A movie recommendation a day: Funny as hell, pitch-perfect parody clearly made with love for the buddy cop/action genre, terrific filmmaking and performances. Never gets less funny on rewatching either. Good escapism for the insane times we are living in. #movies #filmsky #moviesky - ThreadSky

Do watch with captions; those accents and dialects can be murder.

To this day...I cannot not repeat "the greater good" cuz of this movie....

The red text is for another great film: Shaun of the dead

The entire Cornetto Trilogy is gold. I go against a lot of people, but The World’s End is my favorite of the trilogy.

amyb8888.bsky.social•29 days ago

Really????? You are the only person I’ve heard that from. I shall keep my opinion to myself! Lol

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•29 days ago

I know a lot of dudes that were like Gary King of the Humans, and the soundtrack SLAPS. Like it is the soundtrack of my late teen years - I was heavy into Britpop/Shoegaze at that time.

I love this movie! Another from that era Shaun of the Dead is also rad.

'Morning.' 😆

Everyone should watch it - it’s for the greater gooood.

mediabowie.bsky.social•26 days ago

Probably my favourite comedy

calimocho1.bsky.social•29 days ago

This movie is just full of iconic dialogues and action sequences, best movie in the cornetto trilogy that everyone and their moms should watch it for the greater good.

lalenjames.bsky.social•30 days ago

I've had this on DVD for 15 years and never got around to watching it 😹 Maybe it is finally time...

amyb8888.bsky.social•30 days ago

YES!!

I love this movie. Not a second of dialogue wasted, a comedy masterclass from Edgar Wright. Glad it is appreciated your side of the pond. I had one Floridian comment to me that it was "too British" for his liking 🤷‍♂️

amyb8888.bsky.social•30 days ago

🙄🙄🙄

I watch almost exclusively British TV shows and lots of Brit movies. I don’t get people‘s issues with either accents or content. Far superior to most entertainment media, IMO.

My pfp is from the IT crowd. Need I say more?
👏👏👏

danpoxton.bsky.social•30 days ago

I get that sometimes there is some parochial in-joke that can be a bit impenetrable, but I sometimes get that with American TV shows too. All part of the charm 😁

Have you seen "Spaced", the series that kicked off the Wright/Pegg/Frost partnership?

amyb8888.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yes! Very good.

richtelford.bsky.social•30 days ago

Spaced is bloody brilliant. Reminds me of being a student in the mid/late 90s.

danpoxton.bsky.social•30 days ago

The soundtrack kicked ass too. Nightmares on Wax, Lemon Jelly. That's exactly what the kind of stuff I was listening to back then.

danpoxton.bsky.social•30 days ago

I know *exactly* what you mean. When Spaced came out I'd just finished uni and started my first job in a new city and moved into a shared house with four randoms. To us it appeared someone had made a TV series about our lives as they were happening in that very moment. We loved that show.
