Community Film club: Are you a film buff?

[Toby]

Hi guys,

You may recall the great 'Saturday night film club' formed by our very own Liquid a few weeks back.

Are you a film buff? Do you like discussion performances, themes and symbolism in your movies? Or you do just enjoy exploding robots? Sound off below and get involved!

This week we have a wide choice, and I have highlighted a few below, but feel free to post your suggestions, the more variety the better and it doesn't not matter on the day, we film buffs will watch a great movie any time. Also, are these films worth watching? Post your reviews

1). Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

Directed by Martin Mcquand

Sat 10th Nov. 14:45-17:20 on ITV1  

 The classic trilogy concludes. It caters to all of your Sci-fi needs; Tiny bears, uncomfortable family interaction and space battles. What  more do you need?

- David Lynch turned down the chance to direct this movie

- The biggest grossing film of 1983

- Kenny Baker, who played R2 D2 also played an Ewok named Paploo.

 2). The Polar Express

Directed by Robert Zemeckis

Sat 10th Nov. 17:55-19:50 on ITV2 

 The acclaimed director of Back to the Future bring us his first effort using performance capture and a great multi-performance from the great Tom Hanks. If you can get past the strange eyes on each character, this is an enchanting little movie that may get you in a slightly festive mood

- The main character's (the boy) name is never mentioned 

- All the train tickets in the film have the number 1225 on them; Christmas day

3). Valkyrie

Directed by Bryan Singer

Sun 11th Nov. 21:00-23:25 on Five 

The untold story of an assassination plot on Adolf Hitler by the men in his command. A wonderful cast from both sides of the pond. Even though the outcome is predictable, it is a very riveting watch.

- Many scenes were re-shot because a large part of the film reel was destroyed by spilled chemicals.

- 3 of the cast members also starred in the German film d\Downfall, chronicalling the last days of Adolf Hilter's life

The Avengers was a triumph, as was The Dark Knight rises. " awesome superhero movies in one year

@Stuart, the Justice league move is out in 2015. They are doing the opposite to Marvel; create a team and then give them separate movies, do you think it will work?

@Carrie, geeks are more than welcome here!

i dont think they are brave enough although a Batman, Flash, Thaal Sinestro, Green Lantern,Superman and Oracle team would be cool....

[Anonymous]

oh god... Lets watch them ruin the Justice league....

[Anonymous]

Yeah I can't wait to see what they will do about casting, will they keep cavills superman or cast someone else, there are strong rumours that they may give Brandon routh another shot, who will portray batman as bale won't put the suit on again &'there are more rumours that Wonder Woman will make an appearance in next years man of steel

[Anonymous]

i dont think there is any actress good enough or built like wonder woman 😕 and as much as i hate Christian Bale, he played a good Batman x

[Toby]

He really did. Armie Hammer is the next rumored batman

In my opinion Nolan's is the best trilogy ever made.

Which of the 3 is your favorite and why?
