1. Check to see if your favourite film of last week has been posted already.
2. Please post your favourite film of last week.
3. NO TV SHOWS!

5. Comments that only contain the title of the film will be removed!
Here are some great comments from last week's thread:

Your Name - I've been waiting to watch this one for a while and besides a trailer I managed to keep myself relatively spoiler free on the movie. My flatmate bought it on Blu-Ray so it seemed like the perfect time to watch it. And I was blown away. The story went in directions I never expected it to and I haven't been so engrossed and worried for the future of the main characters since La La Land. My heart was pounding even after watching it, it was so intense. That's a credit to the filmmakers and the cast (dubbed) who were able to make me care for these characters. Their chemistry is really good and whilst I would have liked more of the Freaky Friday stuff from the first act since I loved these little character moments, overall I got enough stuff to care about them and their motivations. The art was nothing short of spectacular and made me wish that western culture was as into the hand drawn style as the Japanese. After so much CGI, even Pixar's state of the art stuff, it was a refreshing change. The colours and animation was just top notch. There were several times I was even creeped out at how smooth and realistic a few things looked even though I knew it was hand drawn. It blurred the line really well and I appreciated how it didn't seem choppy e.g. The Killing Joke. It's a movie that left me thinking about it after I saw it and that's exactly what I want from a film. Popcorn fun is all well and good but a movie like Your Name is something that will keep me coming back to it for repeat viewings. There's stuff I know I didn't pick up on the first time and I look forward to seeing it again.

A Hindi film called Talwar. It’s a movie based off of the investigation of the murder of 14 year old Arushi Talwar in 2008. I finally decided to watch it since the murder happened and like 5 minutes from my apartment so I figured...yeah this feels like a movie I should look into . Plus it has Irfan Khan ( Indian guy from Jurassic World) who’s almost always a plus. The case became a national obsession after the police bungled it to a comical degree in the first 24 hours. How bad ? Their primary suspect turned out to actually be a second victim and hey somehow missed his body hidden on the roof ! From there it became a series of lurid theories, where it was claimed that Arushi was sleeping with the second victim, their 27 year old servant to get back at her parents for being swingers . By the cops! The movie follows the investigation from the earlier madness, through the case being handed over to the C.B.I ( our version of the F.B.I) who developed a totally different theory, to the conclusion where the Talwar were arrested for the murder based off of the case the local P.D built because while neither were super solid there’s seemed slightly more likely. The movie itself takes no side on which theory was correct. The movie is shot in a very understated way that lends a great deal of gravity to,the proceedings and expertly conveys the sense of confusion and tension among the investigators as they’re constantly mocked by the public. Highly recommend it if you can get a subtitled version.

Just watched The Disaster Artist at a film festival, I wanted to make a post about it but I think the front page is already crowded with articles about the film as it is. What can I say about this movie other than the fact that I was smiling like an idiot in every scene: even when it is not flat-out hilarious (though it often is), it's just so well made and captivating, even if you already know about The Room (and if you've never even heard of it, the movie does a great job at explaining it to you). I have to admit it was even a bit touching at the end, and the fact that a movie made me feel inspired by Tommy Wiseau is truly an accomplishment. What else can I say about James Franco's performance that hasn't already been written? He's fantastic, truly one of the most accurate performance based on a real person (even if this real person is weirder than most): it would've been easy to just shout "Oh hai Mark" over and over again and call it a day, but he keeps it grounded and real, and turns Wiseau into this kind of tragic and flawed hero that still manages to be ridiculous when he needs to be. My only complaint was that Seth Rogen wasn't given much to do other than repeat constantly how ridiculous the movie is, but the audience I was in was completely captivated by the film and laughed the whole way through: they even clapped three times during the credits (for those who haven't seen it: stay till the end) and was overall very engaged, even if I'm sure most of them hadn't even heard of The Room prior to this movie. Truly a joy to watch, and it will be interesting to see if Franco gets some recognition when the awards season starts.

Have fun and play nice!
