We always have to have a Bubba Gump's when in America. The t shirts are always good as well.

One of those films that you pass down to your kids.

'and Tex......I don't recall where he was from'


I heard a description of the film the other day

"Torrid tale of how a drug addict takes advantage of a man with learning difficulties for over 30 years" :)
 
Watched a few on the plane over and back.

The Iron Claw - absolutely superb but heartbreaking.
MI: Dead Reckoning - just good old fashioned daft fun.
Godzilla Minus One - the best Godzilla film I've ever seen (watch it with subtitles for extra poser credit).
 
Not on Netflix out here yet so will have to source it elsewhere. Looks ****ing brilliant

Seems to just be on Sky in the UK, maybe available on other services if you're willing to pay which I personally am not. Pay enough bloody money for streaming services as it is.

If you like the trailer you're pretty much guaranteed to like the film, it's exactly as presented. Never gets boring, great sense of humour.
 
Watched Jaws the other night, first time I've watched it since I was a kid. Robert Shaw as the grizzled New England sailor is fantastic.

The story he told while they sat around drinking is still fantastic to this day. The 3 of them were half cut and the other 2 didn't know what he was going to say (didn't know the scrip), you can see they're genuinely gripped.
