Lady in the Van is excellent, hope you enjoy it. Maggie Smith is a national treasure 
Did you enjoy Room?
I couldnāt bring myself to see it or even read the book.
It got better once they got out of the Room. Very powerful movie.
Oh I know, I just love her!!
I bought a couple of old AL Pacino films ,
Sea Of Love and Scent of a Woman ā¦both not bad , I was struck by his lack of height ,although he made up for it in his looks ā¦ansome man
Scent of a Woman, one of my favourite films of all time!
The tango scene in that film is so eroticā¦so beautiful and subtle.
Yes thats why i just had to see the film after seeing the Youtube of that sceneā¦
I loved it!! I laughed so much. When she did that side step towards James Corden I lost it!! LOL

How Green was my Valley,
Green For Danger.
Zootia by Disney.
I thought it was excellent with regard to the quality of the animation, character development and storyline. Loved it.
Really enjoyed Zootopia!
The animation was fantastic.
Iām a sucker for animal movies.
Just watched Fly Away Home. Again.
Have recently watched two DVDs - both of which were very moving albeit for different reasons.
-
The Railway Man - based on fact - story of Eric Lomax who was a Japanese prisoner of war and worked on the Burma/Thailand to China railway. Apparently, in later years, he met and made friends with a member of the Kemptetai who was in charge of the camp and who had presided over his torture.
-
Suffragette - again, based on fact - the rise of the womenās suffrage movement - leading to the death of Emily Davison at Epsom race course on Derby day.
Both were very gory in parts but incredibly moving to watch. Plaudits due to all involved.
I donāt go to the cinema preferring to watch films at home since I got an Amazon fire stick. First off I watched Fifty Shades and now canāt wait for the next installment! 
Just watched When worlds Collide a film older than I am which I remember seeing at a local flea pit when I was a lad. I suppose you could call it the progenitor of the modern earth destroyed by meteor movie. This one having not one, but two planets rushing towards earth at blinding speeds. Great fun and quite accomplished for its time. What struck me though is the lack of black faces anywhere (pre-civil rights). As per format, lots were drawn to see who would be selected as one of the forty white escapees to board a hurriedly constructed space-craft (no black engineers or construction workers either) so they could escape to the smaller planet.
After a few earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and towns and cities washed away by tidal waves caused by the near miss of the small planet shooting passed the earth, the rocket took off and into space just in time to see the earth obliterated by the larger planet via a aft-facing camera. Chasing after the new planet expending all of their fuel in the process, the shipās pilot (the hero of the movie) managed to glide the craft safely into a conveniently flat landing space with none of crew or escapees getting a scratch. Opening the doors of the space-ship, not only did the planet have an oxygen rich atmosphere but vast amounts of vegetation and water - this despite having travelled billions of miles through darkest outer space.
As I said, enjoyable hokum which brought back memories of my school days.
āThe Time Travellers Wifeā
Seriously weird - but in a really nice way !
The Help,shown on BBC2 last night.A film about the relationships between white families and their black servants set in Missippippi in the 60s.
Watched Ted, starring Mark Wahlberg
Hilarious but certainly not for those of a prudish disposition.
