    The current president may be mad as a brush but he’s not evil and definitely not a war monger

    Trump is not the problem. Mike Pompeo and John Bolton ARE the problem. Mike Pence? Iffy too. As long as Trump stays president, these types are contained. But if these took over, the mad as a brush will be replaced with warmongering neo-Nazi racist misogynist sectarian evil. Bolton and his crowd have not left the Cold War yet! Getting back on topic: Bolton and co are probably the only Chuck Norris fans left!

    I was forced to watch this in secondary school religion classes ~20 years ago

    We were meant to be learning about Islam and I do not think this offered a fair or balanced depiction. Thankfully I don't think teachers would get away with this nowadays.

    Never heard of this Not Without My Daughter. Something about the crusades and some great Christian saint standing up to some 'Islamic tyrant' I suppose?

    All I can remember are the St Bernadette Lourdes films shown constantly in schools back in the 1990s. I do not think it was called Not Without My Daughter and there was no mention of Islam in it.

    Ha; my primary school teacher showed us "Life of Brian" in 6th class, in 1993!!

    Think that my teacher was not as much a church pawn as many had to be

    It will always be a classic in my eyes. Even with the lack of misogyny, always a let down for me... I blame OJ.

    Cheers dude!
    I watched this movie with my mam and dad when I was something like 5 (if that...)
    Always remembered a scene at the start of a man running away with some sort of virus.

    Searched for it years ago but without a name I had no success. Cheers for that!

    Too add to the list I loved the original point break when I was a kid. Watched it a couple of years ago and it's boring in parts.

    Patrick swayze is great as is Keanu reeves and Gary busey. Just ... It's dips quite a lot.

    Angela's Ashes.

    Now continuous misery porn. Returned emigrants in the depths of despair. Narrator then gets telegram job. Then goes back to America again.

    In the last year I saw a couple of films that I don't think aged well, and both for the same reason: aliens. The Abyss is one, the other was Cocoon. It felt like they were too late to the E.T. party.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    +1 on American hustle. Could not believe how bad it was considering the reviews.

    Ad astra is a recent one that got lots of critical love and it’s pretty bad
