This week haul.
Alien - One of my all time favorite, The art direction, visual effect, screenplay, sound and direction all top notch, hard to recreate it, it has a lasting impact on this genre, excellent 4K transfer
Aliens - James Cameroon wrote an excellent screenplay, Ripley was superb, visual effect, story telling, use of technology, direction all again excellent, this was the last film of this franchaise which made a difference, after this one all fell apart misreably. Brilliant 4K transfer, worth every penny.
Mississippi Burning - In my view it was Alan Parker's best, a film immotalized by Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe's superlative performances. One of the best that ever came in as perod drame - racial discrimination. 4K transfer was excellent. I always liked pressings from Germany.
A bridge too Far - Attenborough's one of the most expensive and expansive film which did not fetch a single oscar nomination. It is certainly not the best in the WWII genre, but a blissful watch. 4K transfer was good, expected better given its price tag.
Congo and Kong: Skull Island - Fun filled films, poor special effects, probably owing to lack of available technology at that time. Kids enjoy them, Me too. 4K transfer was excellent for the later, former not sure.

Loved this
It's a long one at 2hrs 45 mins run time , beautifully shot in retro style.
Watched this after reading great reviews.
The movie takes some time to pick up ,it's a slow burn but once it does it's absolutely classic.
This one is going to give a tough fight for the other nominated movies for sure.
It's a story about a technical guy who just will not give into any demands regarding his innovative ideas in the early 70's in Brazil and is on the run as he has been given a contract to be killed(I don't know much history about the dictatorship leader of Brazil back then)
The ending is confusing and gets you thinking who betrayed Marcello and was the plan to erase Marcello completely suceed or not
It's an intense watch , brilliantly made ,soundtrack is awesome too
Lang : brazillian, eng subtitles.
