I just realised Babylon that came out just the other month is over 3 hours long.

Seems to have split critics and viewers alike but I personally really enjoyed it. It's very OTT and "loud" in every possible way (subjects, scenes, themes, music, colours, sets, everything) but it was a fantastic romp through the overindulgent insanity of 1920's Hollywood during the switch from silent movies to "talkies".

Damien Chazelle is a fabulous director.

Shoutout to Scorsese's The Irishman too (3.5 hrs) which I thought was fantastic!

I haven't seen that.

For me The Deer Hunter is an incredible movie.
But you have to be in the right frame of mind to watch it.
And I love the soundtrack, it's so beautiful.

I fell asleep during it, so boring

[Vanessa]

I think Avatar, way of the water is another brilliant one.
I never noticed how long it was.

Oh yeah me too, I'd add that to my list

I tried getting into Schindler's List and it wasn't for me to be brutally honest.

I get it's appeal though, but just not my kind of thing.

Liam Neeson is so good in that

That is a truly remarkable movie to be fair

I think it's because the topic matter is too depressing for me.

Don't get me wrong I like dark content, but I think when it's more fictional rather than knowing that it actually happened, because it takes a bit of the entertainment away from an entertainment product for me.

And I am with Vanessa that Liam Neeson did a good acting performance, but then I did like him on Star Wars so I'm not too shocked there.

I thought Avatar was absolutely dire. Not even contemplating the second one.

Yeah, I don't see the fascination, I've only seen the first one and it's pretty boring. I think James Cameron did far better with the first two Terminator movies and Titanic. And Cameron is massively overrated as a director. I'm not saying he's a bad director but there's much, much better available.

You come across as a cinema movie fan, I am also that and I'm very knowledgeable on the history of cinema. So if anytime you want any recommendations or knowledge, just ask and I'd be happy to engage with you.

I love the movies from every era from the 1930s to the present day (which with all the wokeness is disappointing)

My adventure is to go deeper into the silent era. I already know it all of the talkie times.

Seriously, I'm happy to help on your movie discovery, so don't be shy to ask. I love talking about the movies.

I can give you great recommendations of what to watch from cinema history.

You don't need to be embarrassed about engaging with me in movies. The people on Tibb no nothing about cinema history. We could learn them a lot. And Trust me. I laugh at embarresment Bracause it only exists for losers.

The Godfather for me remains the best one.
It's so good you won't even notice the running time.
