This. Not to mention Calm with Horses, The Killing of a Sacred Deer etc. He’s one of the best, most daring and most distinctive young actors currently working in cinema. She was unforgettable as the grandma from hell in The Ref, funniest Christmas movie of all time, which I watched for the umpteenth time a couple of weeks ago. Along with David Tomlinson, she was the standout of the Mary Poppins cast... their scenes together are magic. What a great voice she had... R.I.P. Toughest of all... 91 year old Tatsuya Nakadai. What a filmography. But yeah... Caine in Get Carter is great. Many happy returns Robert Duvall. Best-selling novel, yes, but the script came first - the book was hastily scribbled based on the screenplay before the movie went into production. And it's a silly line wherever it first cropped up! Hmm. I dunno, I can accept Macy without his moustache - in fact it looks kind of out of place when he does have one. The H, yes. There was, of course a well-known actor called Bill Macy and I assume he used the H to distinguish himself from the other guy. Selleck, yes - without it he looks naked. I'd add Sam Elliott - most definitely an actor defined by his facial hair. A while ago I watched The Contender and it was really jarring seeing Sam without his 'tasche. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Two of the greatest actresses of their generation. Redgrave has always been a favourite of mine, but Jackson outclassed her here. While Vanessa was quite good, Glenda overcame a sometimes shoddy script and was the saving grace of this lumbering if occasionally impressive film. Jayston is by no means a bad actor and N&A is a sometimes impressive, though endless, film. But Jayston’s overacting was quite distracting at times. He did some bizarre things with his eyes in this movie. I do, kind of, get the OP’s Basil connection. Napoleon was descended from nobility and, I believe, grew up in his family’s ancestral mansion. The tagline is idiotic. at university. One of the great contemporary British filmmakers, a visual poet, and still working so recently that this has come as a true shock. I’m happy that his last film, ‘Benediction’, was such a remarkable achievement, up there with his very best, but this is a truly saddening loss. A fine comic actress - she's a treat in Mary Poppins, and hilarious as the grandmother from hell in The Ref. Happy 100th! Sideways 12 Years a Slave Donnie Brasco 1. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) 2. Witness for the Prosecution (1957) 3. To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) 4. The Fountainhead 5. Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) 6. The Paradine Case (1948) 7. The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) 8. Adam’s Rib (1949) Margaret The Talented Mr Ripley Behind the Candelabra Scotland. Or, southern France Jerry Maguire Eyes Wide Shut Magnolia 3/10. Even as a kid I found it pretty lame compared to the first two movies. Of course, much worse was to come. Yes. Not as bad as the negative reviews would suggest, well-acted and with occasional strong scenes… but an overall forgettable and rather dour experience. 5/10. I love Linney as an actress but didn’t particularly care for Charlotte. I’m rather pleased she isn’t in the revival. I’m assuming we’ll learn what happened there/how far their relationship went.
