Radio 2 in the Park 2024

Time to start a super thread. Here's the basic idea. There are millions of movies in the world, and so many that people will class as 'must see movies'. In this thread we will be discussing movies we personally love and think others should watch. We can discuss new movies in the cinema and forthcoming movies yet to hit the cinema

Has anyone seen the TMNT film yet? The trailers look amazing for this film, and its great to see something that I loved as a kid coming back to the big screen

[Grace]

The Notebook is the must-see from me. Sad but touching.

[Jamie]

I wanna go see TMNT but i dunno if i can drag anyone with me. Loved the cartoon as a kid!!

[John]

The Notebook is the must-see from me. Sad but touching.

Who's in it Grace? I quite like my tear jerkers. Has anyone seen Finding Neverland? It stars Johnny Depp playing author JM Barrie and we see how he gained the inspiration for the Peter Pan story. It really is a tear jerker

[Riz]

Hmm TMNT. My dad was buying *cough*pirate*cough* DVD's the other day, and was speaking to his mate. He said he had TMNT and was like nah shes 16, not 6. I was like, err excuse me! I want it! So yeah, i have it, but ive not actually got round to watching it. Think i will do tomorrow, looks amazing.

300 is another film ive recently seen. Excellent in respect of battle scenes and graphics, but a pretty bare storyline.

What about Sunshine aswell? From the makers of Trainspotting, so i'll DEFINETELY be going to see that!

[Grace]

Jim from Eight Simple Rules is the only one I can remember..

Right, according to t'internet, it's Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams playing the young ones and James Garner and Gena Rowlands as the old ones.

[John]

Sunshine looks alright on the trailers, and I reckon people will rave on about it. But people also raved on about 28 Days Later, and I didn't really like that film

[Riz]

Oh i loved 28 Days Later! Maybe it'll be my type of film. Did you not like Trainspotting either? Or have you seen it even?

[John]

I've seen Trainspotting a good few times. It is a brilliant film with a glowing soundtrack and pretty much gave Ewan McGreggor a step up into the big screen. Prior to this, his best film was Shallow Grave. Nice little geeky link here. Kelly MacDonald who plays Diane in Trainspotting plays Peter Pan on stage in Finding Neverland.

S'one of my favourite films. Lent it to Mum but forgot to mention it was sad... ooops

I love Patch Adams too

[John]

Patch Adams is a good film. I'm so suprised I havent got that on DVD.

[goldengirl]

My must see film is Now & Then

However I went to see Premonition tonight and have to say that is the worst film I have seen in a long time! Don't waste your time or money going to see it folks!!!

[Riz]

I thought Premonition looked good. But i was listening to james Kings review of it, and he said its alright till about the last half hour, then it just turns into utter sh*te. So i took his advice and didnt go see it.

[goldengirl]

I was just completely confused the whole way thru! It kinda ties up by the end but the ending is rubbish too so I don't think that helped me any!

I quite fancy Julian McMahon but even that didn't help!!!

[Kelly]

I was gonna say, Julian McMahon made a bad film? Even with that shower scene I saw in the adverts? :shock:

One film I really have to see is Hot Fuzz, it looks brilliant and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's stuff is always amazing.

Also, Patch Adams? That film even made my biker hard-man uncle cry! Another tear-jerker that everyone has to see is Jack and Sarah, with Richard E. Grant. It's amazing, even if it's a little old now.

[Riz]

I didnt think Hot Fuzz was anything special. It was good an all, pperhaps i was expecting too much with all the hype. Despite being half an hour too long, i thought Shaun of the Dead was funnier :/

[Riz]

Danny Boyle is on T4 just now talking about Sunshine and 28 weeks later, follow up to 28 Days Later for those who didnt spot the relation there

I was a bit annoyed when i heard there was going to be a 28 Weeks Later, i thought theyd just ruin it. However, having just seen a sneak preveiw, it actually looks amazing! Out on the 11th May i think.

[John]

You know, if Danny Boyle had had his wits about him he would release it exactly 28 weeks after the original, but maybe that would be too soon after the original. Or maybe not, just over 2 years...

[Riz]

He said it took him 3 years to make Sunshine, i doubt he had the time

[DC]

i'm sick of these clubs starting up

[Bumble_85]

If you like a lot o' chocolate on your biscuit...

[Eyl9]

I watched There's something about mary last night for the first time in ages.

I forgot how funny it is hahah x]

I'm a massive fan of David Lynch. Twin Peaks was a legendary television series. My favourite movie of his is Mulholland Drive. It's weird and confused but full of typical Lynchian signs and portents.

I also laud Terence Malick's work. The Thin Red Line is the best World War Two movie as far as I'm concerned, as instead of glorifying America it goes deep into the consciousness of that conflict. If you don't like those arty films then you won't like it.

[John]

David Lynch is a very good director. He does make some incredibly confusing and dark films. But he knows his stuff. I love Lost Highway with Bill Pullman. That is an odd movie, but its soundtrack is so very fitting

I think that this is the worst film I've ever seen! It's like 5 hours long- I fell asleep in the cinema about 45 mins in- my friend woke me up for the 10 seconds that John Travolta is in it!
