    Films in which Jim Broadbent says “the greater good”

    ...

    The Duke, 2020 - ★★★★½

    A simple story of a remarkable bloke. Bonus points for getting Jim Broadbent to say “the greater good” a few times

    ...

    The Godfather: Part II, 1974 - ★★★★

    Lacked a bit of something that the first film had for me - just a bit of the magic. Still remarkably good, mind.

    ...

    The Godfather, 1972 - ★★★★★

    I’d not watched this film until this week. A complete bucket list film I was waiting for the right time to see. The 50th anniversary screening was playing in a local cinema and I went for it. 

    This film is unbelievably good. Despite being very long, …

    ...

    Moonfall, 2022 - ★½

    A lot of ridiculous stuff happens in this movie but it peaks for me at the space shuttle having Kaspersky anti-virus

    ...

    Dune, 2021 - ★★★★

    A lot of setting up shop for movie two. And space bagpipes

    ...

    Us, 2019 - ★★★★

    I went to watch this film on my own in the cinema when it was released. If it weren't for the comic relief of the Alexa halfway through I probably would've been genuinely scared. A great movie, exactly what a modern horror film should be.

    ...

    Requiem for a Dream, 2000 - ★★★

    This film is bleak. It's so unbelievably bleak.

    ...

    Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, 2019 - ★★★★½

    This film is just great. I have nothing more to say

    ...

    The Big Lebowski, 1998 - ★★★★½

    Am I wrong?

    ...

    Back to the Future, 1985 - ★★★★★

    Unequivocally the best movie of all time. This is everything that a movie needs to be and should aim to be. From the soundtrack to the special effects, the set building (Hill Valley square is a masterpiece), the DeLorean and all the way through to …

    ...

    Se7en, 1995 - ★★★★

    Great film, annoying to have forced ‘7’ into the name and make this film so much of a pain to find

    ...

    Nightmare Alley, 2021 - ★★★

    I think maybe what was going to happen was a bit too signposted for me? Nonetheless, a good film with a unique story.

    ...

    Jackass Forever, 2022 - ★★★★

    It’s juvenile comedy, it really is. There’s something just so funny about seeing someone take a hockey puck to the balls at top speed though.

    ...

    Belfast, 2021 - ★★★★½

    Watched on Sunday February 6, 2022.

    Licorice Pizza, 2021 - ★★★★
