Henry V (1989)
Goosebumps = St Crispen's Day (Crispian's to some of you)
Good quality simple story telling Easy to watch, easy to understand, (just what the original playwright intended...) And by far the best St Crispen's day speech I have ever had the fortune to see/hear (its worth renting the DVD just to hear this speech - the 'Once more into the breech' speech didn't do anything for me) Proof that Shakespeare can be just as an enthralling blockbuster today as it was when it was first performed Also Proof that you don't need a mega-budget to make a fantastic film (including the fantastic battle scene that was apparently filmed on a playing field) (The endings a bit naff, but who cares!) Many thanks to the (well-known) airline that provide a huge archive of old films for in-flight entertainment By far the best film I have ever see Kenneth Branagh in Go see it and ENJOY!!!
The Hamburg Cell (2004)
Quality Time
If you give this movie some quality time you are in for a treat.
Not a gratuitous shallow treat, but a gripping story that believably explains how suicide bombers come into being. This film really made me think.
By 'quality time' I mean that you need to watch this movie whilst sober with no other distractions. The film is not wham bham thank you mam, and whilst the film is also not a crime thriller with multiple twists and turns, you really need to be able to concentrate on the whole film to get the most out of it.
Probably the best DocuDrama I have seen to date.
Note: I only watched the film because a friend is in it (he's pretty good too, as the sleazy recruiter at the beginning) but am very pleased that I did.
