I've been wanting to watch some of the classic movies for a while now. I think on Friday night I'm finally gonna do it. I've been told the godfather and the Shawshank redemption are the 2 "must watches" so since there's godfather posters in every pizza shop in the country, it seems only fitting I order a pizza
Eventually I want to watch vertigo and some of the other hitchcoxk movies since they're always spoken of super highly too
Have you seen the modern classic: Bee Movie? It brings together a remarkable ensemble cast (even though it's animated). Its effectively an allegory; a representation of the human rat race (if you will) depicted as a bee colony. It follows the life of the protagonist Barry B Benson as he (long story short) saves the world. It leaves us with a heartwarming answer to the question: Can you ever bee enough? The answer is yes.
That was hilarious. Thank you lol
I give this review a B+
No, but I've read the first paragraph of the script about 3 dozen times
I watched Casablanca a few weeks back and had a lovely time. There’s a specific scene that’s so much better if you know it’s real
I haven't seen it but it is the basis for one of my all-time favourite SNL skits: https://youtu.be/LQKVIJnfiNM
On my yet to watch list but Spike Milligan has an hilarious account of it being screened for the troops when he was in North Africa. 😂 MST3K before MST3K.
Yaasss! Watched it on the plane back.
