Recommend some good movies!

The band have just announced a new film, A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS, which throws the doors wide open on Coldplay's colourful 20 year history. The film will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video from Friday, November 16 in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, with local language versions available globally soon after. Click here to watch the film's trailer.

The documentary release will be preceded by a special one-night showing of the film in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing in more than 2,000 cinemas globally, on Wednesday, November 14. Tickets are on sale from Friday, October 19 from coldplay.film.

A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS offers an in-depth and intimate portrait of the band’s spectacular rise from the backrooms of Camden pubs to selling out stadiums across the planet. 

The film is helmed by Mat Whitecross - director of Supersonic, the acclaimed 2016 Oasis documentary - who met the four friends at college in 1996, before they’d even formed the band. From the very first rehearsal in a cramped student bedroom, Mat has been there to capture the music and the relationships on tape.

In conjunction with the launch of A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS on Amazon Prime Video, the band will premiere three live tracks, available to stream only on Amazon Music, beginning Friday, October 26. The tracks are: Stayin’ Alive (Live at Glastonbury) by Coldplay & Barry Gibb, Us Against The World (Live in Leipzig) and Don't Panic (Live in Paris).

the title is recommend some GOOD movies…that looks like rubbish and I feel worse just reading your post

then my work here is done.

I would say they should’ve named it A Head Full Of Milquetoast but Frank Turner probably has already trademarked it.

First man is quite good. Usually I hate anything Spielberg touches.

Bad Times at the El Royale is modestly entertaining but ends up a crappy Tarantino knock-off.

Take it from Freely, Free Solo is the best movie of the year. If it doesn't win the Oscar for Best Documentary, they should quit giving out the award.

Not for the weak-hearted/stomached but I just saw A Prayer Before Dawn about a British guy that gets thrown into a Thai prison and has to fight his way out. It is among the most intense and visceral movies I've ever seen. The depictions and visuals of male bodies are unreal (and please let's not go for the obvious homophobic jokes) and I am in awe of the director being able to set up some of the shots.

Saw this last night and ditto on everything Relaxer said. I don't think i every want to go to Thailand.

HALLOWEEN is great. Most fun i've head in a theater all year.

I guess he never went to the Lincoln.

Watched some older films this weekend:
What We Do In The Shadows - really funny and quirky. Love their vampire take on things.
The Endless - Apparently there is also a companion film to this. Really strange, but I liked it. Will have to watch this again.
The Loved Ones - Fucking brutal psycho David Lynch shit with some Evil Dead mixed in.

Leave no Trace. 192 fresh reviews, 0 rotten reviews. The critics were right.

Thomasin McKenzie is unbelievable in it. Great young talent.

El Royale was decent. 2nd half falls somewhat flat. Hunter Killer was stupid fun. Recommend it to anyone who enjoys good schlock.

Was curious about her…and stumbled across this new flick she has a minor role in
getting the band back together and adding some big names to the mix

Top Gun: Maverick is an upcoming American military action drama film
It is the sequel to Top Gun (1986), intended to be the second installment in the Top Gun film series, and stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm and Ed Harris among others. It will be released on June 26, 2020

Cast
Tom Cruise as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a flight instructor
Miles Teller as Bradley Bradshaw, a pilot trainee, and the son of Maverick's late partner Nick "Goose" Bradshaw
Val Kilmer as Commander Tom "Iceman" Kazansky

After Tony Scott's suicide, the sequel's future remained in question. However, producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained committed to the project, especially given Cruise's and Kilmer's interest.


so if this does well…is the 3rd installment the Iceman Cometh

seen about half of these, but will have to get #8, 6, 5 and 3 in the queue

I love Wong Kar-wai's Chunking express (#56), but I'll have to watch ITMFL (#9) again as I can't remember it being a memorable movie?
Never even heard of Happy Together 1997 Lai and his boyfriend, Ho, arrive in Argentina from Hong Kong, seeking a better life.
Asian homosexual romance in the 90's…waaay ahead of it's time

Seen all of that top ten. 400 Blows remains possibly my favorite film of all time.

Too many old movies

Off the top kieslowski bleu and an almodovar should be there…I love atame
