Both of which feature Bill Murray, who seems to have achieved untouchable god like status despite him never having done anything funny since the mildly amusing Stripes.

And another boring film also by Wes Anderson is that pile of white about the Budapest Hotel. All these hipster arseholes thinking it’s cool to be seen to like his shite cos it’s ‘quirky’ when it is in fact pretentious shite.

I've never been called a hipster arsehole before! I love that film and Ralph Fiennes in it. You've gone too far here like imho. :lol:
However I agree with Bill Murray. Unfunny and rather sinister for me

Ralph (and it’s RALF not RAIF you pretentious tosser!) Fiennes with his rictus grimace and nasal monotone is one of the worst ‘actors’ out there. Stealing a living.

Oh. No. I imagine you don't like him in In Bruges either? I can't believe we are disagreeing on something film-wise, it had to happen I suppose. :lol:

Re the Rafe pronunciation, my Dad had a friend whose name was Ralph, pronounced Raah-ph. Interesting fact.

Grand Budapest Hotel is a quality film, I'm not a fan of much of his other stuff, other than Fantastic Mr Fox of course.

Rear Window, from back in the fifties when everybody stood up at the end for the National Anthem.
Gregory Peck, Richard Burr.
The whole film is centred around a guy sitting in a wheelchair watching another apartment window from his own back window.

WTF.

Best hitch for me.

It's a tradition to watch over the holidays in our house.

As a bonus Grace Kelly shimmers in every scene she steals..

:cool:

I know, you've reeled me in and I chomped..

:D

Was nearly released under the title "As Sure As the Moon".

Don't ask me why I know this, for I have no idea.

TGPH is one of my favourite films. It's entrancing. Also any film that includes the line "She was shaking like a shitting dog" gets 10/10 from me.

Thats what my brother said but i didnt enjoy it.

It's funny how everyone enjoys different things. I saw it at the cinema, which I think helps if a film is a bit slower. Some of the films I've dismissed as boring would probably have been decent enough had they been able to keep my undivided attention.
