Good film franchises

[Gandalf]

Yeah those Bourne movies fit perfectly together.

The modern Rambo was hilarious. Remember back in the day Rambo was highly criticised for the level of violence. They were clearly taking the piss with the new one.

I watched ALL the Superman films on Sky over a couple of days when I was ill the other month. Superman 2 is still awesome.

Fantastic call on Superman. I have those and for sure 2 is great fun. Zod is one of my personal heroes. Hilarious character. Superman 3 is also decent enough, but a bit wacky with the whole supercomputer thing. 4 is a clear level below, but it had no budget and got hacked to pieces in editing. It has a couple of moments, but was not given what it deserved.

Also check out the Donner Cut version of 2. I think I watched that after MarkTKO mentioned it. It's a quite a bit different and shows you Donner's vision of how it was going to be before he was fired. It's well worth a viewing.

Some cracking films going around here. My vacation begins today, so I may well spend the first week getting hold of all these films and watching them. I know most, but haven't seen some in years.

Nobody mentioning Star wars?

I think that reflects how badly the new ones blowed.

[Fenster]

I'm sure they showed that Donner cut on TV recently. But I didn't realise at the time I just thought something was different.

Terminator = awesome.

When I was a kid I watched the Star War films a few million times. Empire Strikes Back different class. Don't like the prequels

[Gandalf]

Yes, new Star Wars sucks. Empire Strikes back was great though. I love the darkness of it all.

I really like Hannibal. I actually prefer it to The silence of lambs. It has a kind of dreamy renaissance feel to it all and I think the third one is great too. Murder as artistry and you can sense the divinity in the chamber music whilst waltzing around Italy disemboweling stalking detectives. I didn't bother with that prequel one though.

Can we all agree that Saw was one of the very worst inflictions upon humanity.

It spawned an entire genration of wholly untalented directors who cater to the illiterate, imbecilic morons who think torture porn is cool and hard.

Fucking hate those films. Not big, not clever, just infantile and dirty.

I'd rather have directed animal porn than torture porn. At least animals are difficult to work with and it takes skill to get the best out of them.

The more ya read on the more ya realise one's forgotten.

Lethal Weapon was quality, loved all of them really.

Star Wars, as mentioned, was obsessed with it as a kid, had the toy's and figures an all

[Gandalf]

I have never seen Saw.

Psycho has to be one of the best films ever made and I really like the sequel too. The final one also has its moments, but the 3rd one is just 80's slasher trash. Really horrible.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. For me, the Bourne franchise is great. The last movie was the worst of the bunch.... but all the others were fantastic.
