Post by Rich Tea Wellin »

One rule - it has to have a rating under 7 on IMDb but you still rate it.

Talking of Roger Moore, I offer you the 6.3 rated North Sea Hijack.

1941. John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, John Candy in a film written by Robert Zemekis and directed by Spielberg. Some really funny scenes and a fully mental performance from Belushi; only ranks as a 5.8?

The original Teen Wolf scores 6.1, but the 2011 remake scores 7.6! WTF?

Rita, Sue and Bob Too - 6.5?!

Brilliant Northern humour; that clearly didn't hit the spot with luvvies in the South.

13 Days. Brilliant film with great performances from the actors playing JFK and Bobby Kennedy as they deal with the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 that took the world to the brink of nuclear war.
21. Another understated movie about the cheating scandal surrounding the American quiz show '21' in 1950s America. Charles Van Doren winning a fortune, but unknown to the viewers had already been given all the answers.

Jason Bourne - 6.6
Was a worthy member of this excellent series of films.

Batman: The Movie - 6.5

Unmissable and captures the true nature of the caped crusader, not this noirish rubbish.

wow batman only 6.5. Agreed dis it was very good and probably a truer reflection of who batman is than of the others that followed.

Keaton is returning as an old man batman in future DC films starting in the Flash movie.
