I'm not too big a fan of war films generally, and the period doesn't appeal and the like, but it was a fantastically made film. Seriously great stuff, but a little on the dull side (just because the subject matter turns me off a bit).
Still, great all round bit of film-making - 9/10
The Descent:

Now has a sequel in production:

That movie was fantastic, of course as I am a big fan of war movies. I'll have to downlo.. I mean rent it from the local rental store.
LiveForTheLaunch said:That movie was okay, but a sequel? Is it really necessary? The first one was decent but it's not like it ruptured the box office because it did so well, and I don't hear anything about it ever, so I doubt that the second one will be super successful. One thing about the first one is that it was a pretty jumpy movie.
The Descent did receive a cult status in England when it was released.
When I watched Stand By Me a few weeks ago I thought the same. It was superb twenty years ago, but it's aged badly. It's still a good film, but it has lost a lot over time - Especially up against the likes of Shawshank and Green Mile. Some films can stand the test of time, Stand By Me does, but only by the thinest of grasps.
