 you replace Kramer v Kramer with Midnight Cowboy

    That's quite the ten-year run.

    Fucking 1980 - Ordinary People won ahead of Raging Bull, The Elephant Man, Coal Miner's Daughter and Tess

    Great call

    So I watched The Artist this afternoon to round off the 2010s. Decent enough movie, but, I can't stand the constant music, it was doing my head in. I don't think I would have liked the silent era although maybe I'd be used to the music if it was the only thing I knew?

    i shall play. I suspect I'll be the least watched, which is odd as I love a good movie. Although I tend to find now watching movies is a brilliant way of going to sleep.

    20/30s - 1 (gone with the wind)
    40/50s - 1 (bridge on the river kwai)
    60s - 1 (sound of music)
    70s - 6
    80s - 2
    90s - 9 (not seen the English patient as bud told me is sucked)
    00s - 8
    10s - 2
    20s - 1

    So thats 31 in total. Equal with Kruse!

    I found it really bad.

    except Out of Africa.

    I think I'm a bit of a completist so will likely end up watching it some day. 😲

    It was slow to the point of being glacial. Wasn't awful but I could never watch it again.

    OK Hashtag metoo

    1920s - 0
    1930s - 3
    1940s - 3
    1950s - 6
    1960s - 10
    1970s - 9
    1980s - 5
    1990s - 8
    2000s - 5
    2010s - 1
    2020s - 0

    50 in total. Not too shabby, but 6 over the last 20 odd years is a reflection of just how unappealing things have become.

    For me anyway.

    How about Upgrade (2018), it was a surprisingly fun little movie, even for people who don't really enjoy action movies (I don't - most of the time). Really neat camera work in the action scenes.

    Bit uneven for me, had some good bits though.
