Chili Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) We had an independent video shop near mine as a kid. Not sure how it started but they had Police Academy, 2, 3, 6 & Mission to Moscow in and I used to rent them. The first film was a 15 rating so my dad would have to rent that, a lot. Must have just looked like a big fan. Because they didn't have the fourth of fifth films in, I never saw them till years later. Because Steve Guttenberg wasn't in the later ones but I never saw his character leave, I assumed as a cop he died or something. Despite it being screwball comedy movies. Weird kid. Long rambling cut short, I binged watched them all yesterday afternoon and it was a lovely big hit of nostalgia. Last film is still utterly woeful mind. Are they well loved round these parts or are the children wrong? Code: Police Academy, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, Moscow.

Paid Members FLips Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2023 I watched the first one for the first time a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Not sure on the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Scream 6 As an unashamed Scream fan, I enjoyed it for what it was but the final act/reveal was a bit much even for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we rented this when it was out, she tapped out half way through citing Cage's "stupid bloody accent". I loved it then, as I do now. John Cusack is the weak link in it, if you ask me. Yeah, Cusack didn’t get the memo about it being over the top, and tries to look cool in shades rather than chewing the scenery and eyeballing a lizard.  Back to the theatre Sir Gielgud.

SuperBacon Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Con Air Popped it on this afternoon, and still a 10/10. Felatio Lips MUST be condemned and hounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I saw Con Air in the cinema when it came out.  At the time the cinema chain was doing a national promotion - all tickets were a pound. My mate and I saw Con Air and 5th Element in the same day.  He was adamant 5th Element was the better film, I much preferred Con Air.  With a 25 year hindsight - who was right?

Paid Members gmoney Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2023 5th Element is a bit shite, so I think you're the clear winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 5th Element still leaves me a bit cold. It’s a good film and all but it doesn’t grab my balls like a slow motion Nicky Coppola hair swish. Name me a better run than The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Weezenal Posted June 17, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2023 Can I still watch and enjoy The Sixth Sense even though I know the twist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty certain I have always known the twist (someone told me or I read it) I watched it not long ago and quite enjoyed it. Mad how it can be the same bloke who made the utterly dreadful Old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say just about. You can do a DiCaprio point at the screen every time it's foreshadowed for extra fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
