An enjoyable romp, and worth seeing in the cinema. But not as entertaining as the original.

Many thanks Ricardo! Great report. 👍

I just got home from watching Gladiator 2!

That joke won't age well

Apocalypto is a fantastic movie. Gladiator - a boxing movie from the 1980s with Robert Loggia is a great watch (not the Russell Crowe Roman epic, although that's also very enjoyable) Top Secret with Val Kilmer is a great laugh if you like the Airplane & Naked Gun style of humour ( which I certainly do!) Someone above already mentioned The Taking of Pelham 123 with Robert Shaw & Walter Matthau - a superb movie Sing Street from over here in Ireland is a very enjoyable romp with plenty of music - and if you're lucky enough to have never seen The Commitments yet, I highly recommend. And Intermission is another great watch from these shores. The Man Who Would Be King with Michael Caine & Sean Connery is great fun, if a touch too long, but well worth it. Gallipoli with a young Mel Gibson is very memorable and of course the original Mad Max. L.A. Confidential is a well-crafted piece of cinema, but you need to use your brain! The Princess Bride is a unique and wonderful movie which does a very decent job of being loyal to the book. Die Lebens des Anderens is a masterful piece of cinema about the Stasi in East Germany and Goodbye Lenin is also well worth a watch about the same period. The Third Man with Orson Welles is brilliant. And there's of course Dr Strangelove. I think I'd better stop now, I've things to do!

I watched a fairly dark Irish movie called 'Calvary' in the cinema a few years back. The ending is a bit of a punch in the gut. When the credits rolled, there was just a stunned silence for at least a minute, possibly two before anyone even moved. A surreal experience, yet to be repeated.

Cheers Ricardo, as always. Pretty grim reading though!

Yep, I had the same thought. What a drubbing that was. Shearer laughing at us. 0-0 in the return fixture if I recall correctly.

Ian Crook was first to come to mind on reading the thread title for a person of my vintage

Many thanks as always Ricardo! 👍🏅

His volley was a thing of beauty

And say that we didn't show enough quality in the final furd

Oman, it's time for Pukki To-go.

Eoin Hand was an Ireland manager in my youth! Not player/manager related but at a family wedding in Zimbabwe, there was a driver who's name for the English-speaking population was the unforgettable 'Wonderful Precious Basket!" Can't help you with the other ones though.

Excellent report Ricardo. Many thanks 👍
