Yeah either do that or maybe we could just have a few films get suggested and then put up a poll up each week?

Edit - for future I mean, obviously not for this week

Film Club has been attempted a few times before, would be nice for it to stick this time though.

I'll watch Drive tomorrow or Thursday I think.

Roy Mars III 08-02-2012 04:39 AM

Just rewatched it. Won't talk about it till more have watched it though, don't want to spoil anything. Just as amazing as the first time I saw it a few months ago. Definitely the best movie from last year

King Gizzard 08-02-2012 04:45 AM

I would do a poll

I don't really have a suggestion for a film so going down the list would be rubbish

SharkAttack 08-02-2012 05:06 AM

I'd also like to join. Drive already watched. :thumbs:

Watching Drive in a minute

King Gizzard 09-02-2012 07:34 AM

Will watch this tonight at some point

:suspect:

Shaun 10-02-2012 12:42 AM

Just starting this now.

Roy Mars III 10-02-2012 12:45 AM

It has one of the best soundtracks of any movie ever /random

Shaun 10-02-2012 01:15 AM

omg this soundtrack :lovedup:

Shaun 10-02-2012 03:33 AM

Just finished it.

Spoiler:

I loved it. The long silences between the Driver and pretty much everyone else were a little bit frustrating at times but it was a great story, and I liked the open ending. The soundtrack was excellent too, very 80s (in fact a lot of it, such as the credits styling, reminded me of GTA Vice City).

Sad that Shannon died though. Just because he's the dad from Malcolm in the Middle :laugh:

Oh and the violence was naaaaasty. The bit with him stamping on the elevator-guy's head :yuk:

I'd probably give it a 9/10 though. The cinematography and the tension were just perfect.

Ramsay 10-02-2012 04:02 AM

Sign me up , I'll watch Drive tomorrow

Tom4784 10-02-2012 01:13 PM

I meant to watch this yesterday, I shall watch it later on.

DrunkerThanMoses 10-02-2012 02:40 PM

Soundtrack was so cool I downloaded the album :)

DrunkerThanMoses 10-02-2012 02:49 PM

The film itself was good; especially enjoyed the opening scene, and the acting was great from everyone especially Gosling, Mulligan and Cranston; who I love from Breaking Bad so like shaun mentioned
Spoiler:

was sad when he got killed
Overall I would give it a 4/5

SharkAttack 10-02-2012 03:42 PM

I really enjoyed the overall vibe of this gem. It had a grittiness that was apparent with its violence and yet the film felt surreal, dream-like. Double the vote on Shaun who said it was like Vice City/80s style with the music and credits. Not a film I'd watch twice because once is sometimes enough. 9/10 is what I gave it a few months ago, and still believe it deserves that score.

Samuel. 10-02-2012 05:20 PM

Spoiler:

I didn't like it. I found the first half dull, and the story didn't really do anything for me. The violence was over the top, disgustingly so. The soundtrack was the only thing I enjoyed about it. So I can't really give it anything other than a 1/4.

It just didn't click with me in the slightest.

Josy 11-02-2012 08:22 PM

Spoiler:

3/5

Not as good as I expected it to be, slow to get started and the anti dialogue scenes are irritating and also a bit awkward at times, I got a bit more interested just under half way through and even though the violence is a bit OTT at times I think it does fit in well with the style of the film.

Agree with others that have mentioned the whole 80s/video game style.

Never saw the need for the mask scene though?

Black Dagger 11-02-2012 08:29 PM

Spoiler:

I liked this film a fair bit, I was bored in certain areas of the film, but I really enjoyed the violence /sadistic, it wasn't always necessary or needed in my honest opinion but it added a certain aspect to the film and gave it a much needed lift (no pun intended), Ryan Gosling is adorable as well and was a fantastic lead role. 4/5

Roy Mars III 11-02-2012 08:38 PM

Spoiler:

4.5/5

Best film of last year. The movie is over the top and supposed to be. The movie is perfectly put together and just amazing in general

One of the best movies Gosling has ever done, he did a great job in it. His facial expressions and body movements say more than even words could.

A cult classic in the years to come for sure

First good move Gosling has ever done, he did a great job in it. His facial expressions and body movements say more than even words could.

Hes very good in Lars and the real girls

Roy Mars III 11-02-2012 08:41 PM

Yeah, I changed it because I've only seen him in a few things

GypsyGoth 11-02-2012 09:53 PM

I'm gonna watch it tonight :amazed:

Glenn. 11-02-2012 10:01 PM

Finally watched it.

Spoiler:



Its actually the best film I've seen in a while.

Its a film I wouldn't think I would like but I have to admit, its worth a watch.

I think its a slow burner until the end of the film and the silence between Gosling and Mulligan was a little unnecessary, but that's not their faults its the director. I thought the acting was top form from them.

I agree with everyone else in that it was like an 80s video game. The soundtrack was different and not what you would expect from a film of this nature.

I thought the story was good, the violence was maybe a little OTT but it didn't really affect my view on the story.

I'd give the film a 5/5 for the fact that its the best film I've watched for a long time.
