A lot of people feel this. I loved it, loved every scene. The two sequels are very good too.
Their chemistry is amazing.

The sequel is even better, I think. Not so convinced by the third in the trilogy.

Tell No One.
A French thriller, with subtitles.
It won a few awards and has a brilliant twist at the end.
Everything about it is good, great story and acting, as well as the way it was filmed and directed.
Michael Caine said it is one of his favourite films.
7 amazing minutes.
Two Lives (Zwei Leben) - 2012
A German lawyer arrives in Norway to talk to Norwegian victims of the Nazi Lebensborn programme (children born to Norwegian mothers by German fathers during the occupation were taken away from their families and sent to live in homes in Germany) which stokes up the secret past of one woman who escaped the GDR to Denmark in the sixties to find her mother who lives in Bergen, Norway.
One of those films on âMust watch German moviesâŚâ lists that Iâve just ignored for a long while. Decent enough viewing.
Step Brothers
Itâs an absolutely ridiculous film but never fails to make me laugh. The completely dysfunctional man-baby is an overdone comedy trope but imo this film is the very best example of it.

Seen the INFILTRATOR last night. Really good film with a top performance from Bryan Cranston in the lead role.
Based on a true undercover operation with the Colombian drugs cartel in the 80s.
Good paced film with plenty of tense moments that highlights all manor of low life and ruthless business brains involved in this corruption.
Even got a weird pervert called Ospina in it.
Re-watched a couple. Lola Rennt & Wild Strawberries.
AlsoâŚWatched this.
The Night Porter (1974)
A former Nazi concentration camp officer is working as a hotel manager in Vienna in 1957âŚAbout to face a trial to clear his name of any wrong doing during his time with the SS when a young female former inmate of his arrives at the hotel with her musician husband.
The inmate was tortured and was the victim of the officerâs sadomasochist fantasies during her time thereâŚThose fantasies would play out again after their meeting in the hotel.
After reading a little about it I was expecting this to be shocking but apart from one flashback scene (inmate dancing naked while singing a German song and wearing a Nazi officerâs hat to a room full of officers) there wasnât really anything particularly daring to it.
The Shooter.

The film takes place in the working class city of Sheffield in the North of England in the run up to nuclear war and eventually the aftermath as itâs people try whatever they can to survive.
A BBC television movie from the 80s. The story is told from a fictional docu-drama perspective.
Wow. This was quite shocking in itâs execution, Very graphic. It also won 7 BAFTAs. Not gonna lie, It shit me up a bit. 
Nothing about Linklater is boring.

THE ACCOUNTANT.
Complete waste of time as much as money. No substance, story or any acting ability worth a mention.
Wasnt expecting anything special but fuck me, not much to just have a semblance of understanding of the plot when l walked out.

3 part mini-series about 5 German friends in 1941. They are 2 brothers who go to fight on the frontlines during Operation Barbarossa, Their Jewish friend Viktor, Their talented singer friend Greta and a lastly Charlotte, A nurse serving Germany in Russia.
How I slept on this film these last fifteen years I donât know, but I finally watched A Beautiful Mind last night. Mad emotional but brilliant. Russell Crowe is stellar and looked so much younger I didnât even recognise him for most of it.
Fucking watched The Conjuring 2 as well and that shit is fuuuuucked I would never watch shit like that alone.
