| Sidney Lumet's version was infinitely better. Very disappointing. 2/5

| I went with a friend. When it was over he said "It's dead. Why couldn't they let it rest in peace?" I agree with him. 2/5, and I'm being generous.

| One I'll be avoiding. (From the sad face, I'd guess you weren't bowled over by it.)

Not heard of Tea With The Dames It's what the title says; Dames Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright and Maggie Smith sit down to tea together and talk about their life and careers. I found it hugely entertaining. Haven't seen either Midway or Joker. Law Of Desire | |

| Another one I've not seen
(I really need to try and watch more films. I used to watch several hundred a year, the past few years and seen around 80 or so, about half of which are cinema visits, so the wealth of breadth of films I see is quite narrow compared to days done past. Up until a few years back we had a service that rented Dvds by post. If it existed on DVD it could be watched so you had basically a limitless supply and variety of films you could see. The service I used is gone now, and the one that remains costs more for fewer films per month so I never signed up to that one. I generally dislike streaming films and there are too many of theme now to try and keep up with, but combined they still don't offer the variety that existed when I could rent them)

| (Like you, the number of films I see now has tapered off considerably from what it used to be. Unfortunately, for health reasons I'm not able to drive now, so my cinema visits are dependent upon whether I can get a lift with a friend. Otherwise, I've got a collection of over 1,000 films which I'm working my way back through, plus there is some good stuff on Netflix and quite a number of classics available on YouTube many of which are free, although some are pay per view.)
Haven't seen Gremlins for yonks. As I recall, it was quite fun.

| I gave up on Star Wars after The Phantom Menace.
Downton Abbey
PS: Have a very happy Christmas, and all the best for the New Year.
PPS: Don't be put off by the trailer. Knives Out is the best fun I've had at the movies for a while. | |

| The trailer just puts me off. It looks like a film I'd hate. Plus I've cancelled my netflix subscription.
Not seen anything new since Star Wars but I am going to try and work through my collection of unseen DVDs this year and I'll probably start with

| I've tried three times to watch it and have never got past the first 45 minutes. Excruciatingly boring.

Despite all the raves from the "me too" brigade in America, I much prefer the 1994 version by Gillian Armstrong. As for Parasite, I haven't made up my mind whether I want to see it. Judging from the trailer, it doesn't look like one I'd enjoy. The Birdcage | |
