Hacksaw Ridge (2016): The scenes prior to the battle where he is bullied for his beliefs are fine but the battle scenes are ruined by unnecessary slow motion shots which I find insulting to the intelligence. The final battle scene is utter Gibson commercial jingoistic crap.
Ledge, The (2011): The screenplay didn't really go anywhere and you felt at times it (or he) needed a bit of a nudge.
House of Games (1987): The early card playing scene was impressive – subsequently I thought the screenplay was a little contrived at times but its well worth watching.
[REC 2] (REC 2) (2009): This sub–genre is overflowing with films so it needs to be pretty good or different to stand out. This one doesn't.
Ant Bully, The (2006): Great entertainment especially from the ants with easy on the eye animation.
Miles Ahead (2015): I assume this was made as a personal tribute by Don to Miles. It is watchable – needless to say the music is up there with the best.rn
Scorpio (1973): The screenplay is competent enough without being special but the casting is worth a watch.
Around the World in 80 Days (2004): Excellent set designs are one aspect of the good looking production values. The three leads work well off each other and are supported by a very good support cast headed by a terrific Jim Broadbent. Very entertaining.
Running with Scissors (2006)
Thunderball (1965): It is good to go back to the early 007 films when the franchise was still fresh and see just how good they were.
