Just watched Dunkirk over NY and was disappointed. Loved the Spitfires and dog fights, but it was a generally unrealistic and disappointing film. Totally lacked the scale of the original event.

Starmandb was there and he says the film is quite realistic

I liked it but it should have been so much more than it was

Maybe it's my fault cos I went in with high expectations

Shawshank hands down.

Green Mile is a great film though.

Shawshank is a better film but Green Mile might be my favorite book by Stephen the King.

One of my favourites. Worth watching the Black Mass. Johnny Depp plays the lead who inspired Jack's character in The Departed.

Both good films.

The Departed has so many good lines. Mark Wahlberg was awesome in that film.

“Who the f**k are you...?”

“I’m the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.”

The more I read about Uncut Gems the more I want to go and see it.

Watched Escape from Alcatraz last night....we went to Alcatraz a few years ago, so it was a good to see how it all looked when occupied. Still a lot of unanswered questions about that escape. Great film!
