What film did you watch last night?

Crossroads (1986)

Young blues guitarist Ralph Macchio seeks out an old former blues legend who sold his soul for talent and fame at the crossroad and they end up on a hobo road trip to Mississippi, meeting Jamie Gertz on the way.

I enjoyed the hell out of it. Top marks to all involved.

Absolutely love this film. Steve Vai's guitar work in the final duel is breathtaking.
 
High Life - 4/10

Good performances but I wish I'd watched something more enjoyable whilst my girlfriend was out and I had free choice! I think this was a run-of-the-mill 'stuck-in-space' story with fancy artistic icing (long cuts, music) on the cake.

1 of those points were for Juliette Binoche enjoying herself greatly in one scene :o
 
Where Eagles Dare.

I have not seen this film in years, 2 and a half hours just flew by, great story, action and acting. 9/10.

Kelly's Heroes.

Same again the time just past so quickly, somehow manages to blend a heist film with a war movie perfectly. great characters with some good set pieces. 9/10.
 
Jerry & Marge Go Large - probably one more for the mrs but i quite enjoyed this, its light and fun, worth the time investment for sure.
Also watched Star Wars Ep1, i've probably not seen this since release, yeah sure it will never meet the fan expectations of the sequels (ep4+) but what will?!, ignoring the hardcore fandom it stands the test of time and pretty good overall, jar jar binks is still annoying though....

Beavis and Butthead do the Universe - for fans 8/10, for everyone else 3/10 - I've been a huge fan since the MTV days nearly 30 years ago and was never expecting this movie to happen! It follows a very similar arc to the original film i.e "a miscommunication leads B&B into unforeseen shenanigans while they remain oblivious to the carnage they cause" and, like the original within 5 minutes I was laughing so hard I was struggling to breathe. The pace does die off around the middle third but overall, as a fan, it was really enjoyable and I'll definitely watch it again.

For those who aren't diehard fans the animation is basic, the story in fanciful at best, the music is OK but the 2 leads characters are just so unlikeably dumb I can see it getting frustrating to watch.

Great to see something from my youth brought back and not be terrible. Some very funny moments.

Not sure what the Mrs made of it though :p

Agree with these views. I’m a massive fan from when it was originally on MTV so I had some genuine laugh out loud moments. Not sure if a new audience would “get it”.
