Grew up watching all the old Grecian and Roman movies. Turned all my kids onto them as well, including my 9 year old here. She loved Jason and the Argonauts also, along with Sinbad, Troy, The 300, The Thief of Baghdad, Spartacus, The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Clash of the Titans and Hercules.

Reminds me of...

Nah, after all the hype, and only 5.6, that can't be good.

Think I'll just watch Jason and the Argonauts (1963) again, as was cutting edge back in the day.

is that the one with the clockwork owl?

I remember being amazed at that as a kid.

Clash of the Titans ...

The wife likes to watch a movie on Sunday night, she doesn't always have the patience for a series - I try and explain, that good movies don't seem to be made these days. I checked some top 10's and following her brief of "sheet gor dai" I downloaded Liam Neeson, in The Naked Gun - and yes, it made the cut, it was most definitely "sheet".

I have been watching Hide and Seek - The Chestnut Man 2 ,it's been a while since there was a good dark Scandinavian drama, it's well worth a watch and S02 of Beef

After the Party

Imperfect Women

Anyone going to watch the new movie ... Odyssey. Could be good. 👍

I'll watch it just to spite Elon Musk (not that he cares)

A series I can highly recommend is Apple TV's Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, which was recommended by Stephen King on X, who claimed it was even better than Widow's Bay. I have to agree with him. A recently divorced single mother finds solace for her lonelliness in an online "camboy" service. He fakes his own kidnapping in order to scam her and when he turns up dead for real, she becomes the Number 1 suspect. Well acted all around, a tense and compulsively watchable thriller. (I haven't seen the ending yet so let's hope that doesn't spoil things). IMDB has it at 7.3 and Rotten Tomatoes at 93 perent.
