UKC

What does the great UKC unwashed suggest I watch this fine evening, while sat in front of the fire?

Action & Adventure or even animated would be most welcome. I loved watching the Croods last week.

In reply to The Lemming:

Well, much to my dismay, I really enjoyed Silver Linings Playbook in a feel good way. Though not action, adventure or animated!

In reply to Skyfall:

I'll give it a whirl.

In reply to The Lemming:

The new walter mitty film is pretty good. It has countless flaws but I really enjoyed it.

Silver linings is great too. J Law is great in it too.

Could go for a classic Forrest Gump?

I love The Way Way Back. Again not action though

In reply to The Lemming:

Threads. Its a rom-com, you'll like it

In reply to The Lemming:

I don't know why I mention this one as it's total garbage but I loved Pacific Rim for unidentifiable reasons. Well, big robots, monsters, an annoyingly earwormy soundtrack and an all too predictable sort of happy ending to round off the normal plot "arc". The so-called acting, dialogue and plot were rubbish mind

In reply to The Lemming:

Alpha papa.
Hot fuzz.
Road to Eldorado.
Kikis delivery Service.
Homeward bound.
My cousin Vinny.
Bill and Ted.

You are a bad man.

Rom-Coms are evil and only for boys trying to show their sensitive side in the hope of a shag.

In reply to Skyfall:


I too enjoyed it. Strangely I did not see much rimming.

In reply to The Lemming:
oh er mrs!

Try the latest simon pegg movive, end of earth or something, we really enjoyed it.
I'm not into alan partridge but papa alpha was okay for a couple of hours.
Action and true story (ish) was the surpising 'Snitch', quite good and shows how tough the courts are these days in the3 states

In reply to Skyfall: I really enjoyed Pacfic Rim, but if you loved it, why is it garbage?

In reply to wilkie14c:


Er, wasn't that a Will Smith & Son production? I refused to watch it but do recall the endless self promotion.


Yes it was ok. Got slightly bored after a while. Wasn't really v feel good though....

Gravity was rather excellent, action based and arguably feel good but I assume it's not out yet to buy/rent.

In reply to The Lemming

Life Of Pi.

In reply to 1poundSOCKS:


There are all sorts of things I like which I know have no real merit. Pacific Rimming was one of them. Suitable only for 10 year olds and adults who never grew up

In reply to The Lemming:



On the animation thing:
Spirited Away
Belleville Rendez-Vous

In reply to Skyfall:


Sounds like adults only to me!

In reply to The Lemming:

"As Good as it Gets", with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.

In reply to Skyfall:

Worlds end maybe? simon pegg comedy anyway, not the will smith flick <which wasn't too bad TBH>

In reply to Submit to Gravity:

Ah yes, great film and the superb (and strangely attractive) Helen Hunt.

In reply to The Lemming:
I hate to admit this one as well but I quite enjoyed Battle Los Angeles. Slightly better plot and acting than Pacific Rimming but a bit of an action mess if the truth be told. Still, vaguely enjoyable action with soldiers and aliens etc. Somewhat reminiscent of Independence Day without Will Smith or Goldbloom.

In reply to Submit to Gravity:


Its been a while, but I did enjoy that film.

In reply to The Lemming:



Threads isn't a rom-com, you should watch it, it has a bit of romance, but is a bit short on comedy!

In reply to The Lemming:

If you want a bit of action, Drive is on telly tonight - can't remember what channel but starts 10pm iirc

In reply to The New NickB:


spoil sport

In reply to The Lemming:

Judgement at Nuremberg

In reply to The Lemming:

Glengarry Glen Ross

In reply to Blue Straggler:

Oh yes, or why not the rib-tickling Schindler's List, or The Road?

My feel-good suggestion would be Shakespeare in Love, which, after years of dismissing on the basis of its obviously soppy title, I saw by accident recently and really enjoyed.

In reply to The Lemming:

Once Were Warriors.

In reply to The Lemming:

Love Actually. If only for the "ant or Dec" scrne which still makes me grin.

*I've seen it a few times; sometimes the uh hum yes dear of course routine doesn't work and a sacrifice must be made.

In reply to The Lemming: Go watch James May's programme about a Meccano motorbike. A celebration of all that is good in the human spirit in the 21st century middle-aged British man.

In reply to Skyfall:

I thought Battle: Los Angeles worked pretty well. I never saw Independence Day but yes there is a clear nod to it, but it had a bit of Black Hawk Down feel to it as well. Could have been shortened a bit.
