I like "Yesterday". I've never seen "Love Actually" and don't think I ever will.

Similar, I've never seen 'Love Actually' but 'Yesterday' is acceptable if sentimental fare. Having said that, I didn't like the 'Lennon scene' and it does get a bit cheesy towards the end.

The cheese is off the charts by the end, you're talking cazu martzu levels of cheese.

Yes, it certainly does go full Curtis at the end, and there was no need for Ed Sheeran. But it has its moments, and the main two actors are engaging. I quite like alternate reality type stuff. I think I liked Sliding Doors and that was soppy, too. Though been years since I saw it.

About Time is a solid three and a half stars. Bonus points for having a Villa fan in the lead and the best Nick Cave song featuring heavily.

Yeah, I didn't mind that. Though I'd like to have tilted the focus away from soppy more towards gritty time travel realisation.

I really liked About Time and Nick Cave’s song is ace. I didn’t know the bit about the Villa though.

Both the Gleeson boy and his (real life) dad are Villa.

'About Time' was fine for a while, but I started to lose interest about 3/4 of the way through.

You might almost say it was "About Time" it finished.

Yeah I always enjoy Bill Nighy.

I can’t believe people have not see Love Actually. I’ve seen it once and the parts of it loads of times. I quite like it, pretty decent film.

Mind you I’ve only just round to watching The Godfather and I’ve still not seen Sopranos or The Wire.

So how’s does a transfer thread lead into Love Actually and About Time anyway?

Because the Villa are being lazy pricks. I want a signing a day.

El Santo vs. The Vampire Women is pure joy.

Shouldn’t this be in the ‘other games’ thread?

The film buffs on here have clearly forgotten about Bula Quo!
One reviewer summed up the movie well...
"Made as a tax write.off. The whole thing is fish 4 days old. It's about as funny as an orphanage fire and Parfitt and Rossi can't act. They are more wooden than all the palm trees on Fiji. I'm assuming the other actors needed the cash so badly that they couldn't sell any more blood or bodily organs."

There is a film version of Barry Manilow's Copacabana, if anyone fancies it.
