the irishman
wolf of wall street

The Wolf of Wall Street is fantastic! The ludes bit is probably one of the most hilarious bits of film ever

Troll Hunter....decidedly wacky but enjoyable nonetheless.

Hitman’s Bodyguard.......genuinely funny.

Zulu......never get tired of watching it.

A Bridge Too Far.......as above.

Master & Commander......Patrick O’Brian brought to life.

A River Runs Through It.......just for that scene where he catches the trout.

The Duellists......a feud that runs for decades.

 

[Goingback]

The Little Princess

Black Narcissus
1947
I won't spoil it for you but "Sister Ruth's madness" as evidenced fully towards the close is without question one of the most powerful scenes in cinematography. Its also proof-postive you do not need to display acres of flesh to convey desire and sexuality. Never has the application of a single stroke of lipstick conveyed more!

Did you ever call in at Gastinne Rennette on Avenue Franklin D Roosevelt before they closed down in about 1999 or 2000?

That was a place. I needed an ejector spring for my Manufrance Robust 28E made at Saint Etienne in the 1920s. So I called in in late 1999 and asked if they might have one. The answer..."Oui, Monsier, bien sur. Calibre 16 ou 12?" Which is "Yes, Sir, most certainly. 16 bore or 12 bore?" And true enough when I had told them that it was for a 16 down one of them went into the basement and came back under five minutes with the required part.

Or the other famous maker down near the Palais Royal? Faure Le Page.

The last time in the 2010s I went they'd become a shop selling shirts.

I bought a Thompson Contender in .22lr from a small armourie somewhere in Paris which was then possible without any paperwork in 1989 France which was my last working stint there. I had one .22 space open on my UK ticket so I took it back through a Kent harbour declared it to the customs, they said OK off you go and took no notes of the serial number or my name/address. I could have/should have done it every weekend after that but at £300 a throw it seemed too pricey a risk. Just sent a letter off to kent FEO job done, went then to Roswell New Mexico in 1992 took it with me as I was getting interested in siluetas mexicanas did a weekend in Ft Stockton Texas at a big shoot then I bought a .35 Rem barrel for it to start up that sport and got offered a chance to shoot a pronghorn (my first hunt ever) outside Roswell town on a workmates family ranch and the rest is history for me. UK government took it as a .22 pistol off me in 1997 "Bliar" but let me keep the .35 barrel?

Good holiday films? I watch any of the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Western films...Outlaw Josey Wales, Good the Bad and the Ugly, Unforgiven and any of the Jason Bourne films over and over...the Bourne ones in particular you see more and more clever hints each time of looking. Redford and Newman pairings in The Sting and Butch Cassidy.

Cold Mountain, Cabaret

How long have you got?

Forgot Downfall. Astounding performance from Bruno Ganz. The film equivalent of an un-put-downable book. You know how it ends but you can't stop yourself watching. You have to see it out. Tells you more about Hitler in a couple of hours than millions of written words have ever done.

 

[User00035]

Touching the void.

 

[Cootmeurer]

Not hunting related, but these I can watch repeatedly

Forsaken (a new, old western)
Rush (James Hunt Nikki Laura racing movie)

and, if you can find it (shows on the Paramount channel here in the US) Yellowstone. This is a soap opera for me, and it’s is damn good. Riveting acting (Kevin Costner is the lead) and great story lines, set in Montana

 

[John Gryphon]

The Godfather,when it came out after I had read the book at around 18 years of age I thought was impeccable and brilliant film making at its best.

Bring out the gimp lol......P/Fiction truly a great film.

Just about anything with Clint in it except those ridiculous orang movies.

Apocalypse Now...brilliant!

The Dog of Flanders

 

[Coddy]

Murder in the First
In the name of the father.
The Unforgiven.
Road.
Le Mans (the original).
