Jennifer Connelly has never looked better. That's just a bonus to an excellent story. Try to find the Director's Cut which removes the stupid voiceover track that actually spoils the entire plot before the film even starts. Agree great film partly spoiled by the opening voice over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've seen some pretty good Spanish films on Netflix. Ones that spring to mind are Toc Toc, 7 Años and El Bar.

Brilliant. Freddy got fingered - I must be one of the only people who could not stop laughing at this. I loved Freddie got Fingered. Watched it a lot with my mates when it first came out on DVD and we used to quote it all the time. Watched it again a while ago and although it wasn't the same, I still laughed at a lot of it. That then led me to watching loads of Tom Green videos on youtube from his 90's show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Unsure if under rated but I love “ the road to perdition “ with Tom Hanks Paul Newman and a creepy eerie performance from Jude Law . It’s incredible film . Two films definitely underrated are “ The Exorcist 3 “ which is essentially a follow up to “ The Exorcist “ ( forget the laughable Ecorcist 2 ) George c Scott is in it and it really is so scary and has one of the scariest scenes ever in a horror . Heart stopping really . “ Psycho 2 “ was a great sequel to “ Psycho “ . It was a great homage to my favourite director Hitchcock and had so many twists snd turns in it with a creepy yet sympathetic performance from Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates . It’s brilliant and some incredible set pieces in honour of the great Hitch really . Edited January 5, 2021 by JamesM48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
