Having tried the two new versions of The Equalizer, I went back to the Edward Woodward version, and sadly found it rather dated.
Got a tip for us?

Agreed.
The other two films(parts 2 & 3) are horrible. It makes me sad that they exist.

Huh. I didn't know that either. I'll probably watch part 2 later tonight and will watch for him.

It is. I remember the first time I saw it... for the first 20 minutes or so I took too seriously, thinking "this is the worst movie, ever...", and then the penny dropped for me, and from that moment - and through countless re-watches - this has been one of my absolute favourite movies...

Playing the ‘antique’ video game in the dinner.
Mind you very recently I found out someone I know was in Hook as a child actor as well.

Butterfield 8 (1960)
A beautiful New York model and socialite enjoys a very active nightlife, but all things change when she falls for a married man and the consequences are tragic. Not one of her best roles being a rather overwrought melodrama.
Butterfield 8 tells a deeply sanitized story of a woman on the wrong side of the tracks who falls in love with a married man. Taylor herself openly criticized the film, which she only made in order to fulfil a contractual obligation with MGM.

Cleopatra (1963)
Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt experiences both triumph and tragedy as she attempts to resist the imperial ambitions of Rome. A film that will likely not be superseded on many levels and for many reasons. The restored version is the one to watch, equally buckle up for over four hours of spectacle, let alone the featurettes & documentary...

Elizabeth Taylor hated, loathed, totally despised Rex Harrison, and I'm sure the feeling was mutual. This can be seen in the first part of the film, and for me, makes it totally unwatchable.

Had to look this one up.After Dark, My Sweet (1990)
Seems like it received favorable reviews ...

The Martian & Project Hail Mary, both great books and movies...
But I am really excited to see Artemis on the big screen, another great Andy Weir book; apparently the largest issue getting it to the big screen is making the whole 1/6 gravity thing realistic without a TON of (very expensive) CGI...

Basic Instinct (1992)
A violent police detective investigates a brutal murder that might involve a manipulative and seductive novelist. Sometime you need to break the rules...

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
I really enjoy the production designers' interpretations of the future from the movies of that era.
Logan's Run, The Omega Man, 2001 (of course)…
And the 70s vibe in general (including when The Americans did it on TV).
Three Days of the Condor, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3…
Randomly come across any of those, and the remote gets put down.

Far better than the last travesty driven by KK's desire to be something when she's actually a talentless nothing.

Karen Gillan's The Party is Just Beginning. It is a very raw film about the damage people sometimes do to each other (definitely NSFW; rated 15), but also it has some upbeat tender moments. In IMDB some prejudiced people objected to the Scottish accents in the film, but the film is set in Scotland (d'uh). I do think there are some references that only people familiar with Scotland would understand, but it is brilliant film even if you miss those references.
