Beermonster1958 260 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I've been spoiled for Crimbo! My sister bought me the one true version of War of the Worlds, the 1954 George Pal classic. OK,the acting was a bit hammy but, this was a joy to watch in comparison to the Tom Cruise abomination and, the utterly unwatchable BBC disaster! The scene where the Martian War Machines first appear gliding silently above the ridge behind which they were hiding is one of my favourite film moments. Other delights? She also bought me the excellent series "Chernobyl" and, my partner bought me all three seasons of Hannibal. For those not familiar with the latter, it has nothing to do with Hannibal of Carthage . The lead character is Dr Hannibal Lecter, a k a Hannibal the cannibal, so chillingly portrayed in film by Anthony Hopkins. It was originally shown on Netflix. Funny thing is, my partner wouldn't watch it with me on Netflix A bit too gruesome and scary for her tastes! Mads Mikkelsen takes the leading role and, is a truly scary Lecter! I have been binge watching since Friday. Still got another 25 out of 40 episodes to go!! John Edited December 28, 2020 by Beermonster1958 1 Link to post Share on other sites
