The car chase through Rome is probably a bit long, but hugely entertaining. Shit blows up, spectacular stunts happen. It's exactly what Mission: Impossible films are meant to be. Someone the point a page or so ago that Tom Cruise obviously enjoys his character interacting with beautiful women. In this film, he has Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell, and some serious sexual tension with Vanessa Kirby. Fair play to Ethan Hunt - Jenny Lind, Peggy Carter, and Princess Margaret is quite the hat trick. Yeah but even he never got into Lea Seydoux, so it's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrival from cybertron is a bona fide classic.

Miguel Sanchez Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Mission: Impossible: Fallout (2018) I don't even care any more. Although I did notice Tom Cruise didn't have a hair out of place or a bead of sweat anywhere on him both while running at least two miles across and through buildings, or when climbing up a rope attached to a helicopter, throwing the helicopter's crew out of it and then getting it back under control, so I think my previous theory about him being an android is the one that's holding up. I'll not be watching any films for a while until my attention span grows back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Anyone have any film series suggestions for Miguel to watch as punishment for whatever he did? I'd suggest The Fast & The Furious, but he likes racing games, so perhaps not. The Witchcraft series is supposed to be dreadful, and I think there's more than a dozen of them. Get to it, you crazy flagellant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Star Trek: The Motion Picture (aka The Slow Motion Picture) would be a suitably punishing place to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I don't mind that one. It's slow but so's 2001, the greatest sci-fi film ever. Been watching the Star Trek films and have got as far as VI and haven't disliked any yet, even though it seems everyone else hates I and V. Will probably get onto the first TNG film at the weekend.

Just over a quid per film. My son fancied watching them all, but we only got through the first two before he cottoned on that they were all the same. He'll never know about the horrors that awaited him. I've never seen Mission to Moscow myself TBH, and I don't know if I can bring myself to put it on. According to Wiki, it made $126k back on a budget of $10m Apparently they've been trying to get an eighth film made with Steve Guttenberg for twenty years, but about half of the original cast are dead now, so it'll be one of those horrible 'next generation' efforts. Yuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Trek VI is superb. The Next Generation films are pretty terrible, which is annoying as that was my version of Trek. Generations and First Contact are just about watchable, Insurrection is dull as ditchwater and Nemesis is beyond awful.
